In anticipation of its newly announced premiere date of Tuesday, December 6 at 10pm/9c, Telemundo rolls out an exclusive digital prequel to the Super Series EL CHEMA via Telemundo.com, VOD and the Telemundo Novelas app. With a script by writer Luis Zelkowicz, the "capítulo cero" (chapter zero) gives fans an exclusive look at El Chema's backstory and what the character has been doing between the end of "El Señor de los Cielos" and the start of the new series. Starring Mauricio Ochmann, Mariana Seoane, Julio Bracho, Itatí Cantoral, Carmen Aub, Alexandra de la Mora, Arcelia Ramírez and Sergio Basáñez, the Super Series is directed by Danny Gavidia and Nicolás Di Blasi, and produced by Mariana Iskandarani and Patricia Benítez.
"El Chema" tells the story of how Chema Venegas (Ochmann) got his start in organized crime and rose through the ranks to become the head of the cartel he runs in "El Señor de los Cielos." El Chema began breaking the law at a young age, transporting marijuana across the US-Mexican border when he was just a boy. Little by little, he worked his way up to become a successful and skillful leader, earning his place through bloodshed and brutality, in the history of drug trafficking. Since he was a young man, El Chema has been one of the most important public enemies of both the US and Mexican governments.
