Alarms go off over María Verdoy and Antonio Santana: What happened is shocking

The hosts of 'Socialité' have learned about the firm decision that the network has made regarding their show

An unexpected piece of news has shaken Telecinco's programming and left followers of María Verdoy and Antonio Santana on edge. The network has made a strong and decisive decision that directly affects the show they host every weekend: Socialité. What's most surprising is that there's no turning back.

Telecinco cancels Socialité and leaves María Verdoy and Antonio Santana unemployed

El Televisero is the outlet that has exclusively reported that Telecinco has decided to cancel the show Socialité. This show, dedicated to celebrity news, had been on air since 2017. Its definitive end is set for July 27, the day its final episode will air.

At this time, María Verdoy shared hosting duties with Antonio Santana, providing the latest updates from the world of celebrity news every Saturday and Sunday. Both hosts had enthusiastically adapted to the show, opting for a fresh and approachable style. However, neither their charisma nor the internal changes made to the team have been enough to stop the decline in viewership that the show had been experiencing in recent times.

In fact, the change in leadership with Raúl Ortiz at the helm of the show also failed to boost the ratings. The competition has been tough, especially with D Corazón on La 1, which has repeatedly outperformed in viewership. This battle for the audience's attention has been decisive for Mediaset to make a clean break and not renew the show.

What has most unsettled viewers is the uncertainty now surrounding the future of its hosts at the network. María Verdoy and Antonio Santana had managed to establish themselves as some of the emerging hosts in the Telecinco universe.
