Familia Peluche Cast: What Happened After the Show?

Viewers were kept in suspense after the 2012 finale of La Familia P. Luche. Thanks to its quirky plot points and vibrant cast of characters, the sitcom quickly rose to the top of Mexico's television ratings. But what became of the Familia Peluche Cast after the show ended? Let’s take a look at their journeys post-Peluche.

Eugenio Derbez – From Ludovico Peluche to Hollywood Star

Eugenio Derbez, who created and played the lead role in La Familia P. Luche, has had a hugely successful career since the show finished. He then moved to Hollywood and starred in and directed movies like Instructions Not Included (2013), which at the time was the most successful Spanish-language movie in the U.S.

His movies like Overboard (2018), Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019), and CODA (2021), which got an Academy Award, continued to do well around the world.

Derbez is still proud of his Mexican comedic roots, and fans still think of him as Ludovico Peluche, even though he's famous in Hollywood.

Consuelo Duval – Federica Peluche’s Return to Comedy

Renowned for her loud and theatrical Federica Peluche, Consuelo Duval carried on working in Mexican entertainment. She produced comedic shows including Tal Para Cual and Netas Divinas. Apart from performance, she started judging reality shows and even experimented with stand-up comedy.

Though she’s taken on a variety of roles, Federica remains one of her most iconic characters, and she has hinted in interviews that she would love to revisit the Familia Peluche Cast for a reunion.

Regina Blandón – From Bibi Peluche to a Rising Star

Regina Blandón played Bibi Peluche, the family's only "normal" person. After La Familia P. Luche, she got more major acting jobs in movies, TV shows, and the theater. A lot of people really liked her in the Mexican movies Mirreyes vs. Godínez (2019) and Guerra de Likes (2021).

She is among the most flexible actors in Mexico as she can move between comedy and drama. Though most people still refer to her as "la rara," Bibi has effectively developed a career much beyond the sitcom.

Luis Manuel Ávila – The Evolution of Junior Peluche

Luis Manuel Ávila, who played the spoiled and naughty Junior Peluche, is still working in the entertainment business. He has been in a lot of television series and plays, which shows that his skills aren't just limited to comedy. Fans were surprised when he played a major part in El Último Rey, a biopic series about Vicente Fernández, in the last few years.

Junior Peluche is a fan-favorite figure that keeps coming up in memes and popular culture even with his career development expanded.

Bárbara Torres – Excelsa’s Comedy Continues

Bárbara Torres, who played Excelsa, the sarcastic and lazy maid, has continued to embrace comedy. She was in theater plays, reality shows, and telenovelas. In the reality show La Casa de los Famosos México (2023), one of her most famous recent parts, she showed her real self, which was very different from her Peluche character. 

Her comedic talent remains strong, and fans still love her signature dialogues from La Familia P. Luche.

Miguel Pérez – The Legacy of Maradonio Peluche

After the show finished, Miguel Pérez, who portrayed the youthful but remarkably talented Maradonio Peluche, went on to other endeavors. He keeps in touch with his followers through social media, even though he hasn't had many large acting roles since Peluche. His memorable one-liners and charming attitude helped Maradonio stand out to audiences.

Is There a Familia P. Luche Reunion in the Future?

For years, rumors have circulated about a potential Familia Peluche Cast reunion or even a revival of the show. Eugenio Derbez has said that he would be open to bringing the family back for a movie or special, but this has not been confirmed by anyone in charge. 

For the time being, fans can only enjoy reruns and streaming platforms to experience the enchantment of La Familia P. Luche, a world that they continue to eagerly await the return of.

The Enduring Legacy of La Familia P. Luche

Some episodes of La Familia P. Luche have been out for more than ten years, but the show is still one of the most famous in Mexico. The Familia Peluche Cast has moved on to exciting new projects, but their time on the show will always hold a special place in television history.
