Nobody Knows Anything is a longtime improvisational gem led by Andreu Buenafuente and Berto Romero. The show began on radio and soon earned a new life in television, expanding its audience as a Max Original format. Produced by El Terrat, a prominent production unit within The Mediapro Studio, the program has evolved from a radio staple into a television experience that captures the same chemistry and spontaneity that fans have adored for years.
Now in its ninth season, the beloved format continues to captivate audiences by bridging radio, podcast, and video platforms. It remains essential listening on Cadena SER and SER Podcast, while weekly YouTube drops keep the stream of fresh material flowing. In addition to regular episodes, the show features special broadcasts that offer fans unique behind-the-scenes moments, extended improvisations, and one-off collaborations that showcase the versatility of the two leads and their creative team.
The new television version is slated to debut on June 18 on HBO Max in Spain and HBO Max in Latin America, marking a significant expansion of the show’s reach. The transition preserves the core elements that defined its radio origins—rapid-fire humor, spontaneous exchanges, and a sense of shared history between Buenafuente and Romero—while translating those elements to a visual format that amplifies the performers’ on-screen rapport and audience interaction.
Originating in 2013 as a radio program for the SER network, the duo’s artistic and personal rapport has always been the engine of Nobody Knows Anything. Even as the podcast and radio segments grew in popularity, the weekly dynamic between Buenafuente and Romero remained the centerpiece, driving the show’s ability to stay relevant year after year. In 2021 and 2020, the program stood out as one of Spain’s most-streamed podcasts according to Spotify, underscoring its broad appeal across audio and now video platforms.
Improv, humor, anecdotal storytelling, and the playful interplay with audiences are all integral to the program. The creators describe the project as a living kitchen where ideas simmer and transform, producing dishes of comedy that reflect the performers’ decades-long careers. The production team emphasizes that the essence of the format lies in the candid, improvised exchanges between the hosts and their ability to turn ordinary moments into memorable entertainment. The sentiment is clear: the show invites audiences to witness a collaborative act of comic invention, with each episode serving as a fresh recipe that highlights the comfort and friction of a long-standing artistic partnership.
For Romero, the show provides a protected space—a kind of creative corral that allows two seasoned comedians to explore, entertain, and experiment. The format is described as a weekly comedy ring, a collaborative, playful pursuit where the hosts balance humor with heart, and where the shared history adds a layer of warmth and trust that audiences recognize and respond to with enthusiasm.
HBO Max executives view the television adaptation as a logical and revitalizing step for the brand. The collaboration signals a broader commitment to showcasing a sophisticated dynamic that has proven its resonance over many years. Both Buenafuente and Romero have long demonstrated a rare chemistry, and the new series aims to deepen that collaboration while inviting new viewers to discover the signature spontaneity that has defined their careers.
Nobody Knows Anything remains a co-production of El Terrat for HBO Max, with participation from Buenafuente and Romero, as well as Xen Subirats and Lydia Cerrudo for El Terrat and Miguel Salvat for HBO Max. The arrangement underscores a shared vision to preserve the show’s original spirit while expanding its format for a broader, contemporary audience. As the producers underscore, the project is about more than humor; it is about a genuine comedic partnership that resonates across generations and platforms.
