The original Colombian ‘Ugly Betty’ returns with new season after 20 years: Release date and more

‘Betty, la fea’ is making an unexpected comeback after 20 years. The iconic Colombian television series is set to return after inspiring many international remakes and making an impact on the entertainment industry following its success in the late 90s and early 2000s.

The fan-favorite story between Beatriz Pinzón and Don Armando had a major revival after Netflix released it on the popular streaming platform, and while it was sadly removed recently, another streaming service acquired the show and will be bringing the continuation of the story to the small screen.
