Univision Communications’ 2021-22 programming lineup features more than 2,500 hours of original content across its Univision and UniMás broadcast networks, with scripted and unscripted programming, tentpoles, news and sports events.

Regarding live programming, TUDN Mega-Fest combines a love of fútbol and music in a massive live consumer and media event in Los Angeles. Univision’s weekend-long new tentpole will feature an all-star music concert; Balón de Oro, the most prominent Mexican soccer awards gala; Liga MX’s Campeón de Campeones (Champion of Champions), Mexican soccer ultimate championship match, and more.

Starting next fall, Univision will honor the global impact of the U.S. Hispanic community, the pioneers, the game-changers and visionaries spanning sports, music, food, arts, healthcare, politics, technology and business with UniVisionarios. The program will celebrate those who have dedicated their lives to helping others. Viewers will have the opportunity to vote and decide who will be named the visionaries of the year in a televised gala during Hispanic Heritage Month in 2022.

Univision’s most popular and longest-running reality competition Nuestra Belleza Latina (Our Latin Beauty) will head into season 12. The Domingos en Familia (Family Sundays) block will feature the return of hit reality competition shows Pequeños Gigantes (Little Giants), Mira Quién Baila (Look Who’s Dancing), Tu Cara Me Suena (Your Face Sounds Familiar) and ¿Quién es La Máscara? (The Masked Singer).

UniMás will also showcase new editions of its successful reality competitions: Inseparables, Amor al Límite (Power Couple) and Guerreros 2021 (Warriors 2021).  On the heels of the successful Colombian reality show Desafío: Súper Regiones, which aired earlier this year on UniMás, the mega-production Desafío The Box (Challenge The Box) will take place in the jungle of Tobia, Cundinamarca in Colombia.

In the way of drama, following the success of Vencer el Miedo (Overcoming Fear) and Vencer el Desamor (Overcoming Heartbreak), the third installment of the blockbuster anthology, Vencer el Pasado (Overcoming the Past) brings back another story about women empowerment.

La Desalmada (The Fiend) stars José Ron and Livia Brito in a romantic melodrama that will bring love, passion and unexpected plot twists to Univision’s prime time.

Following the success of Cuna de Lobos (Den of Wolves), La Usurpadora (The Usurper) and Rubí, the fourth series of The Collection, an anthology of timeless classics reimagined for a new generation, will premiere on Univision: Los Ricos También Lloran (The Rich Also Cry).

Génesis (The Story of Creation) is a new epic series that takes audiences to the beginning of time to tell the story of the first book of the Bible and one of the most recognized books worldwide, Genesis.

S.O.S. Me Estoy Enamorando (S.O.S. I’m Falling in Love) is a family-friendly, inspirational drama featuring Daniel Arenas and Iran Castillo. Produced by Lucero Suárez (Te Doy La Vida, Ringo), the series tells the story of Alberto, who will have to make a deal to save the screen-printing shop that’s been in his family for decades.

Soltero con Hijas (Single with Kids) is a light-hearted comedy that tells the story of Nicolás and Victoria, who love and hate one another. However, life will surprise them, and they will end up forming a beautiful, funny and peculiar family next to Nicolás’ three orphaned nieces: Camila, Alexa and Sofi.

The comedy franchise Vecinos (Neighbors) will return later this year for a 10th and 11th season. Also in the way of comedy, Dr. Cándido Pérez is a reimagined version of the beloved ’90s sitcom, starring Arath de la Torre and Irán Castillo.

Amor Prohibido (Forbidden Love), one of the highest-rated dramas of all time in Turkey, comes to the U.S. on Univision’s sister network UniMás. Also from Turkey, Las Mil y Una Noches (A Thousand and One Nights) focuses on the troubled romance between Sehrazat and Onur.

The slate also features a second season of La Reina del Flow (Queen of Flow).

“It is an exciting time at Univision and I am proud to help chart the course of our transformation that will take this iconic media company to new heights,” said Luis Silberwasser, president of Univision Television Networks Group at Univision. “We are focused on bringing Hispanics together by delivering programming that generates live viewership, ingniting the passion for community, family and culture within them. It is why we are adding more tentpole events, more sports programming, and expanding our news hours. Nothing energizes our audience more than live entertainment and, combined with a proven weekday primetime lineup filled with the best scripted novelas and series from around the world, we are authentically serving U.S. Hispanics with the content they love.”
