Telemundo Revives Ana María Polo's ‘Caso Cerrado' With 24/7 FAST Channel Launch
For two decades, Dr. Ana María Polo's gavel echoed through living rooms across the United States and Latin America, as she arbitrated countless court cases. She first stepped into the role of "TV judge" in 2001 on Sala de Parejas, a show initially focused on resolving marital problems between participants. The show later expanded its scope to include anyone with legal disputes, and in 2005, it was rebranded as Caso Cerrado con la Dra. Ana María Polo (Case Closed with Dr. Ana María Polo). Polo's signature, brazen style propelled the show to become one of Telemundo's highest-rated programs, cultivating a legion of devoted fans. However, even Polo's Caso Cerrado eventually reached its own "closed case." The popular show concluded in 2019, following the end of her multi-year contract with Telemundo. Now, Telemundo is reviving the hit Spanish-language courtroom drama with the launch of a 24/7 free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel dedicated to Caso Cerrado. It's a streaming time capsule, offering both longtime fans and new viewers access to over 800 hours of Polo's long-running show. Ana María Polo in a scene from "Caso Cerrado." Telemundo 'Telemundo's Caso Cerrado is one of Hispanic media's most iconic franchises with enduring fandom and new audiences discovering the courtroom drama via viral moments across digital and social platforms. With more than 26 million dedicated fans and nearly 100 million average monthly views on social media, the demand for this iconic series continues to grow,' says Romina Rosado, EVP, Streaming at NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises. Launched just after the show's 24th anniversary, the FAST channel taps into early 2000s nostalgia and offers the opportunity to introduce a new generation to Polo's signature style. Each episode presented dramatic courtroom showdowns, with Dr. Polo presiding over cases that, while inspired by real-life situations, were often dramatized for television. Before her career as a popular TV judge, Polo practiced family law in Miami for 20 years. In 2017, she attempted to cross over into the English-language TV court scene with the syndicated Ana Polo Rules, but the show was canceled after only 15 episodes. The Caso Cerrado FAST channel, set to go live on May 29, 2025, at 9:00 AM ET, is available for free on platforms like Roku, Samsung TV Plus, Prime Video, Fubo, Fire TV, Freevee, Google TV, LG channels, TCL, Comcast, Plex, and Xumo.
