What is Miss XV About?
Miss XV tells the story of two best friends, Valentina and Natalia. They were born on the same day and at the same time! Both girls dream of having the perfect quinceañera birthday party. A quinceañera is a big celebration when a girl turns 15 in many Latin American cultures.
They also hope to become girlfriends with their crushes, Niko and Eddy. The show follows their adventures as they try to make their dreams come true.
How Miss XV Was Made
Inspiration and Filming
Miss XV was inspired by a popular 1986 TV show called Quinceañera. The producer, Pedro Damián, said that Miss XV was not a copy. Instead, it was a new story with a fresh take on the idea.
The show was first announced in late 2010. Filming began on October 12, 2011, in Mexico City. All 120 episodes were filmed there. Production finished in early June 2012.
When Miss XV Aired
The show started airing on April 16, 2012, on Nickelodeon Latin America. It then began airing on Canal 5 on May 14, 2012. The final episode was shown on September 28, 2012, on cable TV. It aired on October 26, 2012, for Canal 5 in Mexico.
Miss XV also debuted in the United States on Unimás on March 2, 2013. Later, it moved to Galavisión on March 25, 2013. The show was also popular in Brazil and Italy.
Plans for a Second Season
Because the show and the band Eme 15 were so successful, the producers thought about making a second season. This new season would have been a spin-off. However, in May 2013, the band Eme 15 announced that a second season was canceled. The producers decided to focus on Eme 15's music career instead.
How the Cast Was Chosen
The show was first planned in 2010. It was going to be called Miss XV: Sueña Princesa. Actresses Danna Paola, Natasha Dupeyrón, and Renata Notni were chosen for the main roles. A preview video with these actresses was released.
However, the show was canceled before filming began. Then, in June 2011, the show was changed and new actors were chosen. Natasha Dupeyrón kept her role. But Danna Paola and Renata Notni were no longer part of the project. Danna Paola wanted to work on her own music.
Paulina Goto was then chosen as one of the main characters. She replaced Danna Paola. Other actresses like Eiza González and Brenda Asnicar also tried out for roles.
Finalizing the Cast
By August 2011, the main cast was set. Paulina Goto, Eleazar Gómez, Natasha Dupeyrón, Yago Muñoz, and Jack Duarte were confirmed. The producers also wanted a third actress to play the main villain, "La Black Princess." In mid-August 2011, Macarena Achaga was chosen for the role of Leonora Martínez. Miss XV was her first acting job.
