Telemundo announced the exclusive signing of renowned actress Marjorie de Sousa. The actress will star in Telemundo’s upcoming original production Al Otro Lado del Muro (On the Other Side of the Wall).

“I am beyond grateful to Telemundo for believing in me as an actress and as a professional,” said de Sousa. “I welcome the challenge of this role, and I am excited to be part of the number-one primetime Spanish-language network in U.S. Hispanic television.”
“We are thrilled to have Marjorie join the Telemundo family,” said Luis Silberwasser, president of Telemundo Network and Universo Channel. “She’s a talented, multi-faceted actress and we are confident she will be a great addition to our extensive high-profile talent roster.”
