Telemundo announces the return of internationally acclaimed actress Kate Del Castillo to television, in the network’s super series “Dueños del Paraíso” (Masters of Paradise). In partnership with Facebook, an innovative multi-platform campaign kicks-off with a first-look official preview of the series, available for 24 hours exclusively on Facebook.com/DuenosParaiso. “Dueños del Paraiso” is an original Telemundo Studios co-production with Television Nacional de Chile with a screenplay by Pablo Illanes ("¿Dónde está Elisa?") and directed by Lilo Vilaplana (“El Capo”) and Nicolás Diblasi (“Una Maid en Manhattan”). The super series is currently shooting on location in Miami and Chile and slated to premiere in early 2015. “Dueños del Paraíso” features an ensemble cast of nearly 30 actors, and is based on a story set in the late 1970s and early 1980s, that tells the story of Anastasia Cardona (Kate del Castillo), a woman without a trace of innocence, whose life has been derailed by violence and poverty.
