In July 2019, W Studios and Lemon Films began development on a new remake of the 2004 hit Mexican drama Rubí with Carlos Bardasano as producer.[9] Previously in May 2019 Bardasano confirmed that the new adaptation would be a remake, but that in turn would be a sequel and clarifying that: "The story will not only address those aspects known to the public, but will explore what happened to the character years after." The filming of the series officially began on 20 July 2019, and concluded at the beginning of October 2019 in Madrid, Spain.[10] The main theme song of the series is "¿A quién le importa?", is performed by Sodi, whose aunt, Thalía, had covered years prior.[11]

The series received both positive and negative reviews from the audience. Sodi's performance was compared to that of Bárbara Mori's from the 2004 adaptation.[12] It premiered on 21 January 2020 in the United States with a total of 1.66 million total viewers (P2 +) and had a total of 749 thousand adults between 18–49 years, being the best debut of a Univision fiction at 10 p.m. since 2017.
