Univision unveils eight new telenovelas for 2026-27 season
Eight new telenovelas are on Univision’s 2026-27 slate, led by Corazón de Oro with Mayrín Villanueva, Gabriel Soto and Gala Montes in prime time.
Univision has eight new telenovelas lined up for its 2026-27 season, and Corazón de Oro is the easiest one to file first: it has Mayrín Villanueva, Gabriel Soto and Gala Montes, plus a prime-time slot already set. For viewers sorting the slate, that makes it the most commercial and most star-powered title in the batch, while the larger rollout looks built to keep broadcast and streaming moving together.
At TelevisaUnivision’s May 12 upfront in New York, the company framed the season around fiction, realities, multiplatform formats and live music events, with programming drawn from Univision, UNIMÁS and ViX. That setup matters because it shows the novela push as part of a wider content funnel, not just a list of isolated premieres. The eight-title count signals volume, but the strategy signals something sharper: the network wants nightly drama to carry primetime while also feeding its other platforms.
Corazón de Oro sets the pace for that plan. TelevisaUnivision said the novela began production on December 9, 2025, and later set the premiere for Tuesday, July 14 at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT on Univision. Univision’s Novelas page also lists it Monday through Friday at 10 p.m./9c. With Villanueva and Gabriel Soto fronting the story and Gala Montes cast as the antagonist, the show arrives with the kind of familiar face value that usually marks a safe bet for the network.
That is the useful way to read the eight-new-novela rollout: Corazón de Oro is the clearest anchor, the other titles are part of a broader broadcast-plus-streaming push, and Univision is using the 2026-27 season to keep its novela identity at the center of the schedule. For fans deciding what to watch first, the lineup already has its lead story.
