Canela Media announced the premiere of Secretos de Villanas, a new original unscripted two-part and ten-episode series, bringing together for the first time in the history of Hispanic television, six of the most iconic telenovela villains of all time: Aylín Mújica, Cynthia Klitbo, Gabriela Spanic, Geraldine Bazán, Sabine Moussier, and Sarah Mintz, formerly known as Maritza Rodríguez, in her first-ever appearance since her marriage and converting to Orthodox Judaism.
The Secretos de Villanas: El Reencuentro two-part episode will air on Canela.TV beginning October 20, followed by the eight-episode reality series continuation, Secretos de Villanas: Las Vacaciones, scheduled to air on a weekly basis thereafter.
The two-part, ten-episode series is produced by Canela.TV in partnership with Enrique Sapene, and Rubén Consuegra, of River Waves Production.
Isabel Rafferty Zavala, Founder & CEO of Canela Media, said “Novelas have been part of the Latino culture for many years bringing families together. With this series, we are looking to continue this tradition but with a modern twist inviting new generations to join this beloved Latino tradition.”
“We’re thrilled to dive into this new realm of original content for Canela.TV takes telenovela actresses and creates a vehicle for the audience to see them for who they really are as women for the first time ever on Spanish-language television. This is only the beginning of Canela.TV originals as we look to roll out new projects later this year and in 2023,” said Jerry Leo, Chief Content Officer of Canela Media.
