Telemundo Reveals Date For ‘La Reina Del Sur’ Season 2, Will Air Series With English Captions

The long awaited return of La Reina del Sur has a date. Almost a decade since Telemundo aired the ground-breaking series – the most successful of its history – the network revealed Season 2 of Teresa Mendoza’s saga will premiere Monday, April 22 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Telemundo also plans to go after a broader audience, making the series available with English-language closed captions (CC) on TV and subtitles across all platforms including Telemundo App, VOD and Telemundo.com.

The network has big hopes for the series that reshaped its 10 p.m. programming strategy to edgier dramas, eventually leading Telemundo to ratings dominance in that timeslot. After several years of Telemundo holding on to ratings dominance at the end of primetime, rival Univision has taken the lead once more since it began airing Amar a Muerte in October. Telemundo hopes to regain its perch at 10 p.m. with La Reina del Sur.

Leading up to the premiere of the second season, Telemundo will air a special edition of 35 condensed episodes from the 2011 series on Monday, March 4 at 10 pm ET. Fans can also go to Netflix to binge on the entire 63-episode series.

Kate del Castillo is back as Teresa Mendoza, in one of the most iconic roles of her career.

“Teresa means a lot to me. It’s the role that allowed me to conquer the medium in a way that impacted my life,” says del Castillo. “Audiences… will experience first-hand why the original series still reigns supreme in this genre.”The long awaited return of La Reina del Sur has a date.
