Can you believe it's been 12 years since Pobres Rico first aired?! (12 years, 7 months, 14 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Pobres Rico end?
When Pobres Rico came to an end after 1 year in January 2013, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Gonzalo Rico (Juan Pablo Raba) and Mariela Siachoque (Paola Rey). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Pobres Rico reunion disappoint people?
Pobres Rico aired from 2012-2013 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 Rey said she's not sure if Pobres Rico would work today. “I don't want to see old Mariela Siachoque,” she told a journalist (Rey turned 45 in December). “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 Pobres Rico movie?
In a recent interview, Juan Pablo Raba said he can't imagine a Pobres Rico 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 Paola Rey 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 Pobres Rico movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
What about a Pobres Rico reboot?
Recasting Pobres Rico 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 Pobres Rico reunion, a Pobres Rico movie, or a Pobres Rico reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
