Eiza González Reveals the Insane Pace of Filming Mexican Telenovelas

Eiza González recently shared her experience filming the Mexican telenovela, Lola, Érase Una Vez, in a short video interview. The actress revealed that the series consisted of 224 episodes, all filmed within a single year. This high-volume production schedule is a characteristic feature of Mexican telenovelas, contrasting sharply with the more measured pace of American television. González commented, "It's like 100 episodes, it's like 100 and 125... 200? 100... It's in the hundreds. It's higher 300?", illustrating the challenge of keeping up with such a demanding schedule. In contrast to the intense pace of the telenovela, González noted that when she moved to America, she was given "one scene a day," highlighting the significant difference in production styles and workload between the two countries. The interview provides a fascinating insight into the world of telenovela production and the dedication of actors involved in these high-output series.
