In the week of the big premieres for the new season of Mediaset, Atresmedia observes its opponent carefully… and counterattacks. If Telecinco has announced the premiere of its brand new format El musical de tu vida for this Wednesday, in contrast to the second program of The Floor, Antena 3 has not fallen short when it comes to counterprogramming Mediaset’s great bet for prime time : GH VIP. Both formats will also have to face MasterChef Celebrity.
Joaquín, el rookie, the format in which the retired soccer player seeks a new vocation, returns this Thursday to prime time with its second season, and has announced Ana Obregón as the protagonist of the first program.
“We are very happy because, for these new programs, great characters have agreed to accompany me and help me to try to get the best out of me; and so that, at the end of each program, the debut is at least decent and can save the furniture. We will see …”, jokes Joaquín in a statement released this Tuesday by Atresmedia.
The charismatic former soccer player will have a visit from Paco León, Bárbara Rey, Sonsoles Ónega, Manu Carrasco, Roberto Leal, Almudena Cid or Alaska and Mario, among others. All of them will help you become an actor, film director, game show host or reporter, among other professions, with their advice and the numerous anecdotes experienced throughout their respective work careers.
In the new season, viewers will be able to see Joaquín and his family following the program from the couch at home. In this way, they will observe the family’s reaction to the funniest and most emotional moments that occur throughout the interview, the masterclass, the meal, and the debut of each installment.
With more than 30 years of career, actress Ana Obregón will become this Thursday the new teacher of Joaquín, the rookie, who must learn all the ins and outs of the world of acting. In parallel, the protagonist will reveal all the details of the birth of her granddaughter Ana Sandra, who was born through surrogacy in Miami.
“Anita was desired by my son two weeks before he left us. It was his last wish,” she says. She will tell how she started the process and how she had been immersed in Aless’s desire for three years. “Only Alessandro and my two sisters knew, no one else. I wanted to keep everything discreet,” she confesses.
Ana will detail how she suffered the last month before her son’s death and the incident that occurred in an apartment located in Barcelona, ??days before her death, where her ex-husband, Alessandro Lequio, saved her life. “I locked myself in the room, went out to the balcony and raised my leg. They knocked on the door and it was Alessandro. That made me come back to a certain extent, and it was he who, without realizing it, saved my life,” he says through tears.
Ana Obregón will answer questions such as her persecution by an agency after leaving the hospital in Miami, whether there is a relationship with the pregnant woman and how she faced the media pressure of the moment. She will also talk about her beginnings in cinema and her memories of her alongside Steven Spielberg, Robert De Niro or Diego Maradona, revealing whether she has had a more intimate relationship with any of them.
On Joaquín’s professional level, Ana Obregón will teach a master class in which The Rookie will have to interpret different scenes, such as the romantic moment from Titanic, the sensual scene from When Harry Met Sally, where the footballer will express, laughing: “I I think Ana enjoyed my orgasm”, and the erotic moment from the movie Ghost.
As a culmination, El Novato will face, once again, the long-awaited debut. Joaquín will perform, along with Ana Obregón, the famous scene from the film The Mask of Zorro, with a cinematic ending: a passionate kiss of love between them, characterized as Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the award-winning audiovisual production. Will Joaquín become the next movie star of the moment?
Joaquín, the rookie, closed his first season leading all of his broadcasts, with more than 1.8 million viewers on average, and an 18.2% audience share, more than double the lead over his direct competitor. It was the best entertainment premiere since 2012.
