Paramount+ will debut the Spanish-language series The Envoys (Los Enviados) in the U.S. on January 20, 2022.
Co-produced by Juan José Campanella and his production company 100 Bares, The Envoys stars Luis Gerardo Méndez and Miguel Ángel Silvestre as two priests on a mission to Mexico. Upon arrival, they learn that the priest they are looking for has disappeared. The cast also includes Irene Azuela.
The series is directed by showrunner Campanella with Martino Zaidelis, Camilo Antolini, and Hiromi Kamata.
Campanella commented, “It’s a dream come true for Los Enviados to premiere outside of Spanish-speaking countries for global audiences on Paramount+. It’s the perfect place to showcase the series and the effort of everyone involved in this project, just as it deserves.”
Silvestre added, “I’m very proud of working for VIS in a production of such dimensions. I’m very happy to belong to this project and that this content is part of Paramount+.”
I am really looking forward to this drama. Luis Gerardo Mendez has become one of my all-time favorite Mexican/Latin American actors and this dramatic series looks captivating. With Campanella’s production team at the helm, I am sure they will raise the bar in Spanish language programming. Latin America, overall, is really emerging as a music and film powerhouse — so much talent from so many countries — in the 21st Century.
