Spanish-language streaming service ViX announced the start of production for “Lalola” in Mexico City. The new original romantic comedy stars Bárbara de Regil, Alejandro de la Madrid, Alexis Ayala, Gonzalo García Vivanco, and Cynthia Klitbo. Produced by Dori Media International, “Lalola” also features Carmen Madrid, Pamela Almanza, Majo Pérez, Chirstopher Aguilasocho, Alfonso Borbolla, Epy Velez, Lumi Cavazos, and Francisca Aronsson.
“Lalola” tells the story of how a successful man, who thinks he can use women to satisfy his ego, wakes up one day in the body of a woman, then seeks to reverse this and return to his original body while trying to protect his job and the relationships with his daughter, mother, and best friend. In this new reality, LaLola will suffer the consequences of machismo and must re-learn everything, from walking to navigating her way to work and, above all, the true meaning of love.
"ViX is thrilled to continue adding entertaining and engaging stories for our audiences and bringing together the best Spanish-language content creators under one roof. This original series is an adaptation of one of the most successful romantic comedy formats in Latin America, and we are sure viewers will love it," commented Vincenzo Gratteri, Senior Vice President of Development for ViX.
"At Dori Media, we are very pleased that ViX has considered us to produce ‘Lalola,' which is one of our best series that we have produced and sold worldwide. A production team has been put together with a lot of experience and also a lot of young talent, and a spectacular cast and direction. Together with Nadav Palti at Dori Media, we are also very pleased with Atenea Media’s high level of production in Mexico," said Joshua Mintz, Chief Content Officer at Dori Media, and one of the producers alongside Ana Celia Urquidi. Francisco Franco Alba and Ana Lorena Pérez Ríos will direct the series.
