Here is the description for del Castillo’s character: “An elegant, beautiful, regal matriarch, Ramona Sanchez has the grace and quiet wisdom that belies a ruthless cunning below the surface. To the world, she’s a benevolent philanthropist, art collector, and loving aunt to a young child, but behind closed doors, she’s shrewd, powerful, and fiercely protective of her family, her business and her many dark secrets. Driven by the desire to seek out the right heir to continue her legacy, Ramona deftly manipulates everyone in her orbit to determine who are her allies and eliminate those who are her obstacles. Throughout the season, Ramona will sharpen her claws to ensure she gets what she wants and calmly eviscerates anyone who stands in her way without breaking a sweat.”

The only joy left in his life is his daughter, Violeta, whom he strives to protect above all else. But everything changes when Thony walks into his life, opening old wounds, reminding him of the family he once lost – and challenging him to be the person he could be.”
