TelevisaUnivision's “Travesuras de la Niña Mala” to star Macarena Achaga

TelevisaUnivision confirmed that Macarena Achaga will star in its upcoming romantic series, “Travesuras de la Niña Mala” (Bad Girl). The title will launch on ViX+, the new global Spanish-language subscription streaming service scheduled to launch in July. Adapted from the 2006 novel written by Mario Vargas Llosa, “Travesuras de la Niña Mala” is set to be produced by W Studios. The original series is the first of two book adaptations from Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa set to appear exclusively on the new SVOD tier. ViX+ will also adapt Mario Vargas Llosa’s comedic novel “Pantaleón y las visitadoras," translated as "Captain Pantoja and the Special Service," as an exclusive Spanish-language series.

 The title tells the epic love story between Arlette, a nonconformist and adventurous woman, and her teenage love, Ricardo, a man trapped in a predictable routine, who, thanks to Arlette, slowly learns to get out of his comfort zone. These two characters’ lives will intertwine over forty years through reunions across Lima, Paris, Madrid, Tokyo, London, and more. 
 
“’Travesuras de la Niña Mala’ proves that my purpose of seeking equity and projection of our female voices attracts characters ready for anything, questioning everything at all times,” said Macarena Achaga. "This time, I will be a voice that comes from the 60s that I got through the people I love and respect most in the industry. Overwhelmed with pride, I can’t wait to share this journey of rebellion and revolution with lots of love to the world from ViX+.”
