Biography

Born in Barcelona on 14 March 1978.[1] After earning a licentiate degree in journalism from the University of Barcelona, she started working for the public radio broadcaster Radio Nacional de España (RNE) in 1999,[2] as editor in Ràdio 4.[3] After a brief spell in the Catalan public radio broadcaster Catalunya Ràdio as producer of El matí, she returned to RNE in 2003.[4]

She entered TVE's newscast service in 2005.[2] She became the anchor of the weekend edition of the Telediario in 2006 and co-hosted Informe Semanal from 2007 to 2009.[5] She joined the political debate program 59 segundos in 2009 (she had already hosted its Catalan-language equivalent 59 segons in the TV blocks of the Spanish public broadcaster in Catalonia).[6] After the latter Globomedia-produced program was axed because of its costs in 2012, Casado briefly continued as host of its successor El debate de La 1,[7] as she soon became the presenter of the breakfast television news program Los Desayunos de TVE in that year, replacing Ana Pastor.[5][3] She left Los Desayunos in 2016 to replace Mariló Montero as host of the morning television show La Mañana.[8] She became the chairwoman of the Spain's Academy of Television and Audiovisual Arts and Sciences in 2018.[1][9] In 2020, after 4 years hosting La Mañana, she was replaced by the meteorologist Mònica López as presenter of the show, which was renamed as La Hora de La 1.[10][11] She subsequently left TVE and joined Antonio Banderas' Málaga-based production company Soho TV.[12][9]

In 2020, Casado was the presenter on the Banderas-directed music web television series Escena en blanco y negro, released on Amazon Prime Video.[13] On 6 March 2021, Casado and Banderas directed and hosted the 35th Goya Awards ceremony.[14]

Her return to TVE was announced in October 2021, set the host a weekly show produced in Sant Cugat del Vallès.[15]

Between 2022 and 2023,[16][17][18] she returned to TVE with the interview program Las tres puertas, produced by Teatro Soho Televisión; its first season aired on La 1 and the second on La 2.[19] During its first season, the show received two nominations at the 2022 Iris Awards from the Academy of Television for Best Program and Best Presenter,[20] with María Casado winning the latter award for her work hosting the program.[21]

On September 11, 2024, she joined the newsroom of Informativos Telecinco, and on September 21 of the same year, she became co-presenter and editor[22] of the weekend editions[23] alongside David Cantero. This reunited the two professionals 14 years later, after having previously co-presented TVE's Telediario Fin de Semana together for four years.[24] Her move to Mediaset marked her departure as director of Teatro Soho TV,[25] leading her to reside in Torremolinos (Málaga)[26] from Monday to Wednesday, and in Madrid from Thursday to Sunday to prepare and present the weekend newscasts.[27]
