Upcoming Telenovelas: Univision, UniMás and Telemundo Announce Their 2013-14 Lineups
Telemundo's new lineup has now been added towards the end of
this post.
UNIVISION
Dramas
“La Tempestad”
(The Storm)– This riveting telenovela follows the story of Marina, whose
revelations of her vengeful former boss’ indiscretions force her to find work
in a small fishing village. There she meets Damián, the owner of the fishing
boat La Tempestad and they fall in love. But dark clouds quickly gather as
jealous and ambitious rivals emerge bent on destroying any hopes they may have
had for happiness. Will Damián and Marina be able to weather the storm and find
calm waters once again? This telenovela features today’s hottest heartthrob and
cross-over sensation William Levy and former Miss Universe Ximena Navarrete,
and is produced by Salvador Mejia (“Triunfo del Amor” and “Que Bonito Amor”).
(Monday – Friday, Primetime – Televisa)
“Mentir para Vivir”
(Lie So You Can Live) – A single moment in time can change everything forever.
That is the premise of this intricate tale which takes off when Oriana finds
out her husband in engaged in illegal activities. When an unexpected murder
takes place, Oriana flees to a small Mexican resort hotel and takes on a false
identity in order to protect her daughter. Through her journey to untangle the
lies and plots that have tied her life into knots, she discovers what she’s
really made of. Produced by Rosy Ocampo (“Por Ella Soy Eva” and “La Fuerza del
Destino“) and written by Maria Zarattini author of “Amor Real” and
“Sortilegio,” this telenovela stars Mayrín Villanueva, David Zepeda, Diego
Olivera and Altair Jarabo. (Monday- Friday, Primetime – Televisa)
“Libre Para Amarte”
(Free to Love) – Life’s journey hasn’t been an easy one for Aurora. Not only is
she solely responsible for the caring of her niece, but she is also the
financial backbone of her entire family, including her boyfriend. She takes
over Los Cocodrilos (The Crocodiles), a famous taxi stand in Mexico City, after
her father is forced to retire. Her life, however, spins out of control when
the man of her dreams gets into her taxi cab one day. But timing is everything
in life, and theirs isn’t ideal. As their plot thickens, four additional story
lines featuring the hysterical lives of the taxi drivers Aurora works with
unfold, and viewers are treated to cameo appearances by some of Latin America’s
biggest celebrities playing passengers in the taxis. The telenovela stars
Gloria Trevi, known as the “Supreme Diva of Mexican Pop,” making her telenovela
debut, as well as Gabriel Soto (“Un Refugio Para el Amor”) and Eduardo
Santamarina (“Velo de Novia” and “Rubi”). (Monday – Friday, Primetime –
Televisa)
La Mujer del Vendaval” (The Woman from Vendaval) – This is
the story of Marcela, a young woman who is about to receive a large inheritance
on the condition that she marry. She meets a worthy suitor named Alessandro, a
wealthy heir in his own right. A valuable piece of jewelry goes missing and
triggers this who-done-it telenovela. Featuring Ariadne Díaz (“Mañana es Para
Siempre”) and José Ron (“La Que No Podía Amar”), produced by Mapat L. de
Zatarain. (Monday – Friday, Primetime – Televisa)
Comedies
“Durmiendo con mi
Jefe” (Sleeping with my Boss) – A modern Mexican twist on the classic
sitcom “The Odd Couple.” When Gael, a womanizing boss, gets a divorce, his
perpetually late but loyal employee Carlos, takes him into his home. The one
catch, he still lives with his “mami” and sister. “Durmiendo con mi Jefe”
features veteran comedian and producer Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo and “Hoy” co- host
Raul Araiza. (Primetime – Televisa)
“Todo Incluido”
(All-Inclusive) – While exploiting the comedic situations bound to take place
in a busy boutique hotel in Mexico, this sitcom showcases the incredibly
popular alter egos of comedian Adrian Uribe. The funnyman’s well-known and
beloved characters play several of the hospitality staff members and guests.
The sitcom also features other popular Mexican comedians, sports figures,
actors, and singers who make cameos each week. (Primetime – Televisa)
“Casate Conmigo”
(Marry Me) – This comedy series features Valeria Mejia, a woman who flees the
altar for the third time. With the help of her three friends, Valeria ponders
the question many in her generation ask: ‘Why marry?’ “Casate Conmigo” features
a stellar cast that includes Galilea Montijo, Arath de la Torre, Paul Stanley
and Jorge Poza, among others. (Primetime – Televisa)
UNIMÁS
Dramas
“Metastasis” –
Based on the critically acclaimed American series “Breaking Bad,” “Metastasis” is the story of a struggling high
school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. He turns
to a life of crime, producing and selling meth with a former student with the
goal of securing his family’s financial future before he passes away. According
to Breaking Bad producer Sony TV, the studio has not closed a deal with
