Samadhi Zendejas and William Levy star in "Vuelve a Mi."
For its upfronts earlier this year, Telemundo announced William Levy was joining its star roster line-up in the new original romantic series Vuelve a Mi. Well the network announced the show premieres October 9 at 9 pm ET/PT.
In Vuelve a Mí, Levy is Santiago, whose love interest is actress Samadhi Zendejas, in her first leading role as Nuria.
The drama, set in Ciudad de Juárez and Ciudad de México, follows Nuria, a woman of humble means, who begins a relationship with Braulio (Ferdinando Valencia) without knowing he is one of the owners of the company where she works to support her son and sister. The lives of the main characters begin to intertwine after the tragic kidnapping of Nuria's son Andrés. And when she least expects it, Santiago (Levy) enters her life to become the great love of her life and the pillar that keeps her hope alive.
“We have put a lot of passion into this project and are looking forward to sharing it with the world,” says Levy. The series debut marks the return of the Cuban American actor to Telemundo, where he participated in two early network reality shows Isla de la Tentación and Protagonistas de Novela 2 in 2003.
Since then, he's made a career and rose to fame in several Televisa telenovelas that also aired on Univision, like Cuidado con el Angel, co-starring with Maite Perroni and Sortilegio alongside Jacqueline Bracamontes, among performances in other productions. He has also done films in English and starred and produced one himself, En Brazos de un Asesino.But it appears the actor's lifeblood continues to be being a leading man on romantic dramas.
For Zendejas, who got her start in Televisa's teen soap Atrévete a soñar a decade ago, and has had a series of main and recurring roles in other shows, this could be her big break into the world of leading ladies of telenovelas.
Vuelve a Mí, produced by Telemundo Global Studios at Telemundo Center’s soundstages in Miami, also stars Laura Flores, Christian de la Campa, Rodolfo Salas, Geraldine Galván, Amaranta Ruíz, Christian Ramos, Anthony Álvarez, Anna Sobero, Ariana Saavedra, with special participations by Fernando Ciangherotti and Diego Klein, and André Sebastián.
This original story is written by Sergio Mendoza and Amaris Paez, and directed by Danny Gavidia, Felipe Aguilar and Uandari Gómez. The direction of photography is by Damian Aguilar and José Velarde, with Pedro De Larrechea as production designer. Telemundo’s Karen Barroeta, Ximena Cantuarias and Elizabeth Suarez serve as the production's executive producers.
Audiences will be able to watch episodes live on Telemundo and stream the next day on the Telemundo app and Peacock.
