At 9pm/8c, the new Super Series®, Dinastía Casillas, premieres with a stellar cast and explosive drama filled with chaos ignited in the wake of Aurelio Casillas’s disappearance. This new chapter begins as Diana (portrayed by Isabella Castillo) and Ismael (portrayed by Iván Arana) embark on a mission to liberate Aurelio and Rutila, when a series of unexpected events force them to rethink their strategies and alliances. They must fight for control of the cartel in a world where enemies lurk around every corner. As old ghosts return and new conflicts emerge, their path leads them to a fiery confrontation against El Gancho’s cartel. For leverage in this battle, they seek the support of Elizabeth (portrayed by María Fernanda Yepes), Chema’s ex-wife, who sees the opportunity to leave her life in Milan and return to the underworld, fight for territories, gain power, and finally create an alliance with the Casillas. Will they manage to survive and reinvent themselves, or will their entire empire fall?
