Shortly after, he decides to move to Madrid to focus on the film and television industry. He then works on the fourth season of El Ministerio del Tiempo and in 2020 publishes Karité, his second poetry collection, with the contemporary poetry publishing house L'Ecume Incendiaria. That same year, he participates in the film Canto Cósmico, Niño de Elche directed by Marc Sempere Moya, featuring a performance directed by Ernesto Artillo. In early 2022, he films the third season of La Caza. Guadiana and is immersed in the publication process of his third poetry collection, Hiperpoemas (2022), published by the Fundación CB. He concludes the year by filming the final season of Servir y proteger for RTVE.
