La Granja VIP 2: Cast updates and early participant conflict

Overview

Following the confirmation of participants like Carlos Trejo, Ivonne Montero, Kenny Avilés, and Kunno, TV Azteca has continued to expand the roster for the second season of ‘La Granja VIP’. On 18 August 2026, Mexican-Colombian host and fitness influencer Fernando Lozada was announced as the seventh participant. Lozada, who has experience in survival-based reality formats such as ‘La Isla’ and ‘Acapulco Shore’, will temporarily step away from his role on ‘Al Extremo Fin de Semana’ to compete. On 23 and 24 August 2026, Cuban entertainer Niurka Marcos was confirmed as the ninth participant. Her inclusion has drawn attention due to potential friction with fellow contestant Ivonne Montero, following their previous tense interactions on Telemundo’s ‘La Casa de los Famosos’. On 26 August 2026, two additional contestants were revealed during the broadcast of ‘Venga la Alegría’: influencer Daniela Alexis, known as ‘La Bebeshita’, and comedian/voice actress Mónica Escobedo. On 31 August 2026, Mexican actress and content creator Natalia Alcocer, known as ‘La Vikinga’ from ‘Survivor México’, was confirmed as a participant. On 2 September 2026, influencer and reality TV personality Manelyk González officially confirmed her participation.

Following the show’s premiere, early conflicts have emerged among the cast. Azalia Ojeda, a veteran of the Mexican reality scene, has engaged in confrontations and participated in early nominations. Additionally, Niurka Marcos and Manelyk González were involved in a heated verbal exchange that escalated into a shouting match during a greeting.

The upcoming season aims to feature a cast of 20 contestants performing agricultural tasks to avoid elimination. Hosted by Adal Ramones and Kristal Silva, the show is scheduled to premiere on 6 September 2026 at 20:00 hours on Azteca Uno, with 24/7 coverage available via Disney+.
