Everything is ready for the upcoming premiere on Azteca América of the new production Cielo Rojo. The new drama marks the return of telenovela diva Edith González, who makes her debut in an Azteca production alongside leading man Mauricio Islas. For the first time, a telenovela will air in Mexico and the United States concurrently.We are very happy with this new project which, aside from launching simultaneously in both countries, is a very interesting telenovela with a great story and an excellent cast made up of actors many Latinos have grown up with and know well such as Edith González, Mauricio Islas, Hugo Stiglitz, and Regina Torné, among others. Cielo Rojo is a well-told and intense love story and everyone can identify with its universal themes, said executive vice president of Programming, Production and Marketing at Azteca América, Alberto Santini Lara, who is also general director of Azteca 13 and Azteca Novelas in Mexico.Cielo Rojo is directed by Rafael Urióstegui and starring a spectacular cast that includes, besides González and Islas, also Alejandra Lazcano, Andrea Noli, the return of Colombian actress Aura Cristina Geithner, and a great supporting cast.This telenovela will feature on-location shoots in scenic areas of Mexico including Mexico City and the states of Querétaro and Hidalgo.
