Nothing seems to have changed in the last 10 years at the San Antonio police station. Nor in the relationship between

Paco Tous, Pepón Nieto

and

Carlos Santos

in this decade of absence from the screens of

Los Hombres de Paco

. Beyond some gray hair and a new mustache, on the other side of the screen, the three protagonists do not differ from the three policemen whose figure was drawn on the asphalt back in 2011 with the voice of Álvaro Benito in the background. "Now we are more mature, more handsome and supposedly also funnier," they boast.

Anyone would say that the speech of Paco Miranda in 2010, taking office as curator, would be the point and followed by a series that has resurrected the insistence of the followers.

Paco

,

Mariano

and

Povedilla

are back. "We are a little scared that everything has been so easy," says Tous. "Already in the first reading it seemed that you knew everything that was going to happen because you were in a familiar environment." Pepon Nieto, on the other hand, adds nuances: «I don't like to say 'easy' because it seems like it's not a job, but if you look for another word you won't find it. It's the feeling that the character has never left even though you did it a long time ago.

As long as a decade that has served, they say, to give the series "distance" and thus undertake the return. "If they had made the offer to me after three years to return, I would have said that I would not return.

Now, at 10 years old, the vertigo of not disappointing continues, but time makes you free

", Paco Tous contributes about the series that this Monday premieres its first episode on Antena 3 (10:45 p.m.) and will continue weekly on the Atresplayer Premium payment platform .

For the two eight-episode seasons that, so far, Paco's men have shot all their recognizable faces: Lucas (

Hugo Silva

), Sara (

Michelle Jenner

), Curtis (

Fede Celada

), Lola (

Adriana Ozores

) or Aitor (

Mario Casas

). “For all of us who are part of this it was very special because this series put us in the picture for most of us. How can you not want to return with everything we owe him? ", Says Carlos Santos, now with an established career and a Goya, but who does not forget his character, José Luis Povedilla:" Povedilla does not change. "

But if there is a special round for everyone, it is that of Commissioner Lorenzo Castro (

Juan Diego

). «The first day he came to do a test, we were filming and he came down to the set to see us. The whole team applauded him, he got emotional and started to cry. Now, it lasted five minutes: then he went back to insulting us and being the

motherfucker

he has always been, "Pepon details about the veteran actor, who, according to Tous, has always been" the youngest child "in all the shootings. "I was always funny, you were going to record and seconds before they shouted action, I touched your dick and you didn't know what to do", he says.

That was and still is the atmosphere of the filming of

Los Hombres de Paco

. "It's all so familiar that arriving now and seeing a work order with all our names gives you something, it's like leaving 12 years ago," says Carlos Santos. But it is Paco Tous who best enacts that family relationship: «I remember the day that Michelle knew she was going to be a mother. We were on another shoot,

he came over and whispered in my ear 'Dad, I'm going to make you a grandfather'.

And when we refer to Adriana we speak of mother ».

And it is not the family union the only thing they maintain in

Los Hombres de Paco

. Today's humor will continue to be the line to follow at the San Antonio police station. If in its first stage it was the turn of ETA or King Juan Carlos, on

their return it will be the Catalan independence movement or the exhumation of Franco

. Although a new factor enters the equation: social networks. "The parachute we have is that people already know what the humor is, what the

paquero

style is

," warns Carlos Santos.

But, a few days ago, the executive producer,

Marc Cistaré

, already warned that the audience now had a "thinner skin" and that forced to modify certain scenes that were made in the previous stage. "It is true that there is self-censorship on TV and that people have thinner skin," says Pepón Nieto. “But that's because there are Instagram and Twitter, where they insult you live and take offense at anything.

Now we find it difficult to talk about certain things without raising blisters

and before that happens, as it is not a series that seeks to transgress, changes are made.

Changes that, in some cases, have also been for the better, such as putting a woman with Paco in charge of the police station.

“If there are improvements in society, the series will also have improved.

Not everything can be breaking by breaking or saying that anything fits in humor ", details Paco Tous, who launches a final proclamation:"

I've been told that watching

Paco's Men

makes you smarter and more handsome

. "

The

fact check

has not been done

, but the reality is that they are back.
