Get ready for a wild ride! A new show called ‘Dinastía Casillas’ is about to hit screens on October 7th. It’s a spin-off from the popular series ‘El Señor de los Cielos,’ and it promises more action and mystery. The story picks up with "Aurelio Casillas" missing. Now, a new leader must step up. This person needs to find Aurelio and claim leadership for the family.
That leader is "Ismael Casillas," played by Mexican actor Iván Arana. The trailer for the first episode already shows his bold and determined spirit. He is ready for this big challenge. By his side, he’ll have "Diana Ahumada," a strong and brave character. Cuban-American actress Isabella Castillo brings Diana to life. You can check out the exciting preview yourself here.
Both stars recently spoke with US Weekly En Español. They highlighted just how much ‘Dinastía Casillas’ will change things compared to ‘El Señor de los Cielos.’ They said fans won’t even guess what’s coming next. Isabella Castillo, who is 30 years old, shared her excitement. She explained that without Aurelio and Rutila, the Casillas family is left open and vulnerable. But this new show lets viewers see how well Ismael and Diana work together. She added that they will find new friends, and the story will connect in amazing ways.
"When I read the script, I just said, ‘What is happening? I couldn’t believe it!’" Castillo recalled. "I think the audience will feel the same way, especially with the first episode." She also promised a lot of action, where only the toughest, quickest, and smartest characters will make it. She hinted, "What you least expect to happen… will happen."
A Fresh Chapter for the Casillas Family
The lead actors agree that a major difference in this new story comes from the fresh faces joining the cast. Iván Arana, 38, highlighted the show’s strong ensemble. He said ‘Dinastía Casillas’ features a cast that has truly added value to the project. He enjoys watching how characters grow and react to life’s challenges. He thinks this makes the show exciting for the audience, especially since many have followed these characters for years.
Isabella Castillo firmly stated that ‘Dinastía Casillas’ is a "completely different universe." It introduces many new characters. But don’t worry, some familiar faces will return, like "Chacorta," played by Raúl Méndez.
Arana also mentioned the fun side of filming such an action-packed series. Even with all the gunshots and intense scenes, he explained that actors can’t stay serious all the time. "It’s a lot of fun because there needs to be a contrast," he shared. "We have to laugh, we have to go out, so we really have a good time on set."
‘Dinastía Casillas’ will premiere on Telemundo. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, October 7th, at 9 PM/8C. Fans of ‘El Señor de los Cielos’ are eagerly waiting. That show had an incredible run of nine seasons, from 2013 to 2024. Now, it’s time for the new generation to take the spotlight.
