La Sexta prepares new television season with programming shifts

Spanish television Aruseros La Sexta programming season audience ratings

Spanish television networks are preparing for the upcoming 2026-2027 season, with major shifts in programming and personnel. La Sexta is launching a strategic counterattack to reclaim its leadership from Cuatro. Key moves for the network include the return of the humor-news show ‘Aruseros’ on August 24, led by Alfonso Arús. The program has notably recruited journalist Elena Godessart from TVE’s ‘Directo al grano’.

La Sexta’s broader strategy involves a mix of investigative journalism and new entertainment formats, such as the contest ‘Congelados’ hosted by Àngel Llàcery. Other returning staples include ‘Pesadilla en la cocina’ with Alberto Chicote and ‘Cara al show’ with Marc Giró.

Across the national landscape, Antena 3 aims to maintain its five-season leadership streak through established brands like ‘El Hormiguero’. Meanwhile, the industry faces new competition from the upcoming channel ‘La Séptima’, which is expected to begin broadcasting on November 5.
