Filmed in Miami, with Mary, Mother of God, Telemundo and VIP 2000 TV, co-producers of the project, are setting a precedent by being the first to reimagine biblical stories in an innovative format designed for mobile devices.

This co-production with Telemundo Studios continues the vertical integration that VIP 2000 TV began earlier this year in Miami, reinforcing our commitment to innovative formats. Each franchise brings its own unique and special voice. At VIP, religious content has always been a cornerstone of our catalog and co-productions, and we deeply believe in the value of this niche. That's why these biblical love stories have all the elements to achieve global success,” stated María Eugenia Muci, Director of Content at VIP 2000 TV.
