Pantaya Showcases Complex Mexican Culture With 'Toda La Sangre'; To Star Aaron Diaz and Ana Brenda Contreras

Pantaya, the premier destination for Spanish-language series and movies, returns with its new project titled "Toda la Sangre."

The upcoming crime-thriller, based on the best-selling novel series by Mexican author Bernardo Esquinca, explores Mexico's complex cultural heritage through crafting memorable characters and imagery throughout its run.

Mexican actor Aaron Diaz, known for his roles in "Barrera de Amor" and the ABC thriller "Quantico," will be leading the series as Eugenio Casasola.

The decorated actor will portray a journalist who teams up with Lieutenant Edith Mondragon, played by Ana Brenda Contreras, previously known for her roles in the telenovela "Teresa" and The CW series "Dynasty."

Together, they will investigate a series of gruesome murders that resemble ancient Aztec ritualistic sacrifice set in modern-day Mexico City.

The new series "Toda la Sangre" is a premium project from the streaming platform, together with STARZPLAY and Spiral International. It is produced by Fremantle Mexico and directed by Luis Prieto and Hari Sama.

Prieto has gained recognition for his works on the theatrical feature "Kidnap" and TV series "White Lines" and "Snatch." On the other hand, Sama became known for his award-winning film "This Is Not Berlin."

Fremantle's upcoming ten-episode series will be distributed internationally and developed and produced by executive producer and showrunner Zasha Robles of Spiral International, the creator behind the Emmy Award-winning "Falco."

"We are extremely lucky to be working with such talented creators... who together, are the dream team in the creation of our Aztec thriller - Toda la Sangre," Robles said in a statement.

"We are extremely proud of the team Zasha has assembled to bring 'Toda la Sangre' to life, with A-list talent both behind and in front of the camera," Pantaya Head of Content Mario Almeida added.

Superna Kale, STARZ President for International Networks, noted that "'Toda la Sangre' features an incredibly talented creative team and cast who will bring this sophisticated story set in Mexico and against some of the most iconic architecture in Mexico City to life."
