Luis Silva Hints at Potential Return of "Vivir del Cuento" in Miami

The renowned Cuban comedian Luis Silva, widely recognized for his iconic portrayal of Pánfilo in the show "Vivir del Cuento," has suggested the possibility of reviving the beloved comedy series in the United States. During a recent interaction on Instagram, a follower commented, “A show in the USA. The people demand it,” to which Silva candidly replied, “We’re seriously considering it.” This response sparked excitement among his fans.

Many followers have expressed the desire for the original cast to reunite and adapt the scripts to reflect the challenges faced by Cubans both on the island and abroad. The show, which aired for over a decade on Cuban television, is currently on hiatus in Cuba following years of censorship and the departure of several key actors, including Andy Vázquez, Omar Franco, Irela Bravo, Marlon Pijuán, Wilber Gutiérrez, and Silva himself. Silva has been spotted in the United States on several occasions with his wife.

While Silva has not confirmed a permanent move to Miami, he has participated in public events and appeared in advertisements, including the one that prompted the Instagram comment. The prospect of "Vivir del Cuento" relocating to the United States has thrilled thousands of fans, as it was one of the few platforms for social satire on Cuban television for years. “Please, do it. You’d be number one here too,” one user commented.

There is also speculation surrounding the potential arrival of Cuban comedian Mario Sardiñas, known as Chequera, in the United States. Although there's no official confirmation of his move, his presence could add to the potential Miami-based revival. If realized, this version would usher in a new chapter for Pánfilo and his crew, potentially addressing both daily life on the island and the experiences of the Cuban exile community.
