NBCUniversal Telemundo: estrenos de alto impacto

Javier Pons, vicepresidente ejecutivo de Telemundo Studios.

En su participación en Content Americas y NATPE Global, NBCUniversal Telemundo busca consolidar su posición como líder en la producción de contenido hispano con el lanzamiento de dos nuevas ficciones: La jefa y La mujer de mi vida. Ambas producciones destacan por su elenco estelar, historias cautivadoras y ambición internacional.

La jefa: una superserie con un mensaje de empoderamiento

La jefa, la nueva superserie de Telemundo, fue grabada en el último trimestre del año pasado y marca un nuevo hito para el canal. Con Fabiola Guajardo en su primer rol protagónico y Iván Arana, conocido por su trabajo en El señor de los cielos, la serie promete capturar la atención de las audiencias con una historia que celebra la fuerza y resiliencia femenina.

‘Estamos emocionados por La jefa, nuestra nueva superserie. Una historia centrada en una mujer fuerte y resiliente que resonará profundamente con nuestra audiencia, y que los cautivará desde el primer episodio’, expresó Javier Pons, vicepresidente ejecutivo de Telemundo Studios.

El proyecto representa un cambio significativo para Guajardo, conocida por sus papeles como antagonista en melodramas de TelevisaUnivision como Los ricos también lloran y Enamorándome de Ramón. Este debut como protagonista reafirma su versatilidad y talento actoral, convirtiéndola en una de las figuras más prometedoras de la industria.

La mujer de mi vida: un melodrama clásico con un elenco estelar

Por su parte, La mujer de mi vida, una telenovela original de Mario Schajris y producida por Miguel Varoni, ha demostrado ser un éxito desde su estreno en México en octubre de 2024 por Canal 9 de TelevisaUnivision.

Protagonizada por Iván Sánchez y Angélica Celaya, esta historia de amor y traición está respaldada por un elenco de alto nivel que incluye a Mauricio Islas, Catherine Siachoque, Rodrigo Murray y Norkys Batista en los roles antagónicos. La telenovela, que combina elementos tradicionales del melodrama con una narrativa contemporánea, es una apuesta clara por conquistar tanto al público nacional como a las audiencias internacionales.

Un enfoque global

Con La jefa y La mujer de mi vida, NBCUniversal Telemundo refuerza su compromiso con la calidad y la innovación en la ficción hispana. Estas producciones no solo reflejan los valores de la marca, sino que también buscan resonar con una audiencia global, aprovechando los foros de Content Americas y NATPE Global como plataforma para expandir su alcance
