Paz Padilla is back in the spotlight, marking her return to television with an emphatic role on Antena 3, after a significant tenure with Mediaset. The comedic star, known for her engaging personality and numerous hit shows, recently transitioned to Antena 3, signaling the start of a new chapter in her career.
The momentous change comes after Padilla left Mediaset at the end of 2024, bidding farewell to her role on 'Tardear'. Since then, curiosity surrounding her next move has mounted. Her debut appearance on Antena 3 was on the popular show 'El Hormiguero', leaving fans excited for what is to come.
Now, she is set to become a central figure in the second edition of 'Emparejados', a prime-time program hosted by Susana Saborido and Joaquín Sánchez. "Paz Padilla will be a guest star in the 'Emparejados' special, as revealed on March 24, 2025 by Poco Pasa TV," indicating her influential role in the revamped series.
'Emparejados', which premiered in September 2024, wowed audiences with its unique format, engaging viewers with a blend of comedic elements and compelling narratives. It achieved an impressive 14.1% share on its opening night, securing around 850,000 average viewers and over 2.8 million unique viewers throughout its initial run. This level of success sets high expectations for Padilla's involvement.
Paz Padilla's illustrious career with Mediaset included some of Spain's most-watched programs. She was notably at the helm of 'Sálvame', and has also presented various specials, such as 'La noche en Paz', 'Al ataque chow', and 'La última cena'. Furthermore, she contributed her talents as a judge on 'Got Talent España'. However, in her last year at Mediaset, her appearances dwindled down to 'Tardear', leading to her departure that left many wondering about her future in television.
Now, her new role is not only about a fresh start but also about the opportunities it brings. As part of 'Emparejados', Padilla might engage in a format that features questioning games and couple dynamics. Each episode introduces a special pair of guests who partake in various entertaining challenges, and Padilla's humor and charm could play a pivotal role in revitalizing the show further.

For instance, the season debuted with celebrity guests Jesulín de Ubrique and María José Campanario, who captivated the audience from the onset. With Padilla joining as a guest star, viewers are eagerly awaiting how her distinctive flair will complement the established format.
Looking ahead, while Padilla moves to broaden her horizons with Antena 3, she is not completely severing ties with Mediaset. She will continue her acting role in the successful series 'La que se avecina'. This will keep her connected to her roots at Mediaset while allowing her the freedom to explore new creative avenues on Antena 3.
As viewers tune into 'Emparejados', they can expect a fresh and entertaining approach, especially with the diverse segments that the show promises to deliver. Paz Padilla’s journey is a testament to resilience and adaptability in the ever-changing landscape of television, illustrating how a break can lead to new opportunities and exciting challenges.
