Rostock's Francisco Medina celebrates a record comeback as the father of twins!

In the world of television there are returners and stars who don't throw away their skins so quickly. Francisco Medina is one of them. The 48-year-old actor is returning to the popular RTL series “Everything that counts” and will be seen again as Maximilian von Altenburg from July 21, 2025. This marks his ninth comeback since the first appearance in 2007, which is definitely a record like that VIP reported.

The role of Maximilian is a complex affair for Medina. The actor has a lot to tell, because his character not only brings with him personal challenges, but also a secret that could cause serious disruption to the Steinkamp empire. Medina describes his character as particularly complex and mentions that he only returns when it appeals to him, suggesting that real drama is ahead.

Private happiness with twins

In addition to his return to the television screen, Francisco Medina's personal life has also taken an exciting turn. He recently became the proud twin father of Carlos and Ruben. He describes the birth of his sons as an “indescribable moment” and sees it as a “gift” that enriches his family. His recent experiences as a father have opened up a new dimension for him in terms of priorities. “Now my children’s health and smiles come first,” he said Baltic Sea newspaper quoted.

For Medina, his return to the TV world comes at a time in his life that is full of joy and new challenges. From his work as an actor to his role as a personal development coach to the joys of fatherhood, the Rostock native brings a lot of life experience that could influence his art.

A look at the casting landscape

While Medina once again plays her way into the hearts of viewers, it will be exciting to see how the television world as a whole develops. Casting shows like “Das Supertalent”, which have been running on RTL since 2007, ensure that talent from all possible areas come to the big stage. This type of entertainment has been firmly established in Germany since the 1950s and shows how diverse and dynamic the media landscape can be. The broadcasters benefit twice: not only from the ratings, but also from income from telephone votes that viewers can cast for their favorite candidate.

No matter how you spin it, the world of television in Germany has changed significantly since the first casting show “Popstars”. The regular lack of new formats shows that the audience's demands are high and constantly changing. But for viewers, a character like Maximilian von Altenburg, played by Francisco Medina, remains a familiar anchor in a rapidly changing show landscape.
