Controversy[edit]

On 11 March 2022, three days before the series scheduled premiere date, it was announced that a federal judge had ordered for the series to be postponed after the family of Vicente Fernandez alleged that Televisa incurred in violations of non-contractual relationships; trademark rights; improper use of an artistic name reserved before the National Copyright Institute (Indautor); unfair competition, among other reasons.[21][22][23] The following day, TelevisaUnivision alleged that the company had not received any judicial notice prohibiting the series from airing and would continue with airing the series.[24][25] The series went on to premiere as scheduled.[26]
