FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MIAMI. January 12, 2017 - Telemundo Internacional prepares for NATPE 2017 with a wide ranging variety of content. The romantic comedy La Fan (120 x 1 hour), set to premiere on Tuesday, January 17 in the United Stated on Telemundo (8:00PM) and in Mexico on Gala TV (Televisa) (2:00 PM), joins the drama series La Doña (120 x 1 hour) and the Super Series El Chema (80 x 1 hour), as top offers from Telemundo, which ended a historic 2016 as the #1 Spanish-language network season-to-date in Monday through Friday primetime among adults 18-49 and adults 18-34. Additionally, Telemundo Internacional presents from Korea’s SBS International, Apuesta Final (24 x 1 hour) and the Chilean productions Ambar (Mega), Amanda (Mega), and El Camionero (TVN).
This Natpe will feature a sneak peek of one of Telemundo’s upcoming drama releases Guerra de Idolos, a battle of love, action and ambition set in the world of the music industry.
La Fan, a Telemundo Studios production, tells the story of Valentina, a woman who radiates happiness and purity, and also proudly oversees the Lucas Duarte (Juan Pablo Espinosa) fan club, as his #1 Fan. An unexpected twist of fate will lead her to live her dream of spending every day with him, and even though he does not pay much attention to her at first, in the end, he will realize what really makes a woman special. This new project marks the return of Angélica Vale to telenovelas after more than ten years.
El Chema, the Super Series produced by Argos Televisión for Telemundo, tells of the origins and rise of Chema Venegas, a drug trafficker with the unique ability to escape any time he’s ever fallen into the hands of authorities. Mauricio Ochmann, Mariana Seoane and Itatí Cantoral play leading roles in this production.
The release of El Chema on Telemundo on December 6 at 10PM was seen by 2.4 million total viewers and 1.4 million adults 18 to 49. It was the # 1 Spanish-language program of the night and has since kept its standing.
La Doña, also produced by Argos Televisión for Telemundo, and starring Aracely Arámbula, David Chocarro and Danna Paola, is a story of revenge, betrayal and ambition - but also of redemption, justice and love - that shows how Altagracia, a woman of fascinating beauty, was marked by the loss of her parents after a tragic accident and the abuse of a group of depraved rich young men. The drama is inspired by the classic popular novel Doña Barbara. Its premiere on Telemundo ranked as the network’s highest-rated 9PM premiere this year.
Apuesta Final is the ambitious SBS International production that takes place in the kingdom of the Joseon Dynasty in 1693, during an era of kings and princes, political games, great warriors and magical legends.
At Natpe, Telemundo Internacional presents the Chilean dramas Ambar and Amanda from Mega, and TVN’s El Camionero.
Telemundo Internacional will be located in suite 2-3203 of the Tresor Tower at the Fontainebleau Hotel, Miami Beach, Florida.