Univision for a Spanish-language adaptation. The studio had shot and shopped a
Spanish-language Breaking Bad pilot for the U.S. and Latin American markets but
has not decided what network(s) it would go with or whether it would proceed
with the series at all. (Primetime – Sony)
“La Selección”
(The Team) – With the upcoming 20th anniversary of Colombia’s legendary 1994
World Cup team and their 5-0 victory over rival Argentina – one of the most
inspiring stories in all of soccer history – UniMás presents the Caracol
production of “La Selección.” Told for the very first time, it is based on the
true stories of the four principle stars of the team, El Pibe Valderrama,
Freddy Rincón, René Higuita and Faustino Asprilla. The series follows their
rise from the humble dirt soccer fields of their childhood, to the grandeur of
international stardom and national pride – all set against the turbulent
backdrop of Colombia’s civil and drug wars of the time. Their stories
demonstrate the capacity of dedicated human beings to overcome adversities and
obstacles to realize their most cherished dreams – both on and off the soccer
field. (Primetime – Caracol)
“La Viuda Negra”
(The Back Widow) – Ripped straight from the headlines, “La Viuda Negra” is
based on the true story of Griselda Blanco, “the Cocaine Godmother,” who
virtually ruled the Miami drug trade in the 1970s and early 1980s. Born an
illegitimate child in a bordello in Colombia, she grew up on the backstreets
and learned how to use her charms and wits to start a life of crime that
eventually took her to Miami. There she became the undisputed queen of the
illegal drug trade with Colombia. Married four times, she killed each of her
unfortunate husbands, thus earning the name “The Black Widow.” “La Viuda Negra”
is a fascinating look into the dark world of a woman whose story is sure to
capture viewers in her web of lies and deceit. (Primetime – RTI)
“Gossip Girl
Acapulco” – Based on the successful American series, “Gossip Girl Acapulco”
is a faithful look into the privileged and often turbulent lives of an elite
group of beautiful young people, but this time in the hot tropical world of the
famous Mexican resort town. In an added twist, it will mark the very first time
that a dramatic series airs simultaneously in the U.S. by Univision and in
Mexico by Televisa, which means unprecedented digital and integrated marketing
opportunities, especially for a series in which social media plays such an
important role. (Primetime – El Mall)
“La Madame” –
This tantalizing new series is based on a book… a little black book, to be
exact. One owned by “La Madame,” who runs a network of beautiful women and
established models who offer their services to prominent men. This is a book
full of some very interesting stories that will finally be told each night by…
“La Madame.” Starring former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. (Primetime – RTI)
“Cloroformo” –
This is a gritty, no-holds-barred story of five boxers who train at a gym in
Mexico City, their manager, and a promoter who has seen the former glory of the
sport deteriorate to its present, unseemly state. It’s a place that serves as a
focal point to look into each of their lives, dreams, fears, victories, and
defeats, both in and out of the ring. It’s an unvarnished look into their
passionate, addictive world in which there’s much more at stake than just
winning a fight. A place where social standing is irrelevant and, at the end of
the day, every punch hurts everyone just the same. Starring Osvaldo Benevides,
Tenoch Huerta, Gustavo Sánchez Parra, Alex Perea and Zuria Vega, “Cloroformo”
also features special guest appearances by Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard and
Julio César Chávez. (Primetime – Televisa)
“Diablo Guardián”
(Guardian Devil) – This is a story of innocence lost, dangerous addictions and
dreams that become nightmares. The series features a 15-year-old girl, who is
always at odds with her parents and wants no part of their plans for her in
Mexico. She steals more than $100,000 and crosses the Mexican border into the
U.S. She settles in New York City to fulfill her dream of living ‘the good
life’ in the Big Apple. But money has a way of running out and she finds out
the hard way that survival for a young, unskilled, immigrant girl comes at a
price. “Diablo Guardián” is based on the best-selling novel and adapted by
Gustavo Bolivar, writer of “El Capo” and “Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso.” (Primetime
– RTI)
Comedies
“Los Héroes del Norte 3” (Heroes of the North 3) – This
comedic adventure returns narrating the fun of five characters who meet under
the worst of circumstances and form a band in their search for stardom within
the world of norteño music. Despite adversity Zacarías, interpreted by renowned
Mexican actor Miguel Rodarte, and his pals El Faquir, Don Apolinar, El Botarga
