Telemundo Studios has announced the beginning of filming for the new original production, “Señora Acero,” starring Blanca Soto in her network debut. Written by Roberto Stopello (“La Reina del Sur”) and directed by actor and director Miguel Varoni and Walter Doehner (“La Reina del Sur”), the super series features a stellar cast, including Andrés Palacios, Rebecca Jones and Litzy, and the special participation of Damián Alcázar. Filmed on location in different locations surrounding Mexico City, "Señora Acero" tells the story of Sara Aguilar Bermúdez (Blanca Soto), a beautiful, charismatic and intelligent woman who goes from being a housewife with an ordinary life to a person capable of shaking the very foundations of her country’s government.

After the shocking murder of her husband, Vicente Acero, Sara learns that he was not the man she thought he was. From that moment on, Sara and her son must run for their lives to evade the authorities and Victor’s enemies.

Early on in her new and more complicated life, Sara meets Aracely (Litzy), a lovely young woman who becomes her best friend. Aracely is generous and passionate but has a terrible addiction to drugs. She helps Sara find her first job at a hair salon run by Enriqueta (Rebecca Jones), a professional con artist who performs illegal and dangerous plastic surgeries and is also corrupt.

Little by little, life’s twists and turns transform Sara from a sweet and gentle mother into a strong-willed and distrustful woman. Love returns to her life in the form of Eliodoro Flores Tarso (Andrés Palacios), a brilliant, calculating and intuitive policeman who accompanies her on her path to power until she becomes “the queen of organized crime.” Sara has two formidable weapons – her beauty and her intelligence – that help open doors for her in a hostile world. She soon becomes infamous as “Señora Acero,” (the “Woman of Steel”), until the day that the president of a Mexican Republic puts a price on her head.

“Señora Acero” is an original Telemundo Studios production filmed by Argos Televisión, with Martha Godoy (“La Reina del Sur”, “El Señor de los Cielos”) as executive producer. In addition to the lead actors, the production has a star-studded supporting cast, including special appearances by Arap Bethke and Rossana San Juan alongside Marco Pérez, Jorge Zárate, Carmen Madrid, Arturo Barba, Luciana Silveyra, Valentina Acosta, Pilar Ixquic Mata, Andrés Zuñiga, Viviana Serna, Juan Carlos Martín del Campo, Aurora Gil, Alejandro Caso Hector Berzunza, Sergio Lozano, Iñaki Goci, Alex Perazza, Raul Aranda Lee and Alan Castillo.

Telemundo revealed their upcoming program line-up at its upfront presentation in New York on Tuesday, May 13, including five new telenovelas: ‘Señora Acero’, ‘Los Miserables’, ‘Dueños del Paraíso’, ‘Tierra de Reyes’, and ‘El Jardinero’.

‘Señora Acero’ (Mrs. Acero), written by Roberto Stopello, the writer of Telemundo's blockbuster hit ‘La Reina del Sur’, tells the story of Sara Aguilar Bermudez, played by acclaimed Mexican actress Blanca Soto. Sara is a woman who goes from being a housewife living an ordinary life to being the person capable of shaking the foundation of the Mexican government. After her husband, Vicente Acero, is killed at their wedding, our heroine finds out Vicente was not the man she thought he was and, in fact, lived a double life. Her life becomes a race to evade the authorities and her husband's enemies, and along the way, becomes the "queen of organized crime."

‘Los Miserables’ is an original story by Valentina Parraga, inspired in the literary work ‘Les Misérables’ by Victor Hugo. The modern day spin on the classic tale stars top Mexican actress Aracely Arambula (La Patrona) as Lucia "Lucha" Duran, an innocent woman wanted by the law, who has to fight fiercely and stay hidden, until she is able to prove her innocence to her pursuer Daniel Ponce, the harsh chief detective of the narcotics unit, a man she will love as she has never loved anyone else before.

‘Dueños del Paraíso’ (Owners of Paradise), an original story by Pablo Illanes, inspired by real-life events during the height of the 1980s drug trade era in Miami, marks the return to Telemundo of renown actress Kate Del Castillo (La Reina Del Sur) as Anastasia Cardona, the widow of a well-known Mexican drug lord who has become psychologically disturbed by the violence that has surrounded her. When she partners up with two local cocaine traffickers to take on the Santa Norma cartel, they become the target of the so-called drug wars, transforming the streets of South Florida into a terrifying battlefield.

‘Tierra de Reyes’ (Land of Kings), an adaptation of the successful novela ‘Pasión de Gavilanes’ by Julio Jimenez, tells the story of the Gallardo brothers as they search for truth and justice after tragically and mysteriously losing their sister. On their journey, each falls in love with the daughters of the man suspected to be responsible for their sister's death.

‘El Jardinero’ (The Gardener) tells the story of Carlos Martinez, an illegal immigrant living in Los Angeles. Carlos is an honest, hard-working man who aspires to offer his two sons a better future so that they can enjoy the opportunities he never had. In their quest for the American dream, father and sons will face the hatred and dangers within a city where the glamour of Hollywood often contrasts with the difficult life of the millions of undocumented Hispanics in the area. El Jardinero is a production inspired by an original story created by Roger L. Simon, an accomplished novelist and writer who has been involved in many successful projects, including the following films: A Better Life, Scenes for a Mall and Enemies, a Love Story.
