Telemundo's LA QUERIDA DEL CENTAURO Ranks as #1 Spanish-Language Program in Key Demos

TELEMUNDO's "LA QUERIDA DEL CENTAURO" was the #1 Spanish-language program at 10pm among adults 18-49 and adults 18-34 for the week of January 25-29, according to Nielsen. Starring Humberto Zurita, Ludwika Paleta and Michel Brown, the Super Series averaged 1,010,000 adults 18-49 and 440,000 adults 18-34 for the week, outperforming Univision's "Hotel de los Secretos" in the 10pm hour, +5% and +10% respectively. "La Querida del Centauro" illustrates the innovative concept of the Telemundo SUPER SERIES - faster paced, action-packed and shorter scripted drama series designed to return for multiple seasons, placing Telemundo at the forefront of Spanish-language television in the United States.

"La Querida del Centauro" follows the story of Yolanda (Ludwika Paleta), an attractive and intelligent recluse. While in jail, she becomes THE MISTRESS of one of Mexico's most notorious drug traffickers, Benedictino García (Humberto Zurita), alias "El Centauro." Though this relationship gives Yolanda a lot of power while she is in prison, it becomes her worst nightmare once she is released thanks to the INTERVENTION of Gerardo (Michel Brown), a detective committed to the fight against drug trafficking. With El Centauro a fugitive, Gerardo decides to use Yolanda as bait in an operation to track down his hideout.

Produced by Teleset and Sony for TELEMUNDO, with a script by Lina Uribe (Más sabe el diablo) and Darío Vanegas (El Mariachi), the Super Series is directed by Mauricio Cruz (La Reina del Sur, Doña Bárbara) and Javier Solar (Camelia la Texana) under the executive supervision of Gabriela Valentán (La Patrona) and Daniel Ucros (El Mariachi).
