Don Francisco, the longtime host of ‘Sábado Gigante’, is set to return to Univision with a new special programming series titled ‘Gigantes con Don Francisco’. Scheduled to premiere in October, the project will consist of special programs rather than a weekly series.

The format will feature interviews with influential Latin personalities, focusing on their careers and personal lives through a mix of nostalgia, music, and emotional reunions. The program is intended to recapture the family-oriented entertainment style of his previous work. 

In addition to interviews, the show will include a house band and prizes such as cash and a car. Episodes are expected to be available on the streaming platform ViX the day after their broadcast debut on Univision.
