The third season of one of the most anticipated TV broadcast series stars superstar Kate del Castillo and actor Pepé Rapazote(Queen of the South, Shameless). Season three of La Reina del Sur is produced by Telemundo and Netflix and it again has become a ratings juggernaut for the Spanish language network. The previous season two of the series was one of the most successful in Telemundo’s history, and this season might just match those ratings.
Fans and newcomers to the international Emmy Award-winning series can expect the highest level of drama, action and adventure as the Legendary Teresa Mendoza embarks on her most dangerous adventure yet, even if it means burning her fabled throne as La Reina to succeed.
“This epic saga continues filled with action, suspense and adventure, revealing Teresa Mendoza´s new purpose and putting her abilities, grit and cunning to the test,” said Karen Barroeta, EVP, Production and Development at Telemundo Global Studios. “Kate del Castillo remains a big part of why the series continues to broaden its appeal among and beyond our Spanish-speaking viewers.”
Season 3 opens four years after enthralling events of the season 2 cliffhanger when Teresa-who is living an idyllic life on a beachside hideout with her daughter-sees military forces coming after her. Teresa Mendoza is now behind bars in the U.S for the murder of three DEA agents. Stripped out of her freedom, she´s separated again from her beloved daughter, Sofia.
