Antena 3 welcomes a milestone edition of Your face looks familiar, returning for its tenth season with a lineup that shines across screen chemistry and beloved personalities. The cast features Alfred García, Anne Igartiburu, Agustín Jiménez, Jadel, Merche, Miriam Rodríguez, Josie, Andrea Guasch, and Susi Caramelo, marking a reunion of talent that fans have followed through the years. The premiere promises a vibrant blend of nostalgia and fresh energy, as a stage once defined by iconic moments now opens a new chapter filled with bold performances and high-spirited competition.
In talking about the season, Carmen Ferreiro, the entertainment director for Atresmedia, described the approach as one of lighthearted fun fused with sharp wit. She noted that the judging panel has formed an unusually cohesive dynamic this year, moving beyond routine banter to create a more engaging and dynamic presence on screen. The press conference underscored a clear objective: to increase laughter while preserving a high standard of performance and entertaining value throughout every episode, ensuring the show remains memorable for long-time viewers and newcomers alike.
A standout innovation this season is the introduction of the “Duel” box. This new feature places two contestants in a friendly, competitive situation where both imitate the same artist but choose different songs during the same gala. The result is a clash of styles and interpretations that injects tension and excitement into the competition and invites audiences to compare choices and performances in real time. Tinet Rubira, general manager of Gestmusic and the creator of the format, stressed the importance of managing change with care. He highlighted internal discussions about balancing tradition with novelty, acknowledging that some factions resist alterations while others push for new ideas that can elevate the show without losing its essence.
The tenth edition also leans into European music culture, drawing inspiration from Eurovision as part of its premieres. Andrea Guasch will attempt a Chanel impersonation with the song “Slomo,” a track that has enjoyed notable success across Europe. Rubira explained that Eurovision serves as a valuable fountain of inspiration, bringing fresh choreography, staging concepts, and performance ideas that the program can explore and adapt. He described the festival as a powerful source of energy that fuels exciting new directions while remaining faithful to the show’s core format and identity.
Fans should anticipate a distinctive lens on familiar celebrities this season. Anne Igartiburu, for instance, is set to blur the lines between presenter and performer by stepping into the contestant role in addition to her hosting duties. This dual capacity is designed to offer audiences a new way to connect with a well-known figure, providing a more intimate look at how a celebrity adapts to a challenging disguise within a live performance rhythm. The arrangement invites viewers to reconsider public personas and to notice the layers that lie beneath the surface of television fame, especially as performers navigate stagecraft, timing, and audience interaction in real time.
Igartiburu reflected on how public perception shapes an entertainer’s on-screen persona. She spoke about how audiences often encounter a single facet of a celebrity, shaped by hours of televised presence. The discussion touched on balancing credibility with entertainment value and how a performer’s versatility can reveal multiple facets—from artistic taste to personal interests such as art, motorcycles, or opera. The insight reinforces the program’s broader aim: to present more than impersonations, offering a richer, more nuanced portrait of the celebrities involved and the craft behind their imitations, live moments, and audience connection.
During the same interview, the host discussed how the show’s tone has evolved and how the talent pool this season embraces bold changes. Participants showed enthusiasm for morphing into characters as varied as moustached gentlemen or composed ladies on stage. This willingness to experiment demonstrates a shared appetite for risk, maintaining the core concept while pushing into unexpected directions. The dialogue highlights the show’s commitment to staying entertaining, surprising, and emotionally engaging for viewers, inviting them to witness creativity in motion and to feel the electricity of live performance as it unfolds before their eyes, night after night.
