Renewals

Telemundo has greenlit a third season of its original series “La Reina del Sur,” starring Kate del Castillo as Teresa Mendoza. Also scheduled to reprise their roles are Isabella Sierra, Humberto Zurita and Kika Edgar. “La Reina del Sur” is a Spanish-language series based on a novel of the same name by Spanish author Arturo Pérez-Reverte. The third season will premiere in 2021.

First Looks

Netflix released a trailer for Season 5 of the Emmy-nominated series “Last Chance U,” which premieres July 28. The fifth season takes place in a new setting to give viewers a “raw, authentic look” at the junior football program at Laney College in Oakland, Calif., where its players navigate injuries and stress while finding support in the community.

Kate del Castillo, the star of La Reina del Sur, does not regret becoming a major player in the El Chapo saga but admitted that she “hated” the fact that she had to have a double for Mexico-set scenes of the Telemundo narco drama.

Del Castillo, speaking on day one of TCA, said that she was not able to shoot her scenes of the drama, which returns to the NBCU-backed Spanish-language broadcaster after eight years, because of “her little thing” with the drug lord. However, she revealed that she has since returned to Mexico.

The Jane the Virgin star helped set up a meeting between Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán in 2015 and Sean Penn in 2015. She was not charged with any crimes as a result of the incident but has accused former President Enrique Pena Nieto’s prosecutors of leaking information that she was linked to drug trafficking.

The original story, based on the novel of the same by Arturo Perez-Reverte, follows Mendoza’s climb to the top of the male-dominated Narco world that trafficked drugs on a global scale.

Joining Del Castillo in the new season, which shot on location in seven countries, are a mix of returning actors and new multilingual, international talent including Raoul Bova (Under the Tuscan Sun), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), Paola Nuñez (The Son), Antonio Gil (Quantum of Solace), and legendary novela actor Humberto Zurita.

The series will pick up eight years after the events of the finale where audiences learned that Mendoza was pregnant and unsure of her future. When La Reina returns, audiences learn she’s disappeared into the U.

Many thanks go out to Aaron Soto for passing along word of upcoming Mexican thriller Bajo La Sal (or Under The Salt), a dark murder mystery about to hit Mexican screens. Starring Humberto Zurita - a leading Mexican actor of the 70s and 80s - and Blanca Guerra - who you may remember from Santa Sangre - the film revolves around a series of corpses discovered buried in a salt mine. If the trailer is to be believed this is one seriously well made, very creepy piece of work and Warner Brothers’ Mexican arm certainly seems to think they’ve got a major picture on their hands here: they’re running the trailer for it in front of Mexican screenings of The Dark Knight.