and El Menonita, find the key to success within the challenging world of
grupero Mexican regional music, showing their fans, and the world, that even
the most common of men can become heroes. (Primetime – Televisa)
TELEMUNDO
Telemundo will unveil five, new primetime telenovelas: “Dama y Obrero” (Lady and The Worker), “La
Impostora” (The Imposter), “Reina de Corazones” (Queen of Hearts), “Santa
Diabla”—working title (Holy Devil) and “Camelia la Tejana” (Camelia The
Texan). Telemundo Media also announced
last week the launch of FLUENCY, a new multiplatform studio that will develop
and produce premium programming for bilingual audiences. The new Los
Angeles-based studio is currently in production on “La Buena Mala,” (The Good,
Bad One) a romantic comedy with a fantasy twist featuring Angelica Celaya and
John Ecker; and “ISA,” a science-fiction coming of age mystery.
“Dama y Obrero”
features Ignacia, a young engineer who works in a large construction company
owned by her boyfriend Tomás. Ignacia and Tomás have been together for a long
time and finally decide to get married, although Ignacia could never imagine
the kind of man Tomás really is. Days before the wedding, they have a heated
argument, and Ignacia decides to leave town and have some time to herself. From
there, she meets Pedro, a man who appears to be wealthy and with whom she spends
an unforgettable weekend. However, Ignacia knows she is only living a dream, a
pause in her life, so the next morning, Pedro wakes up to find a note from
Ignacia but with no trace of how to find her. Regretting what has happened, she
goes back home where Tomás is waiting for her with an offer for an impressive
promotion at his company and expects that this will make her forgive him. When
Ignacia, now in a powerful position, discovers that Pedro is an average
construction worker, the two will find that despite having every reason on
earth not to be together, they will love each other despite prejudice,
differences and rejection that threaten to pull them apart.
“La Impostora” is
an endearing romantic story with a touch of classic melodrama, set in Playa del
Carmen, the heart of the Mayan Riviera. The story follows the adventures of
Blanca Guerrero, a good-looking and witty aspiring actress who makes a living
as a waitress in a picturesque restaurant that caters to tourists. Blanca gets
her big break when she is hired by famous Hollywood actor Adriano Ferrer to
pose as Victoria San Marino, a millionaire investor from New York. In this
role, she will infiltrate the powerful Altamira family with the secret intent
of discovering the whereabouts of a son that Adriano had twenty years before
with Alexandra, a now-deceased daughter of the Altamira. Adriano’s scheme is
put in jeopardy when Blanca falls in love with Eduardo, the handsome and
charismatic scion of the Altamira clan.
“Reina de Corazones,”
set amidst the glitz of Sin City, is the story of Reina and Diego, a young
couple madly in love and about to get married in Las Vegas. Tragically, when
the groom never shows up for the wedding, a devastated Reina faints at the
doorstep of the chapel upon learning that her beloved has been fatally shot.
When Reina comes to and opens her eyes again, she realizes that the chapel is
no longer the same, she is now in a majestic church, with hundreds of guests
seated awaiting a splendorous ceremony and the groom waiting for her at the
altar is not her Diego, but Victor, a powerful gangster. Many secrets are
revealed as Reina discovers she has forgotten the last five years of her life
and tries to put the pieces of the puzzle back together.
“Camelia la Tejana”
is inspired by a song of the same name from the legendary Mexican regional
music band Los Tigres Del Norte, the same tune that inspired one of the most
successful stories ever told on Spanish-language TV, “La Reina del Sur.” The
story begins in the 1970s and is centered around Camelia, a young, innocent and
beautiful woman who tries to escape from one of Mexico’s most powerful drug
lords, Don Antonio. While fleeing her small town, Camelia encounters love in
Emilio Varela, a man who will turn out to be Camelia’s greatest betrayer. It is
because of Emilio that Camelia embarks down a criminal path that would change
her life forever, but after he betrays her, Camelia vows to make him pay.
Camelia’s strength and character will make her a legend, but first, she will
become the most wanted woman on both sides of the law and the border between
the U.S and Mexico.
“Santa Diabla”
(WT) centers on a dramatic twist of fate that leads Santa Martinez to live the
worst of nightmares—the loss of her husband, following an obsessed woman’s
terrible plot to destroy him. Santa is driven to devise a plan for the
“perfect” revenge. The flaw in her plan will arise when she realizes that love
is, once again, knocking on her door. That is when she will have to choose
whether to sacrifice love or the revenge she fought to have.

