Bombshell on El Trece: a figure will replace Mirtha Legrand on Saturday nights

El Trece is reportedly preparing a significant change in its programming for 2027 that could mark the end of a historic era in Argentine television. According to Adrián Pallares, who revealed this on Monday, November 2, on Intrusos, the channel plans to replace Mirtha Legrand with Moria Casán on Saturday nights.

The information was shared during the broadcast of the América TV program, where the journalist stated that the channel's authorities are already working on next year's schedule.

The news was particularly surprising because the chosen one would not be Juana Viale, who has been filling in for her grandmother during her absence from the screen.

Moria Casán would be the chosen one to replace Mirtha Legrand on El Trece

During Intrusos, Adrián Pallares explained that El Trece's intention would be to maintain a proposal similar to Mirtha Legrand's traditional television dinners, but with a new host. "The idea is for Saturday nights on El Trece to continue with a version quite similar to what we are seeing now, but without Mirtha Legrand", the journalist stated.

He then revealed who would be the chosen figure to lead the project in 2027. "Next year, Saturday nights would be hosted, in a similar format to this, by Moria Casán", Pallares assured.

If the information is confirmed, the renowned actress and host would take charge of a show that would retain some of the characteristic elements of the traditional television dinners. "She would be in charge of these dinners or something similar", added the journalist, who made it clear that the project is still in the planning stage.

For now, El Trece has not officially confirmed the replacement or the characteristics of the potential new program.

Adrián Suar would have a strong interest in incorporating Moria Casán into his projects

Pallares also revealed that Adrián Suar, one of the main figures responsible for the content of El Trece, would have a special interest in having Moria Casán for different projects.

"I was told that Adrián Suar wants Moria for radio, television, whatever it may be", the journalist stated.

The declaration fueled rumors about a possible restructuring of the channel's programming, which would seek to maintain a format recognized by viewers, but with a different figure at the helm.

Moria Casán has an extensive career in Argentine entertainment, both on television and in theater, and her potential incorporation would represent a significant change on Saturday nights.

However, details about negotiations, contracts, or a specific date for a possible debut have not yet emerged.

What happened to Mirtha Legrand's health and why Juana Viale replaced her

Rumors about Mirtha Legrand's television future arose after health issues kept her away from her program for the past few weeks.

On September 18, the host was hospitalized again at Sanatorio Mater Dei, just days after being discharged following nearly a week of hospitalization due to bronchitis.

On that occasion, the institution released a statement signed by its medical director, Enrique Echagüe, explaining that Mirtha had been admitted for a condition compatible with a lung disease.

The report indicated that the host remained hospitalized for necessary studies, treatments, and monitoring. Additionally, her family publicly thanked everyone for their concern and respect for her health.

After nearly three weeks of hospitalization, Mirtha Legrand was discharged on October 6 and returned home to continue her recovery.

During her absence, Juana Viale temporarily took over hosting the traditional Saturday dinners, in addition to continuing with her regular television commitments.

However, according to the information shared by Pallares, Mirtha's granddaughter would not be the chosen one to permanently occupy that time slot in 2027.

El Trece is preparing its programming for 2027 and doubts about Mirtha Legrand's future are growing

The possible arrival of Moria Casán raises questions about the continuity of one of the most emblematic programs on Argentine television.

Mirtha Legrand has been at the helm of her traditional television tables for decades and has become one of the most recognized figures in the history of national entertainment.

Therefore, her potential replacement by Moria Casán would represent a significant change for El Trece's programming, especially if a format similar to that popularized by the historic host is maintained.

Nonetheless, so far, the rumors are based on the information shared by Adrián Pallares and there is no official confirmation regarding Mirtha Legrand's definitive departure from Saturday nights.

The decision will depend on the plans the channel adopts for its 2027 programming and the negotiations that may be finalized with the involved figures.
