Caracol Begins Filming La Ley Secreta

Caracol Televisión has started filming the hour-long series La Ley Secreta, which will bring to the screen for the first time the real story of an all-female special police team.

The production will be ready for 2018. Shot on location in 4K, La Ley Secreta will feature a cast that includes Viña Machado (The White Slave, Pursuit of a Dream), Juana del Rio (Against our Destiny), Luna Baxter (The Goddess), Valeria Galvis, Tommy Vásquez (Pablo Escobar, The Drug Lord), Luis Mesa (Surviving Escobar, Alias JJ), Katherine Vélez (The Girl), Variel Sánchez (The Girl), Ricardo Vesga (The White Slave) and Juan Manuel Mendoza (The Girl), among others.

Juliana Barrera (The White Slave) will produce the series. Andres Beltran (Surviving Escobar, Alias JJ), Mateo Stivelberg (The White Slave) and Carlos Mario Urrea (Made in Cartagena) will direct.

Lisette Osorio, Caracol Internacional’s VP of sales, said, “We are very happy to announce to our clients that we started shooting La Ley Secreta, the first of the new super series we’ll present next year. La Ley Secreta will capture the attention of international audiences because of its perfect combination of drama and action, based on a solid story arising from a Caracol News investigation on intelligence female agents infiltrated in the most dangerous criminal networks. We are certain this series will ratify us not only as market leaders but also as a company constantly innovating its slate and reinventing itself to bring original stories to the whole world.”

Barrera added, “This is a cops and robbers story looked at from a feminine and contemporary standpoint where what matters more than action itself are the emotions that it gives rise to. Fear, doubt, the guilty feeling for having abandoned their loved ones to commit to the mission they are engaged in…the risk of being involved in the life of dangerous and often very, very attractive individuals…all those are feelings with which the viewer can easily identify, added to a plot full of intrigue and action, eccentric narcos and incredible lives that our four main characters must live to infiltrate themselves in the lives of their targets, make La Ley Secreta a different product with a mix I consider a winning one!”