A fishing village? Again?
Actually, fair enough, a huge percentage of Mexico is coastline. Lucky devils!
You mean the Spanish dude? (second boyfriend) Yowza!

I just can't believe Gloria Trevi is going to be the heroine in a tn, and Gabriel Soto is going to be her galan! Seriously? Can she act? He's improved in each of the tns I've seen him in, but I wouldn't bet the bank on him.
La Tempestad looks like it will have LOTS of eye candy in it. Yay! But it's Mejia. :-( And yet another heroine who has never acted before. Hmmm...
UniMas has some interesting stuff in its lineup.

The poster for La Tempestad with the two hot guys: http://entretenimiento.starmedia.com/telenovelas/mira-poster-oficial-nueva-telenovela-tempestad.html
Thanks for the info Vivi. I find the antagonist of La Tempestad more attractive than William Levy but I will admit I'm not a Levy fan.
Gloria Trevi did some movies back in the early 90's,they were pretty dumb but I enjoyed them as a little kid. Still, I don't think she proved herself as an actress there or anything lol but maybe she could work in a comedy again.
Here's a clip of Zapatos Viejos. The little girl with Gloria is Sherlyn and I have a strong suspicion that one of the girls at minute 4:30 is Ninel Conde before all her surgeries.

Mentir para vivir looks interesting to me, although Zepeda is not my favorite guy in the world.
I would have be more interested in La Tempestad if they hadn't given Levy that awful hairdo and his lady partner...well, someone who has never acted before, getting a protagonico...I bet she's already made some enemies at Televisa.

Of course Gloria Trevi can act! She is free, isn't she?

Thanks for the info Vivi. Be interesting to see when these hit and in what time slots. That most likely plays into whether I watch or not. The shirtless possibilities are breath-taking on some of these, but can't say the plots are making me do hand-stands. But then...oh, heck, who really watches for the plots?

Thanks, Vivi. Of the Univision dramas, only Mujer del Vendaval interests me. The Univision comedies look promising. I'm kind of bummed the dramas are so unappealing.
Sleeping with the Boss & Marry Me are the only ones that interest me.

