The new dramatic bet will have Francisco Reyes and Francisco Melo in the leading roles.
With a 15 second video, Mega presented what will be his new nighttime soap opera and what goes by name The Casablancas.
In the images we see Raimundo Casablanca (Francisco Reyes) leaving a building with their children while they are besieged by the press. The four heirs are played by Mariana Di Girolamo, Francisco Reyes Cristi, Max Salgado and Octavia Bernasconi.
While that happens, the character who will be in charge of Francisco Melo reads a newspaper note titled: “Raimundo Casablanca, the success of his empire“. However, everything indicates that he did not like the news and he ends up throwing the newspaper to the ground, in anger.
According to reports, who will also be part of this fiction will be Sigrid Alegría who will be a couple again with Francisco Reyes. The last time they worked together was in 2019-2020 in I am Lorenzo.
“The arrival of Iván comes to revolutionize the life of Los Casablanca, the most powerful family in Chile“, is the brief synopsis that Mega shared along with this first preview of this new dramatic bet.
At the moment, its release date is unknown and the names that will make up the cast of what will be the successor to El Señor de la Querencia.

Dr. Elena Castro: It appears that The Casablancas will delve into the complexities of family dynamics under public scrutiny. The media frenzy surrounding Raimundo indicates that themes of fame, privacy, and the impact of public perception on personal lives will be explored. Viewers often connect with stories that reflect real-life challenges, and this could resonate deeply.
