Prime Video Mexico is firing up a new original series, “Mentiras,” based on the popular Mexican stage musical.
Singer-actor Belinda and Luis Gerardo Méndez lead a stellar cast that includes Mariana Treviño (“A Man Called Otto”), Diana Bovio (“Lecciones para canallas”) and Regina Blandón (“Maquíllame otra vez”).
Gabriel Ripstein, whose credits include series “An Unknown Enemy” (“Un extraño enemigo”) and Berlin best first feature winner “600 Miles,” created the series and will serve as director and showrunner.
“In this adaptation, we will pay tribute to a story and characters that the audience adores and expand their universe, thanks to a completely innovative visual narrative,” Ripstein said. “To bring this story to life, told with more than 30 of the most successful songs of the ’80s, we have assembled a spectacular cast and crew.”
The move comes despite system-wide cutbacks announced in January that have seen layoffs across Prime Video, Amazon MGM Studios and livestreaming platform Twitch.

All the Places (A Todas Partes) is a mexican movie directed by Pedro Pablo Ibarra starring Ana Serradilla and Mauricio Ochmann.
This tender story of a reunion between two siblings comes from Mexico with lots of sentiment and nostalgia and a big desire to make us have a good time in something between comedy and drama.
This is a story that works almost always and this time too.
A remake of 25 km/h.
This is a movie that treads a beaten path, does so well and this play to make us fall in love “invertedly” works. Not long ago we commented Raymond & Ray, another film that took a gamble on a reunion between siblings at the funeral of their father: same plot, but different result in the screenplay.
Here we go from drama to comedy, the same plots and the axis of a good dramatic comedy, with feelings and...
