“I’m thrilled to be working with Tr3s in an area I’m so passionate about!” said Mario Lopez. “I’m very excited to be working with Mario and Tr3s on this project. We want fans to get an inside look at a fighter’s life as he negotiates, trains, and mentally prepares to step into the ring on fight night. Golden Boy Promotions is extremely happy be able to showcase some of our best fighters on the new show,” said Oscar De La Hoya.

“The Chisme Club” shares witty comedic banter from infamous Latino personalities and stand ups who reveal their favorite and most absurd ‘pop culture’ news. Personalities include the Mob Wives Rene Graziano and Mayte Garcia, as well as “The Latin Divas of Comedy” Sandra Valls and Sara Contreras, “Broads of Broadway” comedian Cristina Galston, Showtime Comedy Special headliner Joey Medina, and comedian Eric Nieves, among others.

Three new realities star acculturated Hispanic Millennials. Under the production of 51 Minds, “Latino Boot Camp” will connect young Latinos to their roots through an eye-opening encounter with their ancestors in Latin America, and in the female-driven competition “From Chongas to Reinas” rough Latinas are transformed into well-mannered queens, with plenty of cattiness and drama in between. The new comedic series “Culture Swap,” produced by RelativityREALL, stars two young adults (one Latino) with very different cultural backgrounds that switch lives for a week of exposure to another world.

After achieving ultimate stardom in Latin America with a booming career in music, film and television, social media magnet Dulce Maria has her eyes set on conquering the US. “The Dulce Maria Show” follows the triple-threat’s departure from her beloved family and fans, to new-found independence, a new language and a new culture in Hollywood. Under the production of Ennovva, the new show is set to premier fall 2012.

The new suspense thriller novela “Ultimo Ano” is set in the world of adolescence, and driven by a conniving foreign exchange student who tries to deceive and manipulate the lives of his new host family and friends. The co-production with MTV Latin America introduces a first-ever initiative uniting network writers and researchers from Population Media Center (PMC) to produce entertainment-education content, where characters will be developed to evolve into role models for the audience, encouraging the adoption of healthier behaviors to benefit individuals and their societies. Series is produced by Argos Productions and set for spring 2013.
