Telemundo Begins Production of Hit Super Series SENORA ACERO 3, LA COYOTE

Continuing the success of seasons one and two, Telemundo announced the production kick off of "Señora Acero 3, La Coyote," starring Sergio Goyri, Carolina Miranda, Luis Ernesto Franco, Adrián Di Monte, Laura Flores, José María Torre and Alejandro Speitzer. Also returning this season is Litzy, Lincoln Palomeque, Jorge Zarate, Michel Duval, Mauricio Henao, Ana Lucía Domínguez, Oscar Priego, Rodrigo Guirao and Alberto Agnesi. Written by Roberto Stopello and directed by Danni Gavidia and Daniel Aguirre, the production is set on the border between El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua and will be filmed entirely in Mexico.

"Señora Acero 3, La Coyote" narrates the story of Mexican immigrants and their struggle to reach the American Dream. In their journey, they will need to avoid getting caught by Border Patrol, or even worst, by gangs of drug traffickers who kidnap them and use them as slaves in the illegal narcotics business.

Carolina Miranda makes her Telemundo debut as Vicenta Rigores, a courageous and wild beauty who stands out in the male-dominated smuggling world as the most feared and notorious coyote on the US-Mexican border. Because she understands that the only crime most immigrants commit is having been born on the wrong side of the line dividing the two countries, she is willing to risk her own life to protect them. Vicenta hates drug traffickers that infest the border region, never suspecting that she is directly related to one of Mexico's most powerful drug trafficking families - she is the bastard daughter of Vicente Acero (Damián Alcázar), the father of Salvador Acero (Michel Duval), the only heir, until now, of the Acero dynasty.

Renowned actor Sergio Goyri joins the Telemundo SUPER SERIES™ as Chucho Casares, one of the most powerful drug kingpins in Northern Mexico, infamous for providing arms to cartels, terrorists and even the Mexican army. In public, Chucho is a charming family man and model husband, but behind his easy smile is a bloodthirsty, cruel and merciless man who will make Vicenta's life a living hell.

Luis Ernesto Franco plays Daniel Phillips, an honest and dedicated Homeland Security officer whose fairness, nobility and sense of duty put him at odds with Vicenta and her "career" choice. Committed to defending their respective territory and notions of justice, Daniel and Vicenta are on opposite sides of the border, but gradually, come to understand the other's point of view.

Vicenta's first real love is Abelardo Casares, played by Adrián Di Monte, a shy young man who remains faithful to his values and principles despite being the son of the drug lord Chucho Casares. Abelardo disapproves of his father's business and the way he treats other people. He has a good head on his shoulders, and he won't hesitate to defend his ideals.

In addition to its lead cast, the series features a stellar supporting cast that includes Adrián Cue, Aurora Gil, Citlalli Anaya, León Peraza, Oka Giner, Patricia Navidad, Roberto Wohlmuth, Rosario Zúñiga, Susana Lozano and Shalim Ortiz.

"Señora Acero 3, La Coyote" is an original Telemundo production filmed by Argos Televisión, with Mariana Iskandarani and Marcela Mejía as executive producers.
