OMG are you serious?! How long does it take to film 12 less than 60 minute episodes! *sigh* As much as I love Lito (and his relationship with Hernando and Daniella), I would be willing to give up his screentime for more Alberto. I mean, I don't think I can take more Velvet episodes without him. I'm already dreading the wait. We probably won't see his return until like the last episode. I'm hoping they'll just halt production because even if they decide to postpone a premiere date for that to work, I'd be more than willing to wait for season 4 if that means we'd get more Alberto in the end. If only MAS could be at two places at once? haha It sucks because you can tell he cares about both shows and probably hates the fact that he can't be in both. Thanks for posting those bts pics!

Just checked out MAS Instagram. He put up a post 2 days ago saying "last day filming" with a specific person who made him some sweater.. He's also put up a couple of pics of himself and PE saying pronto..? Maybe he's finished with Sens8 for now?

I think part of the problem is that according to that interview they're committed to spending two weeks in each location, and they're going all over the globe.
The worst case scenario for Velvet would be that the whole season goes by with minimal Alberto (I'm thinking maybe a couple of drop-in scenes) until the finale. If this is the last season, as it well might be, it'd be really unsatisfying if he's barely in it.
Hopefully the Velvet producers/writers have some sort of plan to avoid a scenario like that from playing out.

He's also put up a couple of pics of himself and PE saying pronto..? Maybe he's finished with Sens8 for now? I don't think he's finished yet...one of the Sense8 actors posted a video of MAS on Twitter saying they were filming in Malibu yesterday. The problem, also, with the "pronto" post is that he's done posts like that before all during these last few months...he'll put up a picture from Velvet and say "pronto/soon" with a little film camera, but he's continued to film Sense8. So I think the posts aren't necessarily to announce he'll be filming Velvet soon, but just to assure his Velvet fans that he will eventually go back to Madrid for filming.

Oh, I agree, but that's worst case. There's still the possibility that they are filming episodes out of order (just saving all of MAS's scenes until he can come film them) or that production will be halted in June/July, rather than over, which would leave the back half of the season for MAS to appear.
Velvet's filming schedule has always been weird. It may be that they're prepared for whatever's going to happen with MAS's schedule.

^I really hope it's the latter. I want them to have this figured out so we can get as much Alberto as possible especially considering this could very well be the last. I would've even been happy with them splitting up this season so we could get more Alberto before this show finishes for good. It's just so depressing thinking about more episodes without him.

When I was looking for articles the other day I found an old(er) PE interview where she specifically mentioned hoping that Velvet got to five seasons. I can't remember if we've talked about that quote before, but that idea is sounding better and better if MAS is barely going to be around in S4 (which seems like a possibility). Then we wouldn't have to worry about them rushing through Alberto's homecoming in S4...there'd be the promise of a final season to come where they could explore where all the characters end up.
Of course, the ratings would need to be good enough to justify a S5, so I don't know that the writers would want to count on that too strongly...meaning they may decide to just rush through it in S4 just in case they don't get a S5.

I think I remember you mentioning that before. I would love for that to be the case that way we all know because it's always worse when nobody knows if it'll be the last or not. But yeah ratings are going to play a huge role in that. i just hope people in Spain will bear it out with no Alberto for the time being and continue to watch until he does return.

Okay, wow, initially I thought when I went to look for filming stuff that there wouldn't be anything much, but it turns out I was wrong. The biggest news: It looks like MAS was back in Madrid today...he was photographed there at an event... go to this link and scroll and you'll soon see him posing for pictures. This is the picture he posted on his account. http://instagr.am/p/BF4tMBCIINZ We'll have to see if he posts any pics about Velvet filming tomorrow or if he just flew in for this particular event. Fingers crossed! And MV (Cristina) posted this today as well: http://instagr.am/p/BF3FKLHkMcS Next...Getty finally put up more filming pictures. It appears to be a fancy event featuring FT (Marco), Marco's father (I can't remember the initials for the actor), and PE. FT is clearly in a tux, but while PE is in hair and make-up, her dress is covered by a robe. This is the link. There's also this brief video from a view days ago...MG in wig and costume, along with DM (Enrique). You can also see AE (Raul) and AL (Pedro) in makeup chairs elsewhere in the room: http://instagr.am/p/BFok13MBQlF And, finally, this appears to be the original source of the image I posted in the other thread of Ana, Carlos, and Alberto, Jr. -- there's also another shot of them hugging the boy, and you can see a little bit of Patricia and Valentin in the bottom right corner. http://instagr.am/p/BF1b4q6PzMk

Not much in the way of filming pics on the cast Instagram accounts, though PV did post this one...looks like Cristina and Carlos are hanging out? http://instagram.com/p/BF4ibNsS5Tu

MiZona posted this article with more clarification on MAS return to filming Velvet (thanks to northboundtrain for finding the article) Basically what it says is that he's gotten a break from sense8 to go to Madrid to film Velvet. The press asked him about when he'll return to velvet in which his response was that he doesn't have specific dates but in about three weeks. He mentions how they've written a very nice plot and Ana and Alberto are going to have a lot to say, but not all of it will be with words. He mentions he misses his costars and if he knew the fans of the show he'd miss them too. He also hopes the show has a sweet ending. My translation may be off, but I'm pretty sure he says he will be returning to film Velvet in three weeks.

Thank you VV for the translation!
I'm so glad that we'll be seeing him on set soon.

Okay, so, the still photographer took this picture of PE filming with a small child. Picture is out of focus and while my first thought was that it had to be little Alberto, it looks like the child has long hair in a braid or ponytail. So...Rita's child? http://instagr.am/p/BGEZ9f-OL6b Next, we've got Enrique dressed for a hunt. Notice that he's still got the scratches on his face from one of the previous shooting days (where the makeup artist was having to apply the fake scratches). Must be a pretty prominent plot point if it still needs to be obvious days later that he's got those scratches. http://instagr.am/p/BGBj9p_Fo2n Wherever they're shooting, it's an estate with a pool and woods...DM (Enrique) also posted these pictures: http://instagr.am/p/BGBcpxdFo6Q http://instagr.am/p/BGBdxqolo8M My wild guess is that this could potentially be the Otegui estate (which Enrique likely would have inherited after Gerardo passed away). MV (Cristina) behind the scenes: http://instagr.am/p/BGEvB7HkMSY ASG (Blanca) poses with the hair and makeup team: http://instagr.am/p/BGEHeCJFmd7
