Six-episode Montecristo is a modern take on the literary classic The Count of Montecristo by Alexandre Dumas. It’s the story of Alejandro Montecristo (William Levy), the enigmatic founder and CEO of a new technology company, whose success hides a desire for revenge.
Six-episode drama series Volver a Caer is a contemporary version of Leon Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. Kate del Castillo plays the lead role of Anna Montes de Oca, an Olympic gold medal-winning diver and Mexican national heroine who has an affair with a young musician (played by Maxi Iglesias).
