But the irony is no one will every remember Sense8 after the 2nd season is cancel, but viewer will always remember the first 2 seasons of Velvet. I hope his manager will have better judgement next time. Bambu producers encouraged him to take that opportunity, for any actor from the rest of the world to be able to work in the States is huge, professionally is a huge step at all levels. And Velvet is a niche product in USA? i mean, spanish show with english subtitles in the huge USA market can't be that big. MAS acknowledged that many americans stopped him (in the street) because they recognized him as Alberto and not his sense8 character though, something that surprised him.

Because Sense8 is crap and Hollywood is known to produce crap, with the amount of money they spend for production. And Sense8 subsequent season is cancelled. When u see all the other great shows In the US I m sure MAS will not have problem finding roles to play instead of Sense8. Lots non Spanish speaking people love "Velvet " the story is not new but is refreshing and he an excellent actor.

Velvet is the kind of story that the writers can always go back to and make another season if they wanted to so fans lets keep hope alive that after they cancelled sense 8 they will make another season of velvet by the way I liked sense8 the story's are very interesting he was great 👍 in it and I am not 😡 at mas has a actor you have to take different roles and make tuff decisions some decisions will be the right ones and some not so good that is life no regrets you just move on to the next thing. Thanks 🙏🏿 alfi for the translation 😍

Well, for both Banderas and Bardem it was a gay role in american movies which allowed them to take that professional step. The accent is always a problem (did Bardem use an american accent in "no country of old man?"), and there are many "latinos" who play "latinos" much better than spaniards, although it's true that Hollywood doesn't care to be faithful to reality most of the times. So the number of roles that a spanish actor can aspire to get are not that big. The willingness to play a gay role and how much american ladies like him may give him a new opportunity if Sense8 fails in its second season.

When u see all the other great shows In the US I m sure MAS will not have problem finding roles to play instead of Sense8. Lots non Spanish speaking people love "Velvet " the story is not new but is refreshing and he an excellent actor. I didn't personally care for Sense8 but I know many people who loved the show. I agree that MAS is an excellent actor who has done a fabulous job in both Velvet and Sense8. If Sense8 is cancelled I don't have any doubt in my mind that other opportunities are waiting for them. Primusoars, there are many good producers in the US who have produced some great movies and series. It's hit or miss as with many producers in various countries. I think the writers and the actors chosen for various roles is key to the success if movies and series. It also depends on the type of movies individuals are drawn to. If you find a good movie or series that you enjoy produced in the US, watch other movies by that producers. Velvet recommend movies based on other movies you watched which is how I stumbled upon Velvet. I do not speak Spanish and have never been a big fan of watching movies with close caption. I started watch Velvet and thought oh man this is close caption but the first scene captured my attention so I kept watching and could not stop until I finished the series which left me wanting more. I looked for other movies by the same writers and producers and watched the GH with the same results, I loved it. I'm not surprised that the fans in the US recognized MAS as Alberto and that I thank Netflix for bringing Velvet to the U.S. There are many Velvet fans in the US., have co-workers, friends and family in Various states who watch Velvet. Alfi, I think it's great that Bambu production encouraged MAS to take the role in Sense8, that shows that they care about their actors and are not only thinking about themselves. It is also a good business move. Many countries collaborate together to produce great shoes. If a show does well in one country and has a long run, they will sometimes bring the show over to the US and vice-a-versa which has been proven to be a success in both countries. The BBC and the US have done this with some success. I want to see MAS succeed in his career because he is very talented and should take advantage of his talent. Yes I as well as many fans would like to keep MAS on Velvet but it's not fair to him. I also compare MAS to Antonio Bandares another of my favorite actors whom have stated in many great movies in the US. My husband is a huge fan of Quintin Taraintino. He was watching a movie with Antonio Banderes "Desperado" bit my type of movie but I watched it with him and fell in love with Selma Hyack and AB. My husband recommended the "Mambo Kings" staring Antonio Banderes because I like romance movies. Well, this was a tragic love story but I did enjoy the movie, which is when I started watching AB movies. I saw AB on a talk show, he said the Mambo Kings was his first U.S English speaking roles. He also said when he did this role he spoke no English. Judging from the great job he did in this role, you would never have known he spoke no English. He also sang a beautiful song called "Maria of My Soul" beautiful song. This his first U.S. English speaking role was nominated for an Acadamy Award which is big in the U.S. I see MAS career taking off just as well. I wish him well on his journy to fame. He will be big in the U.S. Christine, if we can get another season of Velvet, I will take it. I am definitely going to be watching.

