The audience will be able to laugh again with Alpha Males’ particular deconstruction of toxic masculinity. And Pedro, Santi, Luis and Raúl, the characters played by Fernando Gil, Gorka Otxoa, Fele Martínez and Raúl Tejón, will return to Netflix on February 9 with the second season.
Alberto and Laura Caballero, the coveted directors of La que se cerca, continue behind the comedy, which after its premiere on December 30, 2022 stood out for highlighting a burning debate: the way in which heterosexual men embrace female empowerment and the need to change marital dynamics. The male characters, in fact, are only half of the equation: the cast is completed by Paula Gallego, Raquel Guerrero and Kira Miró.
In the new episodes, the men feel more prepared to find their place in the world after completing a course precisely to deconstruct themselves. They believe they are closer to a modern, less toxic and patriarchal masculinity; when the reality is that they are more misplaced than ever. Will they be able to adapt to this era of gender equality, open couples and Tinder or will the alpha male within them continue to come out?
This is one of the projects that Alberto Caballero was surely referring to this December when, after finishing the broadcast of the fourteenth season of La que se cerca on Prime Video, he said that he was more comfortable with other productions from Contubernio S.L, his production company. . “At this point, having other formats that are much more comfortable to write in, and better paid, the miracle is that you continue to have LQSA,” he confessed. Having to write 80-minute comedy episodes is quite a feat.
Alfa Machos, for example, had a first season of 10 30-minute episodes. The second is expected to have the same characteristics. And, furthermore, the change of format for the Caballeros was a success: in its first four weeks it added more than 45 million hours watched, a good figure considering the profile of the fiction, being a comedy and the total duration of the production.
