RCN Studios: historias premium con ADN latino

Alexander Marín, director de RCN Studios

En un contexto de inversión continua y la integración de talento internacional, Estudios RCN desembarca a los LA Screenings 2026 atravesando lo que su director, Alexander Marín, define como ‘un momento crucial en la historia de la compañía’. 

En un reciente diálogo con Prensario, Marín subrayó que los resultados actuales son apenas el comienzo de lo que viene para la productora. El ejecutivo destacó que el trabajo dedicado ha llevado a una posición de mercado significativamente mejorada, logrando captar la atención de los principales actores de la industria digital. Esta consolidación se ve respaldada por la presencia de ejecutivos de plataformas SVoD y la incorporación de talento proveniente de Colombia, Estados Unidos y otros territorios, un factor que, según confirma el éxito de su expansión.

Para respaldar esta nueva etapa, Estudios RCN presenta un catálogo robusto y diverso, encabezado por historias profundamente arraigadas en la cultura latinoamericana pero diseñadas con estándares globales. En el terreno del melodrama musical, la compañía apuesta por la fuerza del romance y las narrativas biográficas. Por un lado, destaca Darío Gómez, el rey del despecho (90 episodios de 45 minutos), una producción que retrata la vida del icónico cantante, marcada por la tragedia y su lucha contra las adversidades para transformar su dolor en éxito. Por otro lado, la belleza de México y Colombia se combinan en La Hija del Mariachi (80×45′), una apasionante historia de amor, redención y acción ambientada en el bar Plaza Garibaldi, donde colisionan los mundos de una cantante colombiana y un empresario mexicano fugitivo.

El drama con tintes biográficos también dice presente con Rigo (90×45′), una inspiradora historia basada en la vida y carrera del exitoso ciclista Rigoberto Urán. La trama explora los orígenes de este joven antioqueño, destacando su optimismo inquebrantable y el motor de sus tres grandes amores: su padre, arrebatado por la violencia; Michelle, la mujer de su vida; y la bicicleta que lo catapultó como un ícono del deporte mundial.

Paralelamente, el portafolio de RCN explora temáticas contemporáneas y el suspenso psicológico a través de narrativas con fuerte protagonismo femenino. En el género del dramedy, Las de Siempre (91×45′) propone una mirada moderna a la vida adulta, siguiendo a cuatro amigas en sus cuarenta que, apoyadas en la solidaridad, buscan derribar estereotipos y rehacer sus vidas, generando conversación sobre los retos de la mujer actual.

En un tono diametralmente opuesto, el thriller dramático La Sustituta (51×60′) presenta a la actriz Majida Issa en el rol de Eva, una siniestra empleada doméstica que soporta maltratos mientras fragua un oscuro complot psicológico para intercambiar su vida con la de su atormentada patrona, Victoria. El misterio se vuelve aún más complejo cuando los planes de Eva colisionan por casualidad con la obsesiva búsqueda de una psiquiatra por encontrar a su paciente desaparecida.

Darío Gómez (80×45) The king of the broken hearts.

Darío’s life is marked by tragedy. At just 17, he accidentally kills his own father, and a witch condemns him to a life of suffering, foretelling that he will lose the people he loves most and that his destiny is to die alone and forgotten. Bearing the weight of this curse, Darío travels to Medellín to start a new life and carve out a path in the music world, fighting to achieve his dream despite relentless adversity—enemies along the way, the deaths of his loved ones under the strangest circumstances, and heartbreaks that become the fuel he needs to create a new musical genre and pass into eternity as the one and only, incomparable King of Heartbreak.

Best Friends Forever (80×45)

The story of four college friends who believe that at 40 they have everything figured out, but suddenly see their lives fall apart. An “executive Barbie” discovers that her “perfect” marriage and career were a sham; a single mother finds no meaning in her life when her deaf daughter decides to study abroad; the happy wife of a “Prince Charming” discovers that the love of her life is a narcissist and stalker; and an eternal teenager faces a controversial pregnancy as an “older mother.” Together, they must pick up the pieces, rebuild their lives, and find happiness in the process.

The Mariachis Daughter (80×45)

ROSARIO GUERRERO is the new face of mariachi music, a powerful voice fighting to be heard in a world that has traditionally been male-dominated.
The stage of the ranchera bar PLAZA GARIBALDI is where Rosario declares her love in song to FRANCISCO LARA, a transgressive Mexican who breaks boundaries and fuses mariachi with other genres. The volcanic love between this couple unleashes a war between Francisco and “EL COLOSO”, a ranchera purist who lost Rosario in that same bar and is willing to fight to the death to get her back.
But beyond El Coloso, the future between Rosario and Francisco is in danger by the Mexican singer’s secret: he is a fugitive named EMILIANO SÁNCHEZ GALLARDO, accused of laundering money for the mafia and murdering a man, crimes for which he is wanted by INTERPOL and the mafia itself, as Emiliano struggles to prove his innocence and it becomes imperative to “silence” him.

 

Crimson Red (80×45)

Juana and Jorge are a young couple striving to make their innovative makeup venture, Crimson Red, succeed. In their search for better opportunities for the brand, they face professional temptations and long-buried family secrets that put their relationship to the test. Jorge is seduced by Valeria, leading to their separation, while Juana finds support in Marcelo. As their lives move forward on separate paths, destiny brings them back together, strengthening their love and inspiring a renewed commitment to be together once again.
