The Mexican Soap Opera Beating U.S. Shows–in the U.S. - Al Diablo con los Guapos

A Mexican program called “Al Diablo con los Guapos” is off to a big start in the U.S. this year on the Spanish-language channel Univision. The show is one of the top-rated in the 18-34 demographic among Spanish-language viewers, according to Nielsen. Some airings have draws more than 5 million viewers each night–at times, besting such shows as the CW’s “America’s Next Top Model.”

Roughly translated, “Al Diablo con los Guapos” reads “To Hell With the Handsome.” The show is a telenovela, essentially a soap-opera-style miniseries. It tells the tale of a tumultuous romantic relationship between an orphaned girl and a rich boy.

The show already had an audience from its run starting last year on Mexican television station La Canal De Estrellas. But its arrival in in the U.S. on Univision was the network’s biggest debut ever, according to the company. It continues to be Univision’s most popular program.”*
