Can you believe it's been 13 years since Double Life first aired?! (13 years, 4 months, 6 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Double Life end?
When Double Life came to an end after 1 year in January 2012, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Angélica Estrada (Anahí), Santiago Ballesteros (Carlos Ponce) and Refugio Urbina de Lagos (Laura León). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Double Life reunion disappoint people?
Double Life aired from 2011-2012 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But León said she's not sure if Double Life would work today. “I don't want to see old Refugio Urbina de Lagos,” she told a journalist (León turned 71 in November). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for a Double Life movie?
In a recent interview, Laura León said she can't imagine a Double Life reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Carlos Ponce has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Double Life movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Double Life film, Anahí stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Double Life reboot?
Recasting Double Life for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Double Life reunion, a Double Life movie, or a Double Life reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
