‘Velvet El Nuevo Imperio' Gets Debut Date, Telemundo Releases First Look Trailer

Telemundo has released the first official trailer for its upcoming original series Velvet El Nuevo Imperio, a modern remake of Spain's international hit Velvet, giving audiences a first look at the reimagined romantic drama.
Yon González (Las Chicas del Cable, Memento Mori) and Samantha Siqueiros (Casa de Papel: Berlin, Señora Acero) star in the lead roles of Alberto Márquez and Ana Velázquez in this new version of the love story, set against a backdrop of jealousy, ambition, power and intrigue.
Alberto, the heir to the Velvet fashion empire, returns home to save the family business and rekindles a romance with Ana. Their relationship becomes complicated with the arrival of Cristina Otegui, portrayed by Carolina Miranda (Fake Profile, ¿Quién mató a Sara?), as well as the weight of family responsibilities and expectations.
The network's 2025 adaptation of the Spanish hit romantic series - originally set in a 1950s Spanish fashion house - introduces several changes, including moving the storyline to present-day New York. However, core elements of the story remain. In the trailer, fans of Velvet will recognize the star-crossed lovers on a rooftop escapade, with Ana looking stunning in a bright red dress - just as she did in the original series.
'Velvet El Nuevo Imperio is not a continuation, it is a reinvention,' says Javier Pons, who led the development of the production and was recently promoted Chief Content Officer and Head of Telemundo Studios. 'With a fresh narrative, unforgettable characters, and a star-studded cast, this contemporary retelling honors the original that fans fell in love with, while introducing the world of Velvet to a whole new generation.'
The cast also includes legendary Mexican actor and producer Humberto Zurita (La Reina del Sur) as patriarch Benjamín Márquez, Chantal Andere (El maleficio, El Conde: Amor y honor), Itatí Cantoral, and many other notable actors.
Velvet El Nuevo Imperio debuts Monday, May 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT/8 p.m. CT on Telemundo. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on the Telemundo app and Peacock.

St. Vincent Taps Mon Laferte for Spanglish Duet of ‘Violent Times'
Last year, St. Vincent reimagined her LP All Born Screaming in Spanish, releasing Todos Nacen Gritando in November. Now, she's bringing along the stunnning vocals of Mon Laferte to add a twist to the en español version of 'Violent Times,' or 'Tiempos Violentos.' 'When I first heard the Spanish version, I felt a deep attraction,' Mon Laferte says of the song. 'It was beautiful and haunting. I wanted to give it my own voice, make it my own too, and do it alongside an artist I've long admired.' More from Rolling Stone Remy Bond Channels the 'Diamond Sadness' of the Seventies in 'Moviestar' Video Shakira and Alejandro Sanz Reunite - Again! - for Love Song 'Bésame' Connie Francis Reacts to Going Viral on Tiktok for 1961 B-Side 'Pretty Little Baby' On the new version of the track, Laferte opens the song in Spanish, before St. Vincent joins in English as the two take turns tackling the song's lyrics and their own language. 'Collaborating with Mon gave the song a new shape, a new lifeblood, a new depth. Like a dream falling into another dream,' St. Vincent said. Todos Nacen Gritando heard St. Vincent recreate all 10 songs form her original album, but in Spanish, including songs such as 'Hell Is Near' and 'Big Time Nothing,' which she translated to 'El Infierno Está Cerca' and 'El Mero Cero.' I have had some of my favorite shows of my life in Spanish-speaking countries, and I'm always kind of blown away by the fact that people will sing along with my songs in perfect English, and that it could be their second or third or fourth language,' St. Vincent told Rolling Stone last year. 'I've always loved Spanish and wanted to be better at it, frankly. So this was a double whammy where I could get better at the language that I love and also meet people halfway.' The St. Vincent collaboration follows Laferte's 'Otra Noche de Llorar,' which she dropped in March, and last year's 'Obra de Dios.' She released her album Autopoiética in 2023.

Love Island USA Couple Have Sex in the Villa
Season 7 of Love Island USA is on fire! While many couples are still exploring, one couple has been the exception. Jeremiah Brown and Huda Mustafa became a couple from the jump, and have only been interested in each other. The couple even scored the first date of the season, and they hit up a water park. How romantic! Well, now the duo has taken their relationship even further. While Huda and Jeremiah have encouraged each other to explore, they also don't want anyone else. Viewers have seen the couple shower together. So, maybe the fact that they had sex isn't such a shock. Jeremiah and Huda did the deed during Episode 12, and they were caught on night-vision camera getting busy in the villa. Of course, they are also in a room full of other people, in close proximity. Islander Cierra Ortega found out the details. 'You had sex?' she asked Huda privately. 'Low-key, yeah. I won't give details on when or how, but all I will say is that it did happen,' Huda replied. I'm guessing that when it happened wasn't a mystery to the rest of the Love Island USA cast. However, there could be trouble ahead for the duo. Summer House star Paige DeSorbo hosted the show's next challenge, titled 'Got Wood.' When Jeremy selected Oliandra Carthen's name, he went in for a full kiss. Previously, he gave other contestants a peck on the cheek because of his respect for Huda. 'A challenge is a challenge. I'm not going to go in there and not do nothing because I'm scared,' Jeremiah said in his confessional. 'I'm here to play, I'm here to do the challenge.' The couple previously hit a bumpy patch when Huda revealed that she has a daughter. After overcoming his surprise, Jeremiah seemed cool with Huda's news. Only time will tell if this couple will go the distance. Love Island USA is streaming on Peacock. TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HUDA AND JEREMIAH HAVING SEX IN THE VILLA? WAS IT A MISTAKE?

Love Island USA Season 7 Claims Over 1 Billion Minutes Streamed
is taking over our lives yet another summer, and we can't be mad about it. Season 7 is riding the high of last year's fan-favorite group of Islanders, and they had big shoes to fill. Thankfully, the singles came to Fiji with a mission — make connections and stir up a little drama. From Huda Mustafa and Jeremiah Brown's whirlwind relationship to Ace Greene and Amaya Espinal's frenemy-ship, there's been a lot to take in so far. Apparently, fans are so obsessed with Love Island that we're watching a record-breaking amount of episodes. In a span of less than a week, Love Island USA had 1.2 billion minutes streamed across the nine episodes available, Deadline reports. Luminate looked at streaming minutes from June 6 to 12 to determine the total. It's the second most-watched streaming show on TV. So, fans are obsessing over tuning in to see what tricks Ariana Madix has up her sleeves next. That definitely makes us feel better about our TV watching habits. It's hard to believe that fans have already watched a billion minutes, and the season hasn't even been on for three weeks yet. That means thousands of people have witnessed antics like Taylor Williams bursting out of his straps after being seduced by Olandria Carthen. It's also a whole lot of people who have seen Huda crash out. Yikes. It took Season 6 nearly a month to crack a billion minutes viewed, so Season 7 is off to a strong start. Surely, with the way things are going in the villa these days, it won't take us long to rack up another billion minutes on this season alone. Love Island USA Season 7 is available to stream on Peacock. TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE TUNING INTO LOVE ISLAND SEASON 7? DO YOU PREFER SEASON 6 OR 7 OF THE SHOW SO FAR? The post Love Island USA Season 7 Claims Over 1 Billion Minutes Streamed appeared first on Reality Tea.
