LOS ANGELES, December 29, 2025 – A potential ratings record is brewing south of the border, adn it’s capturing attention in the U.S. market. Since it’s December 8th premiere on univision, the Mexican soap opera Doménica Montero is sparking buzz, with early numbers suggesting it could become one of the most-watched telenovelas in history.
A New Era for Telenovelas?
Doménica Montero’s success is reigniting interest in the genre, and putting actress Angelique Boyer front and center. Reports from the program Wake up on N+ suggest the show may even be eligible for a Guinness World Record due to its impressive viewership. Boyer, while appreciative of the enthusiasm, is approaching the possibility of a record with characteristic humility.
“Yes, there are triumphant actresses, of course,” Boyer told the press, acknowledging the legacy of stars who came before her. “Times have changed,I think it’s been a long time since peopel saw a melodrama that they identified with so much,but there has been one. It would be a little silly for me to take advantage of this because we are honestly very happy with the result.” These comments were also reported by Wake up america.
Reconnecting with Classic Storytelling
Boyer believes Doménica Montero’s potential success isn’t just about her performance, but a broader desire for the emotional resonance that telenovelas traditionally offer. In a media landscape overflowing with content, she suggests audiences are craving stories that truly connect. The goal, she explained, was “to reach new generations” through a narrative that prioritizes emotional depth.
