In its new original series, Mundos Extremos, Discovery en Español opens doors and gives viewers exclusive access to the most arcane, secret ways of life. This program takes viewers into the secret world of cults, political associations, spiritual congregations and other groups in Latin America that are objects for rejection and public ridicule, to learn about their daily lives and what drives them to live out their extreme existence.Nudists, Mennonites, Mormons, Sadomasochists, members of religious orders that practice self-flagellation are among the groups profiled in this series. Mundos Extremos premieres Wednesday, February 1 at 10pm ET/ 11pm PT.Divided into eight docu-reality episodes, Mundos Extremos delves into the heart of these and other little known communities in Latin America to learn what life is like for people who choose to violate social norms, either based on their own convictions or because they were born into groups with very specific lifestyles.Mundos Extremos is an original Discovery en Español production directed by Michela Giorelli, in collaboration with Endemol Argentina.
