‘El Señor de los Cielos’ will return with its ninth season on Tuesday, February 13, 2024. The series, starring Rafael Amaya as Aurelio Casillas, will premiere on Telemundo at 10 PM. However, you can also live stream it on Fubo (which offers a seven-day free trial in the US). It will be available on demand on Peacock the following day.
According to the first teaser, in the ninth season, Aurelio Casillas will unleash his inner beast. He’s back, ready to do whatever it takes to avenge his family. After the arrest of his son, Ismael, the drug lord will unleash a brutal wave of violence across the country, but he will have to face new enemies.
The ninth season, which was announced back in May 2023, will also feature the participation of Itatí Cantoral, Arturo Peniche, Julio Bracho, and even Aleida Núñez, in the role of Nina “La Monarca.” Here’s what we know about the new episodes.
‘El Señor de los Cielos’ goes back to its roots
The telenovela, inspired by the real life Amado Carrillo Fuentes, the former leader of the Juarez Cartel, is one of Telemundo’s most successful programs of all time. And the network knows exactly why.
“As the saga continues, fans will be excited to experience what they have been asking for – a return to Aurelio’s raw and ruthless nature that made ‘El Señor’ a hit in Spanish-language television,” said Ronald Day, President of Entertainment and Content Strategy at Telemundo, according to HOLA! Américas.
The catalyst for Aurelio’s rage is the arrest of his son Ismael (Iván Arana), which will make him start a brutal onslaught of violence across the country. Amaya told HOLA! Américas that he “realized that there was a need to return with a more aggressive character, more overwhelmed at times, more raw.”
