Gordita Chronicles S1
The year is 1985 and Cucu “Gordita” Castelli (Olivia Goncalves) has just said goodbye to all of her friends and family in Santo Domingo and moved to Miami with her marketing executive father Víctor (Juan Javier Cardenas), bold and vivacious mother Adela (Diana Maria Riva), and suddenly status-obsessed older sister Emilia (Savannah Nicole Ruiz). While life in America is far from what they imagined, the Castellis are determined to take charge of their strange new world.
Executive produced by multi-award-winners Zoe Saldaña and Eva Longoria, Gordita Chronicles has a 100% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it “a big-hearted charmer.”
At the 2023 Image Foundation Awards, Gordita Chronicles was nominated for Best Primetime Comedy.
