Echo is one of the most highly-anticipated TV shows from Marvel this year and follows Maya Lopez (a.k.a.

The show picks up after the events of the 2021 show Hawkeye and will see Lopez being pursued by the Tracksuit Mafia and escaping to her hometown in Oklahoma. There, she is forced to come to terms with her past, reconnect with her Native roots, and embrace her family, identity, and community.

In season two, it’s revealed that the sinkholes were created by people from the future to get their hands on resources and solve de-extinction. The third season premiering this year will also be its last and feature the characters facing a new threat from the sinkhole, which is bringing new things from across time into the present including dinosaurs. Some Latinx talent we can expect to see in the supporting cast is Afro-Puerto Rican actress Lily Santiago; Veronica St. Clair, who is of Cuban and Filipino descent; Nicholas Edward Gonzalez, who is of Mexican descent; Puerto Rican actor Jon Seda; and Tonantzin Carmelo, who is of Indigenous and Latina descent.

When she tries to propose her idea on live TV, she recruits the help of “Radio Demon” Alastor, though his intentions are more sinister than she knows.

Lopez vs Lopez premiered in 2022 starring father-daughter duo George and Mayan Lopez playing scripted versions of themselves. Salvadoran-Jewish writer Debby Wolfe is creator, writer, showrunner, and executive producer of the series which she pitched after seeing Mayan’s TikToks with her divorced parents during the pandemic. The show follows George as he reunites with his daughter and ex-wife after years of estrangement, moving in with Mayan and her husband and young son. Coming from different generations, the pair butt heads a lot throughout the series, causing a lot of drama, but ultimately, there is clearly a lot of love and laughter between everyone in the family. Throughout its run, the series has also guest-starred veterans of the beloved George Lopez show including Constance Marie, Valente Rodriguez, Belita Moreno, and Luis Armand Garcia.

Betty La Fea on Prime Video

Premiere Date: Sometime in 2024

Twenty three years after the finale aired, Yo Soy Betty, La Fea (1999 – 2001) is returning for a sequel series this year, titled Betty La Fea.

Over the years, it has become one of the most successful telenovelas of all time, inspiring more than 20 remakes across the world including the U.S. version Ugly Betty starring America Ferrera. This sequel to the original picks up 20 years after the finale where we see Betty as a successful woman, mother to a teen daughter, and wife to Armando. But it’s clear that between her tense relationship with her daughter and her struggling company, she’s worried that she may have chosen the wrong path in her life and nothing now is what she thought it would be.
