“UPA Next” has finally arrived, bringing a fresh chapter to the beloved series that originally defined a generation. The sequel to the popular show that captured hearts two decades ago has begun its weekly broadcasts on Atresplayer Premium, where fans can expect a new episode to drop each week, keeping the momentum alive for long-time followers and newcomers alike. The first installment premiered during the Christmas period, and it’s now making its way onto Antena 3 for wider television exposure, widening accessibility for viewers in Canada and the United States who follow the franchise across platforms.
For eager watchers, the upcoming Thursday, May 11, at midnight, promises a special moment: following the latest episode of the drama Heridas, the new UPA Next chapter will be available to view at no additional cost. This timing creates a convenient window for audiences who want to catch the continuation right after the latest broadcast, offering a seamless transition from the ongoing storyline to the new adventures of the young cast and their evolving lives. The release strategy underscores the show’s aim to reach both dedicated fans and curious viewers who may be discovering the series anew, now that it blends nostalgia with contemporary storytelling.
UPA Next comprises eight episodes, reuniting the original cast and recapturing the spirit that defined the series twenty years ago. In this updated chapter, Miguel Ángel Muñoz, Mónica Cruz, and Beatriz Luengo return to embody their iconic characters—Rober, Silvia, and Lola—now reimagined as school teachers who navigate the challenges of modern education, relationships, and personal growth. The narrative threads weave back to the chemistry that made the original a touchstone for many viewers, while placing the characters in fresh contexts that reflect current times. This balance between faithful characterization and new storytelling enlivens the series for both longtime fans who crave familiar dynamics and new audiences seeking authentic, character-driven drama.
