The uniquely funny coming-of-age series, Gordita Chronicles, starring Diana Maria Riva (Dead to Me), Juan Javier Cardenas (The Walking Dead) and Olivia Goncalves will premiere on Binge later this month.
The year is 1985 and Cucu “Gordita” Castelli (Goncalves) has just said goodbye to all of her friends and family in Santo Domingo and moved to Miami with her marketing executive father Victor (Cardenas), bold and vivacious mother Adela (Riva), and status-obsessed older sister Emilia (Savannah Nicole Ruiz). While life in America is far from what they imagined, the Castellis are determined to take charge of their strange new world.
Gordita Chronicles is about family, opportunity, love, resilience, and boldly defying the status quo in pursuit of the “American Dream.” Eva Longoria directed the pilot and will serve as executive producer for UnbeliEVAble Entertainment. Claudia Forestieri wrote the pilot and will serve as executive producer.
