Party of Five was one of the first great successes of the Sony channel in Latin America. A family series that was moving away from the simple stories of classics such as “Family ties” to face the real problems of young people and teenagers growing up in the ‘ 90.Fue one of the great successes of critics and audiences of the Decade, with six seasons that are broadcast around the world between 1994 and 2000. Also functioned as a springboard for actors and actresses as Neve Campbell (Scream), Jennifer Love Hewitt (I know what you did last summer) and Matthew Fox (Lost).
In 2020 Party of Five came back from the hand of their original creators, Amy Lippman and Chris Keyser, and with a surprising change: the series will be now starring an exclusively latino cast, since the characters are descendants of Mexicans. The key of the original version of Party of Five was forcing this clan of brothers to grow without the support of parents, who died in a car accident before the start of the series. In this new version the parents will be deported to Mexico, and series deals directly with migrant conflicts that are part of the daily political debate in the United States of Donald Trump.Para add authenticity to her story, Lippman and Keyser allied with one of the major representatives of the latino Hollywood film: Rodrigo García, the son of Gabriel García Márquez who directed films such as “With only look” and episodes of several series of HBO. In a clear tribute to Garcia, the leading family name father will be Buendia, the same clan of 100 years of solitude.
The Salinger leave place to the Buendía – two families with surname literary elder brother, protagonist of the series, will be Brandon Larracuente, who played Jeff Atkins on 13 Reasons Why, and the mysterious Ben in the last two seasons of Bloodline, while the paper that was Neve Campbell in the original will be the Dominican Emily Tosta, who dazzled as Leticia Cruz at the recent Mayans M.C.La series will air in the United States next year through the channel Freeform, which does not have international Repeater. However, several of the series of this channel are through Amazon Prime in Latin America.