www.antena3.com/series/velvet/entrevistas/concha-velasco_2016092257e4fcba0cf2c80b27bb860a.htmlConcha Velasco: "I'm a Velvet fan from the beginning" The actress, who joins the last season of Velvet playing Petra, tell us how she asked to work in the series because "i'm a fan from the beginning, because Sacristán (Emilio) and my niece Manuela (Cristina). About the series she says that it's something very original and that "they will have to do another season". Q. How was it joining a series like Velvet? CV. Look, i asked to work in Velvet, i'm a velvet fan, from the start of the series, because many reasons, first because it is a wonderful series and then because Pepe (common nickname for Jose) Sacristan works in it, too, my niece Manuela Velasco, and i wanted to work with her. So speaking with Teresa, i told her: "why don't you give me a part in Velvel, i don't know, a Don Emilio's old girlfriend who is coming back", so (Teresa supposedly answers) :"Doña Aurorita sister, very well". Then we invented she wanted to be an artist and she have gone to Argentine, to triumph as an actress, but she didn't make it. She comes back because her sister is sick, but she comes back "defeated". Very made-up", very dressed-up, very hair-styled, very "with furs"... so she may win Don Emilio over, but don Emilio is with Doña Blanca, and the poor (Petra) has nothing to do. ( So the show will really try to pair them up? Petra is only the trigger) Q. How does it means for you to work with your niece, Manuela Velasco? CV. It was very beautiful, it was a scene in the elevator, and i got excited to work with her, but because her character, as you know, is a bit deranged (she laughs, very cute), she (Manuela) had to dissimulate how excited she was because of working with her aunt, because her character is tremendous, very difficult, since the beginning of this series she has been the antagonist of the protagonist, of Paula Echevarría, who is the big "prota" (slang for protagonist), beautiful, great actress, and the character of the poor Cristina, well, she ends being a bit "the villain of the film" Q. How do you see from the inside this new season of Velvet? CV. It's spectacular, the screenwriters of Velvet are wonderful, you don't know how many things happen, and i can't tell you about, but i'm wishing Velvet coming back to Antena 3, that my moment comes, a short moment, but i think it went so well that i don't know if they are going to extend it ( this interview may be when they started shooting the fourth season). Broadly, this last series (season) that viewers are going to watch in no time at all, is, startling. ( she is very emphatic) Q. What does it means for you to work in a series like Velvet? CV. This is an honour, immense, and a caprice. They are not accustomed that an actress is so sincere like me? who admires a series, who admire her colleagues and that she asks for work in a small part, in a series so important. Q. Some actors and new parts joins (Velvet), do you share any scene with them? CV. The heir of the galleries, this italian, wonderful, i shoot with a scene the other day, so, stupendous. But i love Mateo, to me, Mateo, who Petra calls all the time "chico guapo" (handsome guy), this boy so handsome, the character, is marvellous, and i have loved a lot to work with Ana, with Paula Echevarria, i have loved to work with Aitana Sanchez-Gijon, who is a marvellous actress, who i love and admire a lot. Q. What does Velvet means for you? CV. Velvet has been for all the viewers who have follow from the beginning, something, how i would tell you... very original, like Gran Hotel was, GH supposed... a "before" and an "after", for the spanish fiction and Velvet too. The music, for example, that they look like songs we knew from forever, and they are made especially for Velvet ( some of them? many adaptations also), i love it, the wardrobe, the decoration , i think that, well, as a viewer i'm a fan, and to work at last in this last season, that we don't know if it was going to be the last one or not (this interview definitely at the start of the shooting process?), because i think it's so wonderful that i don't know what they are going to do, i think they will have to make another one.

He will be big in the U.S. I didn't watch "Mambo kings", i thought it was a minor character and Philadelphia the main "ticket" into the american market. Penelope Cruz also didn't speak one word of english, something the director didn't know until they started shooting, it must be a spaniard thing, haha.

