The Derbez family is back for season 2 of De Viaje Con Los Derbez, which premieres May 20th on the streaming service, Pantaya. The six-episode (+1 additional) half-hour documentary comedy series follows one of the most beloved and funniest families in Spanish-speaking television entertainment as they travel together. In the upcoming season, fans can watch Eugenio Derbez, his wife Alessandra Rosaldo, their young daughter Aitana, as well as Eugenio’s older children Vadhir, José Eduardo, and Aislinn Derbez, travel in an RV around the beautiful landscapes of the northwestern United States. Together, they will learn to survive in the wild and they will also have to learn to survive each other after being together 24/7. HOLA USA! Had the opportunity to talk to the family about the upcoming season, read our exclusive interview below.
What part of your trip was your favorite? What are you most excited for viewers to see?
Eugenio: There are many but probably my favorite part was Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. Those are probably 2 of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my entire life, astonishing, and beautiful. Nature there you can see that everything is virgin, no one has touched anything there. So I loved Yellowstone and Glacier National Park
That is a lot of time together. So what did you learn about your children this time around?
Eugenio: That I should have been more strict (laughs). No, it was wonderful but… I learned that even though we are so different and we come from different places because my kids were raised apart so they didn‘t grow up together, they get along so well, and it’s because I think I taught them not to take anything personally and to always see life with comedy. And that helps a lot so they don’t care. We are always like bullying each other, in a nice way, and it’s fun. We don’t take anything personally, we let go of anything, and that helps us to get along very well.

You really are leaving a legacy too with all this footage. So what do you hope the legacy of the Derbez family is?
Alessandra: I think it’s about being ourselves and being absolutely normal. You know people have this idea of us or of any famous family out there this idea of perfect families and everything being wonderful and of “success and fame.” And I think we are not about that at all, we are completely opposite. We are extremely normal. So I think we are relatable and people can relate to us being perfectly imperfect and I think that’s how we are.
Aislinn: We’re going to be in very different scenarios where we are fish out of water, so that‘s going to be fun. Especially because some of us love nature and some of us hate it. Like José Eduardo hates it, so for me, it was a way more interesting and fun season than last season because I’m in my element. And I also think we got a deeper connection, everybody.
José Eduardo, I saw a sneak peak of you cutting wood. Are we going to get to see other survival skills? Like are we going to get to see you punch a bear next?
José Eduardo: No, I don’t like nature (laughs). I’m the best wood chopper, I believe you guys will be able to see that. But no I would not survive one hour in the wilderness. Vadhir, he’s the expert nature survivor. He could fish and he could kill a bear and stuff.
What‘s something you learned about your dad and Alessandra this season?
Vadhir: That it’s very nice to see them once every three months (laughs) I’m just kidding. They keep their dynamic.
