La Promessa adds new head butler and engine storyline in May 2026 episodes

Two consecutive episodes of the Spanish soap opera La Promessa aired on Italy’s Rete 4 in late May 2026. The May 24 episode introduced Don Cristóbal as the new head butler at the Luján estate, sparking shock and resentment among the household staff, especially Ricardo, who feels overlooked after the previous butler Romulo’s departure. A surprise visitor later offers Ricardo a possible morale boost.

The May 23 episode focused on a different subplot: Tono invites Enora to observe the construction of an aeronautical engine while Manuel is absent, and Angela faces pressure from her mother and Lorenzo to apologize to the Marquis de Andújar to protect a vital business deal. Both episodes continue the series' ongoing themes of family intrigue, secret identities, and power struggles within the household.
