After breaking a global record with the largest global viewership for a Latin American title in Prime Video history and becoming the most-watched series or movie of all time on Prime Video in Colombia, Betty la Fea is back to finally solve the mystery. Prime Video has laid its cards on the table – quite literally.

Following a mysterious tarot session between Betty (Ana María Orozco) and Bertha (Luces Velásquez), the stars have officially aligned to reveal the official trailer, key art, and premiere date for the highly anticipated second season of Betty la Fea: La Historia Continúa, arriving on August 15, exclusively on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories.

With the stellar return of Ana María Orozco and Jorge Enrique Abello alongside much of the original cast, the second season will unfold across 10 episodes, released two episodes per week.

This new season picks up where the previous one left off,...

Reboots are a dime a dozen in Hollywood. But with the smashing success of Prime Video’s “Betty La Fea: The Story Continues,” better known in the U.S. by its English version “Ugly Betty,” Amazon found untapped enthusiasm for beloved Latin American IP over 20 years after it first aired, underlining the benefit of international expansion in the midst of the streaming wars.

Created by Fernando Gaitán for the Colombian network Rcn, “Yo soy Betty, la fea” followed the adventures of Beatriz Pinzón Solano (Ana María Orozco), a secretary with braces, bad bangs and an even worse wardrobe, who falls in love with her playboy boss Armando Mendoza (Jorge Enrique Abello). The show followed Betty’s transformation from an eager assistant helping her supervisor hide financial wrongdoing, into a confident and beautiful executive who takes over as president of the clothing manufacturing company where she works — while her playboy reformed into a doting husband.

Prime Video has renewed Betty la Fea, La Historia Continúa for a second season.

The news arrives following a big premiere week for the continuation series breaking a new record for the largest global viewership for a Latin American title in the streamer’s history. It is now also the most-watched series or movie on Prime Video in Colombia.

Betty, La Fea, the Story Continues tells the story of Beatriz Pinzón Solano 20 years after the conclusion of the original show. While an empowered and wiser Betty works hard on rebuilding her relationship with her teenage daughter Mila, her relationship with Armando begins to deteriorate, making her question if she made the right decision 20 years ago.

It’s been over two decades since the smash-hit Colombian telenovela Yo Soy Betty la Fea first aired. Focusing on the unassuming Betty and her adventures at the fashion company Ecomoda, the series became a worldwide phenomenon, with fans drawn to Betty’s klutzy charm and willingness to persevere in the face of adversity.

Now, Betty la Fea: The Story Continues brings us back to Ecomoda years later. A lot has changed for Betty since she left the company and her marriage to Armando ended. But when Armando’s father passes, the ownership of Ecomoda is thrown into question. Following the funeral, shocking details of Roberto’s will reveal Betty has a stake in the company’s future once more.

With the classic characters returning and a new mystery pulling Betty back into the stylish world she once knew, there’s plenty here for fans of the original to sink their teeth into.

When "Yo Soy Betty, La Fea" aired its first and only season in 1999, no one could have imagined the impact a Colombian telenovela that followed Betty Pinzón, a quirky, corporate Latina protagonist navigating her career and love life, would have on millions of people around the world. The show was televised in 180 countries, dubbed in 15 languages, and remade into 28 international adaptations - with one of the most prominent remakes starring America Ferrera as "Ugly Betty."

In "Betty La Fea" - and every rendition thereafter - Betty's long, frizzy dark hair, oversized glasses, mouth full of braces, and bushy eyebrows elicited unwarranted disgust and ire from most of her coworkers. Her looks were the throughline of every episode, which was fitting, given that the Spanish title translates to "I Am Betty, the Ugly One." But for countless Latines who grew up watching the show, Betty was a beacon of hope for...

It’s been 20 years since “I am Betty, The Ugly One” went off the air, but the Colombian TV show continues to have an incredibly loyal fanbase. Those fans can rejoice this week, as “Betty la Fea, The Story Continues” is set to debut on Prime Video on Friday, July 19. The original series is considered one of the most successful telenovelas in history, and viewers won’t want to miss what Betty gets up to next!
