The popular Disney+ series "Soy Luna" is set to make a comeback with a new season, picking up a decade after its original run. The upcoming installment, titled "Soy Luna: Volver a rodar," will center on the theme of love, aiming to resonate with a young adult audience. While not explicitly addressing topics like the #MeToo movement or the growing presence of the LGBTQ+ community, creator Martín Saban stated that the 12-episode season will deliver a positive message, emphasizing values such as friendship and the power of love to "save the world."

It has been some time (for the characters) and the series is for young adults, it is not planned as a theme (#MeToo, for example), but it is a story that conveys positive values of friendship, with existential things and where love is the most important thing and the message that it will save the world.

The first teaser for "Soy Luna: Volver a rodar" has already been released, showing protagonist Luna Valente, portrayed by Karol Sevilla, on an ice-skating rink, experiencing both triumphs and an accident. The series is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on July 24. Saban, who also created "Violetta," explained that the revival was a direct response to persistent requests from fans worldwide, including those from distant countries like Russia.

The original "Soy Luna" series first aired in 2016, with its third and final season concluding in 2018, amassing a total of 220 episodes. The initial storyline followed Luna Valente, a Mexican teenager living in Cancún, who relocates to Argentina with her parents and must adapt to a new life. This new season saw the production team filming in Mérida, a city in Mexico's Yucatán state.

The fans wanted to know what was going to happen with the characters, they stopped us in places we didn't imagine. Now we are aware that we are talking to audiences of different ages, there are those who started it all, but there are also kids who have been joining.

Sevilla, reprising her role, shared a video on Instagram encouraging fans to embrace the new journey and let go of the past. Producers noted the significant fan engagement, with fans approaching them in unexpected places to express their desire for more "Soy Luna." They are now aware of catering to a diverse audience, including the original fans and newer viewers who have joined over time. The production team is committed to delivering a story that upholds positive values, acknowledging the show's broad appeal across different age groups.