Thanks for the info on the new Uni shows. I am wondering how bad William Levy's new TN may be b/c of the producer. Why does the woman in the poster look a lot like Ximena from AB?
Karen- How funny that you think Ximena Navarette looks like "Ximena" from AB (Laura Carmine), because Laura C. will actually be in La Tormenta, as a villainess, I believe. Here is a pic of them together during the filming of La Tormenta. Laura C.'s hair is straightened, which is the first time I've seen her with that look: http://www.peopleenespanol.com/gallery/famosos-en-twitter-9?slide=19
Vivi thanks for this info!! I had no idea Laura C would be in this one too and to me that photo looked like her, LOL. So glad you kept me from making one of those mix ups with actors/actresses.
After just seeing the first episode of La Tempestad on line, i have to say I didn't totally hate it. I expected Ximena N. to be really bad, but I think she was ok (then agan, I'm not a good judge when it comes to most actors). William Levy only had a few scenes, so I couldn't really get to know his character, but, boy, he looks bad! He is one of the most good looking tn actors and they just turned him into someone barely ok. I really don't like his longer hair, it does nothing for him.
The other day, I saw something about Amor Real on Uni. I think they are going to show episodes on line, like they did with Quinceanera (sp) on their website.
"The other day, I saw something about Amor Real on Uni. I think they are going to show episodes on line, like they did with Quinceanera (sp) on their website."
The promos are for a cable/satellite channel from Univision called Univision Tlnovelas. I know it's available on Dish (channel 837) and Direct TV (454). Don't know which Cable providers have it. Right now they are airing En Nombre del amor, Sonadores, Un Gancho al Corazon, Tres Mujeres, Canaveral de Pasiones and Salome. Salome ends this week and Amor Real takes over its time slots.
Channel has only been around for a little over a year. Some of the things they have already aired include Colorina (1980), Quinceanera (1987), Rosa Salvaje (1987), Maria Mercedes (1992), Esmeralda (1997), Huracan (1997), El privilegio de amar (1998), Nina amada mia (2003), Palabra de mujer (2007), and Manana es para siempre (2008)

First of all I'm looking forward to Gloria Trevi and Gabriel Soto Gloria Trevi seems very dramatic in her music videos so it should be interesting at the very least.
Also I was watching Cuidado con el Angel in re-runs(don't remember what day) and saw a commercial for Cachito de Cielo coming up and I remembered on another post, someone (I don't remember who or even which thread it was) wishing Univision would play it even though a show about a priest in love didn't play well in Mexico and complaining about how they only play re-runs in non prime time slots (which I can't complain about since I get to watch cool stuff I missed the first time around like Cuidado, and Al Diablo con los Guapos, and even the end of Mar de Amor) Anyway whoever you are I thought I'd let you know, it might be on. The ad said something about the 22nd but it went by fast and I wasn't paying full attention. I probably will watch it since I've had a thing for Maite Perroni since Rebelde
I lurk around here and only posted last week for the first time because I read the care and keeping of recappers thing and promptly forgot all of it , seriously I had no idea what it said to do so I never commented(you may notice I have memory issues) plus I was mostly reading the posts for old shows in re-runs so I figured no one would read any new comments. sorry
And finally La Tempestad, some people are saying it's a hot mess-- since when has that been a bad thing?

Sneaky Two Shoes:
Thanks for the info on Cachito de Cielo. I heard it was funny, even though I guess it didn't do well in Mexico, it may do better here. I have seen the promos too. I am looking forward to La Tempestad. I really think, and this is my own opinion, that Meija, who is much maligned, is an evil genius. Even though the rumors are this TN isn't all that, I still think it will do well here. It's got Ivan Sanchez, who I really liked in Reina del Sur, and William Levy. Who could ask for anything better?
RG:
Thanks for the info about Uni's other channel. My cable company, Cox Communications doesn't have it, bummer. I would have enjoyed watching those TN's you mentioned.

