Network:Amazon Prime Video

Operación Triunfo is a Spanish reality television music competition to find new singing talent. The twelfth series, also known as Operación Triunfo 2023, premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 20 November 2023, presented by Chenoa.[1] It is the first season broadcast by Amazon Prime Video, as well as the first season aired by an over-the-top streaming service instead of a free-to-air television channel.[2]

In addition to the Galas or weekly live shows, an after show hosted by Masi Rodríguez airs after each weekly gala, and recap shows hosted by Xuso Jones are released daily. The activities of the contestants at "The Academy" or La Academia are streamed live via YouTube.[1]

Headmaster, judges and presenter

On 27 May 2023, it was announced that singer Chenoa, who rose to fame as a contestant on series 1, would be the new host for the series.[3] Noemí Galera will continue as the headmaster of the academy. On 15 November 2023, it was announced that the judging panel would consist of singer Buika, music journalist Cris Regatero, and musician and producer Pablo Rouss, with a fourth guest judge rounding out the panel on each episode.[4]
