Before an announced broadcast on the M6 channel, the first episode of the sequel to the series
Un, dos, tres
has already been available on the Salto platform since December 25.
A throwback to the 2000s in the streaming era.
Because it is of course on nostalgia that the production has bet.
To discover
Miss France 2023 is Miss Guadeloupe, Indira Ampiot
Fifteen years have passed since Silvia, played by
Mónica Cruz
, Lola in the guise of
Beatriz Luengo
and Roberto played by
Miguel Angel Munoz
lost sight of each other.
The first took over from Carmen Arranz as head of the school, the second combines her career in showbiz with her family life in Barcelona.
Finally, the heartthrob moved to Miami.
In addition to the first episode of
UPA Next
, renamed in French
Un, dos, tres: new generation
, the platform also uploaded six episodes of a web series called
Historias de UPA
.
Each one lasts between 5 and 8 minutes and summarizes the journey of the future protagonists of
Un, dos, tres: new generation.
Pedro (Pablo Puyol) and Ingrid (Silvia Marty) as well as all known teachers are missing.
Lola Herrera, eternal Carmen Arranz, makes a few appearances.

Roberto is back in Spain to propose to Lola and Silvia to participate in a musical adapted from the group formed during their studies,
UPA Dance
.
Viewers who grew up in the 2000s dreaming of song and dance will be moved when they see the unchanged facade of Madrid's School of Performing Arts.
Just like the photos of the time that decorate the walls.
The trick is crude, but still works.
A double cliffhanger at the end of the episode
The two former students and lovers Roberto and Silvia confront each other from the first minutes of the episode.
School is bad.
The new generation of artists does not have the patience for a long and rigorous education.
Social networks are integrated into the narrative and with it, the illusion of dazzling and easy success.
Roberto then proposes to transform the admission tests into a casting for the musical.
Only the best students will perform on stage.
A beautiful advertisement for the school which is riddled with debts for lack of registration and a tantalizing bait of glory for the candidates.
Lola lets herself be convinced and the trio is reformed.
They meet at the bottom of the emblematic staircase which, we have not forgotten, leads to the dance halls.

Attracting thirtysomethings nostalgic for their teenage series while arousing the interest of a younger audience with new faces in line with the codes of our time, such is the production strategy.
The same ingredients are there.
Like Pedro in his time, Sergio seems to come from afar and arrives late.
He forces the doors of the classroom to try his luck.
The slender Andrea is already under the spell of the rebel Omar.
She offers a number halfway between classical dance and modern dance which is reminiscent of Marta's audition in the first episode of the second season of the original series.
The end of the episode offers a double cliffhanger.
The first on Roberto's real intentions and the second on an event that occurred in Sylvia's apartment.
No specific date has been announced for the broadcast of the next episodes, in Spain or France, except that the sequel will be visible in 2023.