A word from your not-your sponsor on:
Dama y Obrero. The original was a Chilean production. I started watching it on line because I thought it was going to be sort of like Hard Hat and Legs (Sharon Gless and Kevin Dobson). Well it is sort of but not really. It is very interconnected and you have to pay attention to all the relationships.
The Mexican version Vivi has described has Ana Layevska, José Luis Reséndez y Fabián Ríos in the leading roles.
It's not a spoiler to tell you that Ana, the Dama, wears her hair in a messy loose style, very much like her Chilean counterpart, María Gracia Omegna as Ignacia.
José Luis Reséndez, the Obrero, has his name changed to Pedro (shades of El Tal), while the Chilean, known as Julio Ulloa is played by Francisco Pérez-Bannen (do check out some of his pics in Google he is an eye full of candy).
Fabián Ríos is the Mexican Tomás (Ignacia's fiance) while
César Sepúlveda is the Chilean Tomás. I think both of these Thomases are great in the role.
The biggest surprise was to see our little Alicia from Eva Luna playing Mireya, Pedro's intended. She has matured and is really good.
Oh, my secret for knowing so much, so far? I ran into it on Xfinity, where there are some 10 episodes up.
I recommend it for anyone can get Xfinity to catch up and who would like to "experience" another tn set in the U.S.--Lalaland, to be exact--where everyone speaks Spanish (we've been mightily amused by all the Spanish we've heard in QBA when there are scenes in Hollywood/LA).
The 4 episodes I've watched so far, follow the Chilean story almost line for line, but I have to admit, I like Julio in the Chilean version much more (mucho mas sexy).
Gina, the flamboyant aunt in the Chilean version is great--sort of a cross between Ethel Merman and Rosalind Russell and is a hoot to watch.
Thanks, Vivi, for doing such a great job with the overviews and I'm looking forward to La Impostora and will possibly look in on Mentir. I'll probably take a pass on La Tempestad (I still want to imagine Sweet William as Alejandro Lombardo).
I might take a gander or two at La Mujer de Vendaval, but if Jose Ron icks me out, I'll find something else to do in that hour.
Chau amigos, see you around Uni or TeleM.

Thanks, Vivi, for doing such a great job with the overviews and I'm looking forward to La Impostora and will possibly look in on Mentir. I'll probably take a pass on La Tempestad (I still want to imagine Sweet William as Alejandro Lombardo).
I might take a gander or two at La Mujer de Vendaval, but if Jose Ron icks me out, I'll find something else to do in that hour.
Chau amigos, see you around Uni or TeleM.
Here's another word from not-your sponsor on:
Marido en Alquiler. Someone on one of the Caray posts mentioned it. It has an older, but still engaging Juan Soler and I had to check it out.
I think he'll be the central older galan. It has the typical rich family and poor family and how they cross paths and get tangled up with each other. Only watched episode 1 (also on On Demand). It has a lot of side characters, some one-dimensional, but hey, it's Juan Soler. [A side note: after CME he said he was returning to Argentina to raise his daughters, so I was surprised to see him in a central role again. I guess his daughters grew up rather quickly...?]
The back story is that Reinaldo Ibarra, Juan Soler's character, owns and runs a successful restaurant, thanks in great part to his wife's investment. They lead a nice super-rich life, but she's a *difficult* woman. They have one teenage daughter who is in university.
Sonya Smith is Griselda Carrasco, a single mother, who owns a one-(wo-)-man handyman business that she operates out of a panel truck and is appropriately called, Marido en Alquiler (Hired Husband).
She has an ungrateful son, sweet daughter, a brother and there's a kid, but I don't know who he belongs to.
I'm going to keep track of this one.

Ok, here's the skinny on Juan Soler. He's making his debut with Telemundo after signing an exclusivity agreement with the network in 2013.
Could this mean that Juan and Silvia might team up again....hmmmm. I DO miss CME although Amor Bravio gave us lots of top drawer acting even though the story line had us adjusting beanies every now and then.
Which is as it should be. We shouldn't be demanding so much reality and common sense. It would be too much like life.

Anyone will be recapping La Mujer del Vendaval? Or wants to comment the episodes?

I'm about a week and a half behind but I'm watching Mujer de Vendaval and wouldn't mind commenting (sporadically) on it or Cachito when I get caught up (whenever that is, I've been working/hiking nonstop so no time for tns) I usually watch the daytime tns more than the primetime ones because of my crazy schedule

Will anyone be recapping Bella Calamidades? It looks like it's going to be lots of fun. I see it begins next Monday 9/16, but what time does it start?
