LOS ANGELES: The U.S. Hispanic network MondoFox, which launched just last summer, has a hefty number of new programs coming to its schedule, including El Factor X, the Spanish-language version of the hit reality competition The X Factor.

In the fall, the network will begin airing Heaven’s Curse (La Maldicion del Paraiso), Trails of Blue Blood (Hilo Sangre Azul), The Mexican (Alias el Mexicano), Alicia’s Labrynth (El Laberinto de Alicia) and The Stylist (El Estilista). The fall schedule also includes Command Elite (Comando Elite), In the Wolf’s Mouth (En la Boca del Lobo), Dr. Mata, El Capo 3 and Cafe con Aroma Mujer. These offerings come to the network from RCN.

MondoFox has also expanded its slate of original stories coming from out of Mexico. Titles include Angel of Love (Amor Con Angel) and The Captain. The network is also focused on its weekend prime-time lineup. Slated for the weekends are The Bridge, a highly anticipated FX series, as well as Cumbia Ninja, Paramedics (Paramedicos), Luna, Corrido Stories (Historias de Corrido), Family for Sale (Familia en Venta) and Los Golden Boys.
