Gordita Chronicles preview

Set in the year 1985, Cucu ‘Gordita’ Castelli is moving away from her friends and family in Santo Domingo to move to Miami with her vivacious mother Adela (Diana Maria Riva), marketing executive father Victor (Juan Javier Cardenas), and suddenly status-obsessed older sister Emilia (Savannah Nicole Ruiz).

Arriving in Miami, they instantly learn that America is far from what they imagined. Eventually, they realise that they have to start from scratch to take charge. Lighthearted and sassy, this refreshing new TV series about Gordita’s coming of age tale is about family, opportunity, love, resilience and boldly defying the status quo in pursuit of the ‘American Dream’.

Desperate Housewives’ Eva Longoria directed the pilot episode and serves as executive producer, alongside Josh Berman of Drop Dead Diva and CSI, as well as Jennifer Robinson and Chris King of Osprey Productions. Actress Zoe Saldana also executive produces for Cinestar Pictures.

How many seasons are there?

Only one season has been announced for the new comedy series so far. A new second season may be announced after the show’s premiere. For now, viewers can enjoy the first season, which consists of 10 episodes.
