March 22, 2013
“Mia Mundo” returns for a second season on Telemundo.com’s , www.miamundo.com . The surprising new episodes feature a new look, logo, and visual style. The new season will be introduced by a “Mia Mundo” season one daily marathon beginning on Monday, April 15 – leading into the season two premiere on Thursday, May 2.
The second season of original, dramatic short-form webisodes from Telemundo Media offers a complete 360° experience that will organically integrate General Motors products into the series storylines. Novela star Ximena Duque joins the cast this season, alongside Bravo Media star Jenni Pulos (“Flipping Out” and “Interior Therapy”), who returns in the recurring role of “Amy,” leading lady Jacqueline Marquez in the role of “Mia” and novela actors Jose Guillermo Cortines, Sofia Lama Stamatiades, Melvin Cabrera, Monze Martinez and Martha Velasco in supporting roles. As the first series in NBCUniversal’s history to feature English-language crossover stars, the bilingual English/Spanish web series became one of the most watched and successful web series of all time, topping 153 million impressions in 13 weeks during the first season run.
“With ‘Mia Mundo,’ Telemundo set out to break new ground through an innovative genre of compelling storytelling that resonates with both our English and Spanish speaking audiences and brings the best brands and our brightest stars together in an exciting platform,” said Jacqueline Hernández, Chief Operating Officer, Telemundo Media. “We are very proud that our first foray into bilingual branded entertainment programming has been so warmly embraced by our ambicultural audience and are thrilled to be bringing it back for a second season.”
The multiplatform series was born out of exclusive research from the Beyond Demographics™Latino Identity study conducted by Telemundo Media and Starcom Mediavest Group, a groundbreaking approach to understanding the various psychographic segments of U.S. Hispanics in America today.
The first season introduced audiences to Mia Ramirez, (named after the research study’s Modern Independent Achiever) and her quest to find balance in life and love. This season finds Mia, an entertainment editor of an online magazine (and admittedly, a workaholic), getting married. Just a few short months from her wedding, she discovers that her fiancé Ryan has a 14-year-old daughter he never knew about. Now, she finds herself suddenly struggling to win the heart of a feisty teenager. Will Mia be ready for marriage and motherhood? In the new season, the journey of Mia, her friends, and co-workers will be presented in 21 four-to-five-minute webisodes, posting twice per week on Telemundo.com.
