Hello and welcome back to Miguel Bernardeau Web! I would like to thank Mouza for letting me continue this site. I’ve been a fan of Miguel since Elite and I’m excited to be running a site dedicated to him. I have been working on relaunching this site for the last few months, but I couldn’t make it in time to re-open it before his two new shows premiered. So I thought it would be fitting to do it on his birthday. On that note, Feliz cumpleaños to Miguel! Have an amazing day with your loved ones.

The site is back with a whole new look, which is inspired by one of Miguel’s new shows, 1899. I hope you all love it as much as I do! Speaking of, the gallery has been updated with some promotional photos and high-resolution screencaps of Miguel from the first season of 1899! If you haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend it. I have also added photos of Miguel attending events from the last two years. Thanks to my friend Emily for all the help!

I’ll be working on completing the gallery over the next few weeks, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these new additions. You can follow us on Twitter at @mbernardeaucom and Instagram at @miguelbernardeauweb to keep up with our updates!

Spanish drama Elite has been renewed for a fifth season at Netflix, and the YA boarding school series has added Argentinan actress Valentina Zenere (Soy Luna) and Brazilan actor André Lamoglia (Juacas) to its cast.

The renewal comes before Season 4 has even premiered on Netflix. Elite, which was created and written by Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona, is one of the streamer’s best performing Spanish originals, with Netflix noting in 2019 that it had been seen by more than 20 million households.

Described as “effervescent, uninhibited and sensual,” the soapy teen series follows the intrigue at Las Encinas, an exclusive boarding school in Spain. It is made by Zeta Audiovisual, which has offices in Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville.

Itzan Escamilla, Miguel Bernardeau, Arón Piper, Omar Ayuso, Claudia Salas and Georgina Amorós will appear in Season 4, while new cast includes Andrés Velencoso, Manu Rios, Carla Díaz, Martina Cariddi, Pol Granch, and Diego Martín. [Source]

Narcos producer Gaumont is teaming with producer Grupo Ganga on its first Spanish co-production – a dark surf drama starring Élite’s Miguel Bernardeau.

The company is developing the project, which will be shot on location in the Canary Islands, as an eight-part one-hour drama.

The scripted series, which is being spearheaded by Spanish filmmaker Susana Casares, co-exec producer of Netflix’s Luis Miguel, is a YA drama set in a fishing village on the Spanish island of Lanzarote.

Playa Negra follows newcomer Hugo, played Bernardeau, in his quest to get close to the man he suspects is his father. In the process, he befriends a tight-knit group of teens who dream of making it big in Lanzarote’s competitive surfing scene, and together become unwittingly embroiled in the island’s darkest secrets.

Gaumont’s SVP, Creative Executive, Head of Latin American and Spain Christian Gabela said the show combines a coming-of-age theme with elements of suspense.

“Alongside Susana and Grupo Ganga, we have created a concept that young adult audiences everywhere will identify with as they immerse themselves in not only the beauty of the location and the thrill of the sport but also the complexities facing the characters throughout series,” he added.

Grupo Ganga is best known for producing long-running Spanish drama Remember When (Cuéntame) for TVE.

Grupo Ganga’s CEO Miguel Ángel Bernardeau said, “Playa Negra has all the ingredients to leave a deep impression on an international audience. Lanzarote, an island that we call home, is the most beautiful of all settings, with the power of its waves and volcanic landscape as a source of inspiration. We are creating an unforgettable gallery of characters, in plots where mystery and passion run hand in hand.” [Source]

Miguel was featured in the November issue of GQ España with a beautiful black & white shoot. Head to the gallery for the digital scans of the issue and the photoshoot.

 

I’ve updated the gallery with screencaptures of Miguel in season 2 of Elite. The show was renewed for a third season coming hopefully in 2020.
