Angelique Boyer has quite the workload for the rest of 2025 as one of the leading stars of TelevisaUnivision. The star was recently confirmed to return to primetime telenovelas with a remake of Doménica Montero, stars in an episode of the anthology Vix series Mujeres Asesinas, and is also set to star in her first feature film.
One of the hot projects in development at TelevisaUnivision’s Upfront this year is a new version of the Inés Rodena classic, Doménica Montero. The story centers around a woman who is hardened by life after being left at the altar on her wedding day.
Boyer seems to be the perfect fit for this role, given her versatility in acting. In an interview with Deadline, the actress told the publication that she is “grateful with the proposal” because “it’s an emblematic character that any actress would want to play,” adding, “There are a lot of stages in an actress’s career, and Doménica Montero is a new challenge and an opportunity to play a woman with a lot of character.”
Carlos Bardasano is set to produce the new version of Doménica Montero, which Inés Rodena first adapted into a telenovela in Venezuela as La Doña in 1972. The first Mexican adaptation of the story came in 1978 with Iran Eory in the lead role. El Chavo star Florinda Meza produced a remake in 1995, titled La Dueña, with Angélica Rivera in the titular role. The latest version of this story was made by TelevisaUnivision in 2010 with Lucero in a telenovela titled Soy tu Dueña.
The new version of Doménica Montero will also see Boyer reunite with Ximena Suárez, the writer who adapted the popular 2010 telenovela Teresa, for which the actress continues to receive praise.
“She knows me well and knows what I’m capable of, and I think we’re going to be a good duo,” Boyer said of working with Suárez again. “The audience needs these dynamics where the writer can write iconic phrases which can reach new generations that want to see these types of characters.”
As Doménica Montero is still in pre-production, Boyer could only tease what audiences could expect, especially when it comes to the iconic scene where the lead character cries under a rainy night, “Yo soy la dueñaaaaaaaaaaaa.”
“What I can say is that it’s a great melodrama, that we’re going to have incredible photography, that the iconic story is being respected, and surely that scene will be included and we’ll tell it in a new way, like each version has,” she added.
After starring in the Vix series El Extraño Retorno de Diana Salazar, Boyer continued on the TelevisaUnivision streaming platform for an episode of Mujeres Asesinas Season 3. The anthology series is based on real-life cases of women who make the extreme decision to kill, and each episode details the reasons that led up to that.
For Boyer, acting in Mujeres Asesinas “is very different because the character is based on real cases,” adding, “For us actors, it represents a great commitment to take on the character with more sensibility.”
“It’s an important project that has been able to transcend generations and continues to bring in new audiences,” she says. “It’s a project with a conscience, which looks to entertain viewers and generate communication between people facing similar conflicts. Maybe through the outside experience, they could learn something and avoid these situations that affect our society.”
This is Boyer’s second Mujeres Asesinas character, and she noted she liked being a part of it “because it takes us to another zone as actors and allows us to leave our comfort zone to do things that audiences are not familiar seeing us in.”
Boyer is also really excited about starring in her first feature film, teasing, “It’s my first time making a comedy like the one we’re making. I am having a lot of fun. I am so happy with my director, Ihtzi Hurtado, who has given me the gift of working with her.”
In the new film, Boyer says she will star alongside Bárbara de Regil and is very happy working with her for the first time, adding, “I think the audience will really like [the film]. We are here ending every production day with a big smile.”
Boyer has a busy rest of the year, but one character she still has yet to play will honor her French roots. The actress was born in France and has yet to play a French character, which is something she hopes to do one day.
“Help me manifest so it can be a character that can speak French and mix these two cultures. It would be marvelous, and I would be very proud to take Mexico to France and bring France to Mexico,” she said.
