Production is now underway in Mexico on Telemundo’s “Dinastía Casillas,” the next high-stakes saga in the network’s iconic Super Series franchise.
Starring Iván Arana (“El Señor de los Cielos,” “La Jefa”) as the infamous Ismael Casillas, María Fernanda Yepes (“Sin Senos No Hay Paraíso,” “José José: El Príncipe de la Canción”), Raúl Méndez (“El Señor de los Cielos”) and Isabella Castillo (El Señor de los Cielos, Sed de Venganza), the series is a continuation of “El Señor de los Cielos” – the longest-running scripted franchise on Spanish-language television.
In the series, the unrelenting game of power and betrayal ensues for the Casillas after the disappearance of their patriarch, Aurelio. The new chapter begins as Diana and Ismael Casillas embark on a mission to liberate Aurelio and Rutila, when a series of unexpected events force them to rethink their strategies and alliances. They must fight for control of the cartel in a world where enemies lurk around every corner. As old ghosts return and new conflicts emerge, their path leads them to an explosive confrontation against El Gancho’s cartel. For leverage in this battle, they seek the support of Elizabeth, Chema’s ex-wife, who sees the opportunity to leave her life in Milan and return to the underworld, fight for territories, gain power, and finally create an alliance with the Casillas. Will they manage to survive and reinvent themselves, or will their entire empire fall?
“‘Dinastía Casillas’ marks a bold new era for one of our most iconic franchises,” said Javier Pons, Chief Content Officer & Head of Telemundo Studios. “With a stellar ensemble of both returning and new talent, gripping storytelling, and the high production values our audience expects, this new chapter will not only reignite the passion of longtime fans, but also captivate a new generation of viewers.”
“Returning to the role of Ismael Casillas is both a privilege and a thrilling challenge,” said Iván Arana. “This new chapter pushes every boundary of power, loyalty, and survival, while plunging audiences into a world of gripping suspense and relentless action. It’s a bold evolution of the Casillas story, full of twists and intensity from the very first moment.”
