Pasiones has signed a deal with Televisa to acquire Latin American rights to a package of hit telenovelas, among them Corazón Salvaje (Wild Heart), Sortilegio (Spell) and Triunfo del Amor (Love’s Triumph).Corazón Salvaje premiered on Pasiones in Latin America last Tuesday, February 10 (time varies by country).Starring Aracely Arámbula, Eduardo Yáñez, and Cristian de la Fuente, Corazón Salvaje tells the story of a young boy separated from his parents when he was a child, who grows up vowing to seek revenge against the man who wronged his father.

Corazón Salvaje was a ratings sensation—during its Mexican premiere, the novela achieved a 42.1% audience share among households in its first week. “This deal is significant, as it marks the start of a strategic relationship with Televisa, the leading Latin American media company. We are excited to be in business with Televisa and look forward to expanding our relationship,” said Alan J.
