“Cabo” is the new TelevisaUnivision telenovela that will surprise viewers in 2023, which will see its premiere date on January 9 at 10pm ET/9pm C. The story of Sofía and Alejandro is interpreted by Bárbara de Regil and Matias Novoa. However, it is worth saying that the plot is not new to the viewer, on more than one occasion this story has been told, which, yes, has been modified in each new version.

The characters that accompany Sofía and Alejandro have undergone several modifications compared to what we saw in their predecessors, for this reason we advise viewers to pay real attention to the performances of Eva Cedeño, Diego Amozurrutia, Mar Contreras, Rebecca Jones, Sofía Rivera Torres, Maria Chacon, and Rafael Inclan.

We know this story!

The first time that the Hispanic public came across this drama was when Televisa broadcast “Tú o nadie” in 1985. At that time the production featured Lucía Méndez and Andrés García as protagonists. The story was a “hit” in its time.

From this came the telenovela “Acapulco, cuerpo y alma” from 1995 with Patricia Manterola and Saúl Lizaso. However, in 2009 the soap opera that raised all the ratings and put William Levy’s popularity even more on the map was the third remake of this melodrama, which at that time was called “Sortilegio”. Along with Levy, the Mexican actress Jacqueline Bracamontes was starring.

To this day, after the success of “Tú o Nadie” it is recognized that the greatest triumph in this story came with Levy and Bracamontes as stars, which is why many are waiting for “Cabo”, which takes up the beach scene with which he did not count “Sortilegio” as a constant scenario.

Yes, the couple of Alejandro and Maríajosé had their moments in front of the sea and other water settings like the famous cenote, but never like “Acapulco, body and soul”, which is why the melodrama, produced by José Alberto ‘El Güero’ Castro probably chose to return to these roots and hence the reason for the soap opera’s name: “Cabo”. And it is that everything happens in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur.
