Almost 20 years after the first episode aired in France, Lola (Beatriz Luengo), Silvia (Monica Cruz), Roberto (Miguel Angel Muñoz) and Carmen Aranci (Lola Herrera) return to the small screen, alongside many new ones. Children who make life difficult for them.

Now the principal of the Carmen Aranci School, Silvia is having great difficulty saving the debt-ridden institution and recruiting new students. The time when only the name of the school could pull the basket to the top is now over.

Young talents no longer want to go through long and expensive studies to start their careers. It was in this context that Roberto, who spent his last years in the United States, returned to Madrid.

A sequel that carries nostalgia

We’ve been waiting a year for this sequel to Un, Dos, Tres and it’s safe to say that this first episode did not disappoint. If some of the issues are similar to the original series (a school in financial trouble, a penniless student who doesn’t know how to pay for school, a privileged young girl who loses all her possessions…), let’s still have a lot of fun. Finding the Carmen Aranci school and especially Silvia, Lola and Roberto who have been studying for several years now. Will they succeed in putting aside their differences to save the school?

Un, Dos, Tres: The New Generation, of course, happily plays on nostalgia, but still offers a scenario that will delight a young audience that does not necessarily watch the original series, especially thanks to the new students, deeper and better constructed that will not fail. To leave us their share of drama.

And at a time when Elite and La Casa de Papel are on the rise, we don’t doubt for a second that UPA Next (the original title of the series), which offers nudity and sex from the first episode, will manage to find you. the audience.

Note that, as with the original series, the episode divisions have been rearranged for the French broadcast. If seven episodes are offered in Spain, eight episodes, split over two evenings, will be broadcast on W9.
