One of the first premieres on the public channel for 2025 will be the third edition of 'Bake Off: Celebrities in the Oven'. Hosted once again by Paula Vázquez, this baking competition will feature popular figures like Isabel Gemio, Víctor Sandoval, Finito de Córdoba, Carmen Morales, Nagore Robles, and Yurena, among others.

'Sewing Masters' will also return, this time with a celebrity version featuring Eduardo Casanova, Mónica Cruz, Edu Soto, and Pilar Rubio. Comedian José Mota will be back with 'José Mota: No News', joined by Patricia Conde, Florentino Fernández, and Santiago Segura. In the realm of competitions, two new shows: 'The Connection', hosted by Lara Álvarez, and 'The Floor', with Chenoa as presenter. 'Internal Affairs', a police thriller set in the late 70s, and 'ENA', based on the life of Queen Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, will be the dramas of the early months of the new year. The fourth edition of 'Benidorm Fest' and the final phase of the King's Cup in football will complete the programming.

The second channel of TVE will continue its focus on game shows, with 'Numbers and Letters' and 'Know and Win'.

Friday's prime time will be occupied by 'The Challenge', featuring Victoria Federica and Genoveva Casanova as the big names of the fifth edition, with Roberto Leal returning as the host.
