The life of the successor to ‘Save me’ could continue beyond streaming. Three days after the legendary Telecinco program said goodbye after fourteen years on the air, La Fábrica de la Tele shared a brief message on social networks after the announcement that its main collaborators would continue their story on Netflix. In it, an additional detail was implied, the possibility that this new project could be seen in other formats.
The producer of the long-running afternoon magazine published a short video in which a hand wrote an encrypted message in the sand on a beach. It was a list detailing the broad features of the project. First of all, there was ‘Save me’ and the name of Netflix, along with an affirmative tick next to it. Below was the most striking part: a third entry on the list that indicated an ellipsis, something that has raised hundreds of speculations.
Posted next to the question “And if in addition to Netflix…?”, several users have flirted with the idea that the new La Fábrica de la Tele program can be broadcast on other platforms besides Netflix, such as conventional linear television. . Even Belén Esteban has reacted to the video. Although the format of this project is far from that of a daily magazine, the possibility of being broadcast on other television channels is still plausible, and pending what may happen in the coming months, nothing can be ruled out.
At the moment, the details of the post-‘Save Me’ project are scarce, but they give clues as to what this new adventure may bring for the collaborators who have signed up. The first to uncover a clue was Rocco Steinhäuser in ‘Versió RAC1’. “The Tele Factory is preparing a transgressive, funny and very crazy program with the eight best-known faces of ‘Sálvame'”, were his words a few weeks after the original format came to an end.
These eight faces that Netflix would confirm days later are Chelo García Cortés, Kiko Matamoros, Kiko Hernández, Belén Esteban, María Patiño, Lydia Lozano, Víctor Sandoval and Terelu Campos. Regarding the contents of the new project, these commentators are expected to travel throughout Latin America to attend other similar formats in which they have made an appearance or with which they have connected at some time in ‘Sálvame’.
“Ladies, gentlemen. Those of us who are here are going to Netflix. We are going to America!”, were the words that Belén Esteban shouted to the four winds, during the last broadcast of the program on Mediaset. A program that ended fourteen years of television history in style, with a great bonfire in San Juan in which furniture and secret files of the program burned in equal parts.
