4. The Legacy
No release date yet
Nearly four decades after the group was first formed, some former members grapple with the unresolved injustice, scandal, and trauma of their experience. While reunion tours offer the chance to reconnect with fans, Menudo’s legacy is reflected in the international boy band craze of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

No release date yet
The Menudo empire begins to show cracks amid claims of mistreatment and allegations of sexual abuse. As officials seem to turn a blind eye to the complaints of some parents, the next generation of band members is introduced.
2. Big Bucks
No release date yet
After Menudo’s triumphant New York City debut – which caused a teenage mania the media dubbed “Menuditis” – the band expands into English-language music, infecting youth culture and bolstering Edgardo Díaz’s empire. As record-breaking performances, a TV show, and a merchandise frenzy launch the band’s simmering fame into the stratosphere, a run-in with Miami law threatens their wholesome image.
1. Small Change
No release date yet
In 1977, business-minded manager Edgardo Díaz takes a gamble when he forms the “forever young” boy band Menudo, regularly replacing its members when they aged out of the desired demographic. As the band builds a rabid fan base in Latin America, Díaz’s vision pays off, and Menudo becomes a source of pride in a politically turbulent Puerto Rico.
