Angélica Rivera's ‘Con Esa Misma Mirada' Season 2 Drops On ViX
L to R: Diego Klein, Angélica Rivera and Iván Sánchez return for season 2 of ViX original "Con Esa ... More Misma Mirada."
Mexico's former first lady and telenovela icon Angélica Rivera is back for the second season of Con Esa Misma Mirada, a modern adaptation of the groundbreaking Mexican telenovela Mirada de Mujer that aired in the late 1990s — itself a remake of the Colombian series Señora Isabel.
The reimagined story, which continues to challenge traditional narratives about women's sexuality and second chances at love, premieres today exclusively on the premium tier of TelevisaUnivision's ViX streaming service.
Rivera stars as Eloísa, the story's main protagonist. The actress, who hadn't starred in a production since 2007's Destilando Amor, chose this ViX original to mark her return to acting after an almost 20-year hiatus. TelevisaUnivision announced her comeback for this streaming series in 2024.
Marking a significant shift in Latin American programming strategy and taking a page from Netflix's playbook, ViX is dropping the entire second season on the same day — just as it did with season one, when it debuted in March this year — allowing subscribers to binge-watch all episodes immediately rather than following the traditional weekly release schedule.
Season two deepens the exploration of Eloísa's journey of self-discovery as she navigates a passionate new romance with Pablo, portrayed by Diego Klein (Loco por ella, Vuelve a mí), while dealing with the lingering effects of her relationship with Octavio, played by Iván Sánchez (Culpa Tuya, Bosé) — to whom she still feels connected.
L to R: Sofia Castro and Angélica Rivera, real-life mother and daughter in a scene from "Con Esa ... More Misma Mirada."
Meanwhile, Octavio, feeling hurt and humiliated by Eloísa, decides to start a new life with Gabriela (Pamela Almanza). But as in all love triangles, doubts persist. Despite her happiness with Octavio, Gabriela finds herself overwhelmed by his obsession with blaming Eloísa for the family's problems, including Antonia's (Sofía Castro) unexpected pregnancy, the family's struggle with Matilde's (Ivanna Castro) eating disorder, and the consequences of Samuel's (Nicolás Haza) fling with Renata (Ximena Herrera).
The season 2 cast features legendary Mexican actress Blanca Guerra (La Rebelión, Alma de hierro) and includes Ximena Herrera, , Fernanda Borches, Iliana Fox, Juan Ríos Cantú, Adriana Llabrés, Gonzalo Vega, Adriana Romero, Adolfo de la Fuente, Lupita Ortiz, Mateo Ortega Casillas, Fernanda Hernández and Andrea Aldana.
A telenovela's evolution: adapting to the times
The narrative tackles contemporary issues around family judgment, societal expectations, and the courage required to prioritize personal happiness over public opinion, weaving together multiple generational storylines.
Mirada de Mujer, which aired on TV Azteca from 1997-1998, became a cultural phenomenon for its revolutionary portrayal of a woman finding love with a younger man after being abandoned by her husband. The show sparked national conversations about women's age, sexuality and gender roles that challenged traditional norms, inspiring international adaptations including Telemundo's 2007 version Victoria starring Victoria Ruffo.
ViX's adaptation aims to capture that same cultural relevance for streaming audiences who expect more condensed storytelling than the traditional 200+ episode telenovela format. The binge-release strategy signals the platform's efforts to compete with global streaming giants by adopting viewer-friendly distribution models that cater to modern consumption habits.
Produced by Argos for ViX, the series features two of the original writers, Jimena Romero and Gilma Peña, alongside Camila Ibarra. Alba Gil and Pitipol Ybarra direct, stepping in after the untimely passing of renowned film and television director Moisés Ortiz Urquidi in June. Executive producers include Epigmenio Ibarra and Verónica Velasco, with Patricia Benítez serving as executive producer and Fides Velasco also contributing to the production.
All episodes of season two are now available exclusively to ViX premium subscribers.

A New Threads Feature Saves You From Seeing and Posting Spoilers: Here's How It Works
Social media can accidentally spoil a streaming movie or show for those who haven't yet watched it. Threads, the popular social media platform from Meta, now has a new feature that could save you from spoiling your next watch. The new feature allows users to mark media and text posts as spoilers. If it's a photo, the spoiler will then appear blurred in feeds, and text will be grayed out. Clicking on both types makes the spoiler visible. Netflix and Marvel are the first major studios to use the feature on their posts. Meta says the feature is rolling out globally, but we saw it available on Friday. Speaking of spoilers, you may want to stop reading now if you're not logged in to Threads, the embedded plot-spoiling posts in this story may not be blurred. Netflix posted a photo from one of the last scenes of Squid Game's third and final season, with the caption "do not tap until you've finished Squid Game 3." Marvel teased the villain in the new Ironheart series in a post. You won't meet the villain until the last episode. You can stream Ironheart on Disney Plus. We Were Liars on Prime also added a post that uses the new Threads spoiler text feature. We've seen several other updates from Threads this year, including the ability to copy images, thus replacing the need to screenshot. Threads also only recently started testing direct messaging, despite the app being out for around two years. How to use the spoiler feature on Threads Anyone can use the spoiler feature on their posts. All you have to do is highlight what you want to hide, tap and select "mark spoiler." That will blur the text or image you selected for others. This feature doesn't mean you won't see posts about your favorite pop culture and entertainment topics. It lets you choose when you're ready to know more. All it takes is a tap. However, it's worth pointing out that it's up to those who make the post to decide if they mark something as a spoiler. So spoilers could abound until most people adopt the feature. Even still, it's good to see a feature that allows you to stay in the loop without spoiling major plot points along the way.
