Development
The series was announced by TelevisaUnivision on 13 January 2022. Filming began in late January 2022. The first teaser of the series was shown on 17 February 2022. On 16 March 2022, Juan Osorio announced that the series was renewed for a second season that will consist of 20 episodes.
Controversy
On 11 March 2022, three days before the series scheduled premiere date, it was announced that a federal judge had ordered for the series to be postponed after the family of Vicente Fernandez alleged that Televisa incurred in violations of non-contractual relationships; trademark rights; improper use of an artistic name reserved before the
National Copyright Institute (Indautor); unfair competition, among other reasons. The following day, TelevisaUnivision alleged that the company had not received any judicial notice prohibiting the series from airing and would continue with airing the series. The series went on to premiere as scheduled.
