The Max Original comedy series, Gordita Chronicles, from Sony Pictures Television, debuted on Thursday, June 23 on HBO Max. All ten episodes were released. It comes from Guardians of the Galaxy’s and Star Trek’s, Zoe Saldanã and Desperate Housewives’ Eva Longoria.
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 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. A uniquely funny coming-of-age series, Gordita Chronicles is about family, opportunity, love, resilience, and boldly defying the status quo in pursuit of the “American Dream.” Watch the trailer below:
