After the success of Pedro el Escamoso, Más Escamoso que Nunca on Caracol Televisión, and Disney+, the series is returning to the Hispanic market in the U.S., this time through Univision.

Throughout its 23 episodes, Pedro el Escamoso, Más Escamoso que Nunca became the most-watched series in Colombia over the past two years, dominating its time slot and sometimes being the most-watched show of the entire day, surpassing Desafío XX, also from Caracol Televisión, which had been the rating king in that country.

With the strong numbers for Pedro el Escamoso, Más Escamoso que Nunca, which also show that there’s no cannibalization between streaming platforms and broadcast TV, at least in Latin America, it’s expected that Pedro Coral’s adventures will reach various parts of the world.
The first season of Pedro el Escamoso in 2002 was a great success on Telemundo, so it was believed that the continuation would air on the same network. Surprisingly, Univision will be responsible for bringing it to U.S. households on broadcast television.
