Marc Giró will return to Spanish public television this Sunday for the tenth and final episode of 'Me meto en un jardín', closing the program’s first season with an interview by Mercedes Milá. The episode was filmed before Giró left TVE for Atresmedia, where he now presents 'Cara al Show' on laSexta. The timing stands out: as La 2 airs his interview, Atresmedia is promoting the new season of his current show. The overlap puts a rival network’s presenter back on public television.
Recorded before his career move, Giró’s conversation with Milá now serves as both a season finale and a look at his television career. During the interview, Giró reflects on audiences, saying that being recognized on the street reassures him that viewers are people, not numbers. He also compares his work to that of a shop assistant, emphasizing his ease with public interaction. Milá responds with her trademark humor, calling him a “puppy” at 50, a comment Giró welcomes enthusiastically.
'Me meto en un jardín' was conceived as a ten-episode first-season format, with Milá interviewing a range of guests in distinctive gardens and arriving by caravan. Sunday schedule changes tied to World Cup broadcasts disrupted its regular slot, but the program still drew large audiences for La 2. Early episodes often exceeded a 4% audience share and attracted more than 500,000 viewers. Pairing new episodes with reruns also helped establish a recognizable Sunday-night presence for the show.
The season’s reported audience figures include David Ucles (4.6%, 505,000 viewers), Sor Lucía Caram (4.7%, 506,000), Miguel Ángel Revilla (4.5%, 482,000), Álex Txikon (4.1%, 443,000), Óscar Camps (3.1%, 328,000), Toño Pérez (3.6%, 340,000), Nazareth Castellanos (3.3%, 297,000), Almudena Ariza (3.3%, 290,000), and Lucía Dominguín (4.2%, 359,000). Those results came amid an irregular schedule and competition for Sunday-night viewers.
Giró’s move to Atresmedia puts the finale in the context of a broadcasting career spanning RTVE, TV3 and radio, as well as earlier appearances on Atresmedia programs including 'Zapeando' and 'Espejo Público'. On laSexta, he hosts 'Cara al Show', an Atresmedia production made in collaboration with Minuto de Barras. The interview-and-entertainment format is also distributed internationally through Antena 3 Internacional and atresplayer Internacional.
Atresmedia’s published results put the debut of 'Cara al Show' at a 5.3% share and 402,000 viewers; laSexta recorded a 5.7% share over the first nine months of 2026. A later episode, broadcast on October 21 with Óscar Puente, María Patiño and Fito Páez, delivered a reported 6.7% share and 465,000 viewers. The program has continued into a second season. Carmen Maura and Victoria Luengo were among the guests in its opening episode, alongside Gonzo, while new contributors Loles León and Sabina Urraca joined returning collaborators Yolanda Ramos and Pepe Colubi.
As the first season ends, the future of 'Me meto en un jardín' remains uncertain. The format’s unhurried conversations in distinctive gardens fit La 2’s cultural and public-service identity, while its audience figures gave the channel a recurring Sunday-night offering. Before any decision about a return, Milá closes the season with Giró, one of its most high-profile guests. His appearance comes amid movement between Spanish television networks, echoing other recent changes such as the transfer of 'El Chiringuito' and Josep Pedrerol to Mediaset, as discussed in recent coverage of major Spanish media changes. The finale leaves the program’s viewers and La 2 awaiting news about what comes next.
'Me meto en un jardín' has contributed to La 2’s efforts to maintain a distinctive identity in Spain’s competitive television market. The show’s focus on candid conversations in visually striking settings gives it a clear place in the channel’s programming. As public broadcasters adapt to changing viewing habits and competition from private networks, the program’s first-season performance adds to the case for conversation-led cultural programming.
