Seventeen years after the broadcast of the last episode of Un, dos, tres, part of the team will therefore meet again to the delight of fans. And this sequel event will notably take the form of a handover between the emblematic heroes of the series and a whole new generation of students.
Here is the official synopsis unveiled a few days ago by the production: “More than 15 years have passed when Roberto returns from the United States with the idea of putting on a musical featuring the hits of UPA Dance.
