What happens

Cuna de lobos (English: Den of Wolves) is a Mexican thriller telenovela created by Carlos Olmos and produced by Carlos Téllez for Televisa. It was originally broadcast by Canal de las Estrellas (now known simply as Las Estrellas) between 1986 and 1987. It focuses on the struggle for power within a wealthy Mexican pharmaceutical dynasty. Departing from the conventions of contemporary telenovelas, Cuna de lobos features elements of irony and murder, and it was the first Mexican telenovela broadcast in a primetime evening slot. The series stars Gonzalo Vega as José Carlos, Diana Bracho as Leonora, Alejandro Camacho as Alejandro, Rebecca Jones as Vilma, and María Rubio as the matriarch Catalina Creel. Cuna de lobos was a ratings success in its native Mexico and Rubio's performance received particular attention. Such was her character's popularity that signs read Catalina Creel for President the day after the finale. The show was also broadcast in other countries such as Germany and Brazil and inspired a loose adaptation in Spain. A pilot was filmed in 2010 for a new show titled Por derecho de sangre, but it never went to series. A remake titled Cuna de lobos premiered on Televisa in 2019. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
