'Dueños Del Paraíso' Spoilers & Cast News: Why You Should Watch Kate Del Castillo's Comeback Show
Kate del Castillo is set to dominate the small screen once again as she stars in a drama series titled "Dueños Del Paraíso (Owners of Paradise)".
In the new Telemundo show, the Mexican actress portrays Anastasia Cardona, "a woman who faces a battle for vengeance and survival and takes the reins of a business that will make her extremely powerful but at the expense of finding true love," reported Latin Times. It may sound similar to her role as Teresa Mendoza in "La Reina del Sur," but the show will offer new elements that will make fans fall for del Castillo even more, Latin Times added.
Pablo Illanes, which the news outlet dubbed as "one of the best telenovela writers," wrote the original screenplay of "Dueños del Paraíso." Among the writer's most notable works are huge remade hits "Piel Canela," "Machos," "Versus," "Destinos Cruzados," "Alguien Te Mira," and "¿Dónde Está Elisa?"
The new series will also dabble on drug trafficking, a genre which TV viewers are used to. "Dueños del Paraíso" would probably highlight the negativity of this issue, but the show will also feature action-packed storylines.
Cast and plot
Oscar-nominated actress Adriana Barraza will also have a part in the teledrama. According to another report from Latin Times, the actress plays the role of Irene Medrano, a former prostitute who is also the mother of Anastasia Cardona (played by del Castillo). Barraza's character becomes pregnant by accident and will have a hard time raising her daughter. Years later, she would have the teenage Anastasia sexually exploited "to try to lift them out of poverty."
All grown up, Anastasia becomes "the widow of a Miami drug lord who teams up with cocaine traffickers to take on a rival cartel," NY Daily News reported.
The series which is reportedly inspired by real life events, will have 63 episodes added NY Daily News.
"Dueños del Paraíso" is co-produced by Chile's TVN and Telemundo. Aside from Del Castillo and Barraza, the show also star José María Torre ("Corona De Lágrimas"), Guillermo Quintanilla ("El Señor De Los Cielos"), Tony Dalton ("Rebelde"), Miguel Varoni ("Marido En Alquiler"), Maxi Iglesias ("Física o Química"), Juan Pablo Llano ("Una Maid En Manhattan"), Ximena Duque ("Corazón Valiente"), Geraldine Bazán ("Victoria"), and Tiago Correa ("Infiltradas"). Jorge Zabaleta is also included in the cast as Conrado San Miguel.
"Dueños del Paraíso" airs Mondays to Fridays at 10 PM ET/PT on Telemundo.
