The last king: who is who in the bioseries of Vicente Fernández

Against the forecast that questioned whether The Last King: The Son of the People, the Televisa series that portrays the life and trajectory of Vicente Fernández, would air or not after the pronouncement of María del Refugio Abarca, the artist's widow, and the order to suspend the broadcast that a judge would have requested, the first chapter was finally aired.

In this work, Juan Osorio, its producer, assured that the public will be able to learn about aspects of the charro's personal life, his romances, and his fatherly side, since it is based on interviews, testimonies and some unpublished revelations.

With the first installment, we were able to meet the characters of the series based on the text of the same name by the Argentine journalist Olga Wornat, who in recent days launched herself against the claims of the Fernández dynasty defending her participation in the bioseries as an exercise in freedom of expression.

Thus, the audience was able to have a first approach to the characters that appeared in this episode, where the rugged kidnapping of Vicente Fernández Jr. was portrayed. occurred in 1998 and we saw a leap in time to the present time and to the early years of the charro de Huentitán, personified by Pablo Montero, in his middle age.

The singer, too, had already advanced to the public the great admiration and respect he always felt for the late artist, with whom he had a very close relationship from a very young age. Montero was even “invited to eat at the table” of the Fernández, as Cuquita also pointed out in his recent statement.

In the mature age of the charro, the character is played by veteran actor Salvador Sánchez, whom we can see representing in history the “current era” of the singer from rancheras. In this chapter we were able to see him being interviewed by a journalist, in clear allusion to the writer of the book.

It is Angelica Aragon, on her return to Televisa, who gives the character of 'Dalia' a detective air and shows a challenging attitude.

Iván Arana is 'Vicente Fernández Jr. ', about whom in this episode we were able to see recounted the kidnapping he suffered, and in which criminals cut off his finger. It should be noted that a couple of months ago, the son of the charro expressed his dissatisfaction with the production of the Televisa series and assured that no one in his family had any interest in seeing it.

For his part, Emilio Osorio is 'Alejandro Fernández', the famous Colt, whom we have seen at the moment in his youth. At different points in the episode, an allusion was made to an alleged alcoholism of the character: “Go and drown yourself in a bottle, it's the only good thing you know how to do”, says 'Gerardo Fernández' to his brother.

It is the actor Jesús Moré who plays the youngest son of the dynasty, Gerardo Fernández, from whom the public could perceive certain tones of anti-hero. The character is portrayed with a strong character and a somewhat hostile attitude. The real-life Gerardo is not related to show business, as he is an entrepreneur and is immersed in his political career.

Vicente's great love, Cuquita Abarca, who has sent two statements expressing her rejection of the series, is played by Iliana Fox, whom we could see as a selfless woman suffering from the kidnapping of her son.

We were also able to meet 'Manjarrez', played by César Évora, is the policeman in charge of investigating the kidnapping of 'Vicente Jr. '

The newly released bioseries has only 10 episodes in its first season, and it has transpired that the second part of the story is still in production, subject to what may happen legally.