The designer Ana Ribera comes back to Velvet Galleries transformed into a famous designer. In "Ecos de Sociedad" we have wanted to know how she feels after becoming a star and if Carlos is the man of her life. ( It's like a interview for a tv program by Ecos de Sociedad.) Q. How are you? A. Very well, looking forward to come back. Q. After your successful tour in Europe, how is your return to Velvet Galleries? A. Mad to look again my son, i miss him a lot, and i also was willing to recover my life, to return to the workshop, which is the place i like to be, and to start a new course, i come with a new proposal, Pret-a-porter. Q. After miss Cristina Otegui was hospitalized because a nervous breakdown, we have known she is back in the galleries, have you met each other? how is your relationship actually? A. We have seen each other, and we have cordially greeted, but i think we won't have to see each other often in the galleries, we are in different wings, and Cristina is (mumbling, damn sound effect) masculine line ( she will work with Raul then, in the men section, that's why she spoke about Humberto in the trailer of the 4th season), and i will be centred in Pret-a-porter. Q. We know thanks to our sources that your heart is taken, is he the man of your life? A. Well, it's true i have spent some years in a relationship with Carlos, but, you never know, if a relationship is forever or not, the only i can tell you that right now the love of my life in my son, Alberto. Q. Well, now that you mention it, let's speak about your son, allow me to tell you that you are a woman advanced to your time, deciding, well, raising him alone, will we know Miss Rivera the true identity of the father? A. Well, if you excuse me, that's a private matter, and i, here, can talk about my fashion ( her designs), my private life i would prefer to preserve it. ( hmm but he is named Alberto Marquez... weird) Q. I din't want to disturb you, but understand that our ( female) readers, well, you know about that. Let's speak about fashion then, we know you ( plural) have a new project in the Velvet Galleries, you spoke about Pret-a-porter, which is this about? tell us. A. Well, it's my dream, where i have placed all my energy, and it's for accomplishing that even the most humble people can dress with clothes... modern, of current style, Velvet galleries was a pioneer in the haute couture, and i would like that now it becomes a pioneer in the Pret-a-Porter. Q. I'm sure that headline would be well received by our ( female) readers, and at last, because i don't want to steal more of your time, if you would have to design a perfect dress for a perfect date, which one would it be? A. A perfect dress for an especial event, i think i will choose a dress ... type ( not clue what she says, gotzi?), largo midi (skirt?), with bateau neckline... i think is very feminine and elegant, for any especial event it would work very well.

In the first chapter of the season, Wednesday at 22:30, the 60s arrive to "Galerias Velvet". Five years have passed since the goodbye of Alberto, and Velvet has changed a lot since then. Ana is the mother of a kid, Alberto, who is the centre of her existence, and the joy of her uncle Don Emilio, who is like a grandfather. The Infantes matrimony has increased the family ( number of members), Clara is not madly in love with Mateo anymore, who has become the man of the moment. We tell you everything in the image gallery. Ana is now a succesful designer who travels from around the world presenting her designs. From her last travel she comes back with an obsession, to revolutionize Velvet. Because the fashion world is not what it used to be, the 60s have arrived and with them the Pret-a-porter. But Marco Caffiero thinks only in numbers and he thinks that the idea of "equalize" certain exclusive ( female) clients with others of low class will ruin the Velvet brand. Ana resorts to Mateo to help her with a viable business plan that Marco accepts ( as good). Mateo left the Galeries when Clara and he separated and the tensions between them became unsustainable. Out of Velvet, Mateo became a business superman and Clara started a romance in secret with Marco Caffiero. Pedro and Rita are now parents of two twins who made their life impossible. They are full of responsibilities and expenses. Who is also back is Cristina, recovered and with a daughter, who the little Alberto will befriend in no time. Cristina insists in that she has changed and she is prepared to prove it to Ana. By last, Raul de la Riva is in luck, his masculine line works perfectly; so much that he has to look for a new tailor because the orders keep growing. And not only that, Patricia has had a great idea: the famous actor and leading man Humberto Santamaria will be the image of his new line for men. It's a dream coming true. Or maybe a nightmare?

Yes, thank you Alfi for all the translations, we really do appreciate it.😘 Very informative and answered many questions I had. Also, I did not know Concha Velasco was Christina's aunt. Talent runs in the family, both great actresses.

If you got Antenna 3 international you may not be able to watch Velvet in the USA? www.antena3internacional.com/programacion/ no Velvet there... then you will have to wait to VV to upload the subbed chapter, sorry. Edit. Or looking for another sources...

Hey everyone, thanks so much alfi for the translations!
Since we are now nearing premiere time, I'm going to be closing this thread so if we can please move all speculations to the season 4 speculation thread that'd be great. And for those of you who are going to watch the premiere tomorrow and would like to discuss the episodes please talk about it ONLY in the particular episode discussion thread so as to not spoil anything for everyone else.
