'Silvana Sin Lana' Telenovela: Carlos Ponce, Maritza Rodriguez Star In New Telemundo Soap

After starring in the ABC sitcom "Cristela," Carlos Ponce returns to telenovelas with "Silvana Sin Lana." Joining the actor is Maritza Rodriguez, who is currently seen on Telemundo's "El Señor De Los Cielos" Season 4.

The romantic comedy tells the story of Silvana “Chivis” (Rodriguez), a wealthy woman who loses everything she has and is forced to move to a working class neighborhood. In here, she meets Manuel Gallardo (Ponce), a fishmonger with a strong dislike for the upper class. The two will need to do the impossible in order to resist their mutual attraction, which goes against their beliefs and the world they grew up in.

Ponce will give life to Manuel, a widower with four children and works hard selling fish for a living. Even though Manuel promised his children that he would never marry again and has learned to be happy by himself, his promise will be put to the test when Chivis moves in next door and challenges all of his prejudices toward rich people.

"Silvana Sin Lana" is an original story by Rodrigo Bastidas and Elena Muñoz, adapted by Sandra Velasco and directed by Luis Manzo and Ricardo Schwarz.

Production of "Silvana Sin Lana" is already underway in Miami, Florida with a stellar cast.

Oscar-nominated actress Adriana Barraza joins the cast by playing Trinidad “Trini” Altamirano de Rivapalacios, mother to Chivis, and the judgmental grandmother of the Villaseñor sisters. In denial of her new economic situation, she will struggle to accept her family’s new lifestyle and will arrive to her new neighborhood thinking she can boss around its residents.

The cast also includes Marimar Vega, Ricardo Abarca, Eduardo Ibarrola, Javier Valcarcel, Thali Garcia, Marcela Guirado, Alexandra Pomales, Vince Miranda, Patricio Gallardo, Samantha Dagnino, Raury Rolander, Briggitte Bozzo, Santiago Torres, Roberto Escobar and many more.

"Silvana Sin Lana" is set to premiere in the coming months on Telemundo, with the date and time yet to be determined.
