MIAMI, FL – DECEMBER 1, 2023 – SE LLAMABA PEDRO INFANTE, the new ViX original bioseries about the Mexican icon Pedro Infante, premieres all its eight episodes tomorrow, Friday, December 1 on the service’s premium plan. The first episode will be available to watch free on ViX the day of launch and it will be debuting tonight in Mexico on las estrellas channel at 11 pm.

SE LLAMABA PEDRO INFANTE begins in 1917, in a distant town in Sinaloa where a poor and hopeless child is born. Pedro Infante, a dreamer, in love, and always with a broken heart, never gave up on being someone exceptional. The promise he made to his mother led him to become the ultimate star of the music and silver screen of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema; his songs and characters went around the world, and when he seemingly had it all, he found a tragic death. The series will be an opportunity to discover the true story of Pedro Infante, the Mexican idol no one has seen before.
