Movistar Plus has some disappointing news for fans of the program Resistance: Space, hosted by David Broncano, will not be airing this week on the network.
The show premiered in February 2018 and quickly became a hit for pay-TV in Spain, drawing a devoted and enthusiastic audience. La Resistencia is a late-night talk show that blends celebrity interviews with humor and entertainment, all delivered in a fresh and approachable format.
The reason for the success of “La Resistencia”
La Resistencia stands out from traditional talk shows by adopting a more relaxed, intimate tone that brings the host, guests, and audience closer together. Filmed at the Teatro Arlequín in Madrid, it creates a cozy space that encourages spontaneous interaction and a sense of camaraderie among everyone involved.
The core format centers on conversations with prominent figures from cinema, music, sports, and other areas of popular culture. Broncano guides these talks with a light, humorous touch, peppering conversations with surprising questions and unexpected moments. The show also features comedy and entertainment segments, including monologues, sketches, and challenges that often involve guests and the live audience.
The humor of La Resistencia is irreverent, sometimes absurd, and occasionally provocative. This distinctive style has earned both praise and critique, helping the program carve out a recognizable identity over multiple seasons. Much of its appeal comes from the chemistry between Broncano and his team, including director Ricardo Castella and the beatbox artist who handles music and sound effects.

The impact and great acceptance of the program is not without controversy.
Since its debut, La Resistencia has drawn a wide and diverse audience, with a strong appeal among younger viewers who see it as a fresh alternative to conventional late-night formats. The program’s success is linked not only to steady viewership on Movistar Plus but also to clips and moments from interviews that frequently go viral.
The show has faced its share of controversy due to its irreverent humor and some provocative interview moments. Yet these episodes did not stop La Resistencia from growing its fan base. In many cases, debates surrounding humor and freedom of expression have amplified the show’s visibility and sparked conversations about where humor should draw the line.

Surprise the audience and discover new talents
Over its seasons, La Resistencia has continually evolved, delivering fresh episodes, guests, and funny situations that keep viewers engaged. The program has become a platform for emerging talents in music, sports, and culture, giving voice to people with compelling life stories that might otherwise have gone unheard by a broad audience.
Adaptability has been a key to its longevity. By embracing new forms of communication, the show stayed relevant to a fragmented and demanding audience. La Resistencia has left a lasting mark on Spanish television and has influenced the emergence of other talk-show formats aiming to borrow its signature approach. Some attempts have achieved success, but none have matched the influence and popularity of La Resistencia.
off for french toast
“Sorry, we’ll be busy this week. We will be back on Monday the 10th,” the program’s social feeds posted, showing the team cooking French toast in four accompanying photos. This lighthearted tease signaled a brief hiatus masked as a playful behind-the-scenes moment.
Thus La Resistencia announced a short break, promising a return with the same sense of humor and energy fans have come to expect. The message hinted at a return after a short pause, during which viewers would look forward to more of the show’s distinctive content.
