‘Velvet El Nuevo Imperio' Gets Debut Date, Telemundo Releases First Look Trailer
Samantha Siqueiros and Yon González in a scene from "Velvet El Nuevo Imperio." Telemundo has released the first official trailer for its upcoming original series Velvet El Nuevo Imperio, a modern remake of Spain's international hit Velvet, giving audiences a first look at the reimagined romantic drama. Yon González (Las Chicas del Cable, Memento Mori) and Samantha Siqueiros (Casa de Papel: Berlin, Señora Acero) star in the lead roles of Alberto Márquez and Ana Velázquez in this new version of the love story, set against a backdrop of jealousy, ambition, power and intrigue. Alberto, the heir to the Velvet fashion empire, returns home to save the family business and rekindles a romance with Ana. Their relationship becomes complicated with the arrival of Cristina Otegui, portrayed by Carolina Miranda (Fake Profile, ¿Quién mató a Sara?), as well as the weight of family responsibilities and expectations. The network's 2025 adaptation of the Spanish hit romantic series - originally set in a 1950s Spanish fashion house - introduces several changes, including moving the storyline to present-day New York. However, core elements of the story remain. In the trailer, fans of Velvet will recognize the star-crossed lovers on a rooftop escapade, with Ana looking stunning in a bright red dress - just as she did in the original series. 'Velvet El Nuevo Imperio is not a continuation, it is a reinvention,' says Javier Pons, who led the development of the production and was recently promoted Chief Content Officer and Head of Telemundo Studios. 'With a fresh narrative, unforgettable characters, and a star-studded cast, this contemporary retelling honors the original that fans fell in love with, while introducing the world of Velvet to a whole new generation.' The cast also includes legendary Mexican actor and producer Humberto Zurita (La Reina del Sur) as patriarch Benjamín Márquez, Chantal Andere (El maleficio, El Conde: Amor y honor), Itatí Cantoral, and many other notable actors. Velvet El Nuevo Imperio debuts Monday, May 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT/8 p.m. CT on Telemundo. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on the Telemundo app and Peacock.

Telemundo's remake of the Spanish hit series Velvet has picked up its new official title, added several high-profile cast members, and zeroed in on when it will make its premiere. Now titled Velvet El Nuevo Imperio, production began in late February, with Spain's Yon González (Las Chicas del Cable, Memento Mori) and Mexico's Samantha Siqueiros (Casa de Papel: Berlin, Señora Acero) starring as star-crossed lovers Alberto Márquez and Ana Velázquez, trying to make their mark in the high-stakes world of fashion.
