​Another remake of a beloved telenovela is making its way to Univision. Los Hilos del Pasado, a new adaptation of the hit 1990s Televisa telenovela El Privilegio de Amar, will make its debut on Univision primetime before airing in Mexico.

Filming is still underway primarily in Mexico​, with additional international scenes in Miami, Milan, and Lake Como, Italy​,​ and U.S. audiences will get the first look​ when the melodrama premieres September 10 at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT on Univision​. It will stream on ViX ​t​he next day.​

Headlining the production is Yadhira Carrillo (Amarte es mi pecado, Barrera de amor), who returns to television after a 17-year hiatus. The actress​ takes the lead as Carolina, a fashion designer whose life unravels when she unknowingly encounters the daughter she was forced to abandon two decades earlier. That daughter is Cristina, portrayed by Bárbara López (Desenfrenadas, Señorita 89).

The ensemble cast includes Eduardo Santamarina (La desalmada, Buscando a Frida), David Zepeda (Mi fortuna es amarte, Pienso en Tí), and Emmanuel Palomares (La herencia, Vivir de amor).

In this version, Carolina is married to Manuel, a successful music producer. She vehemently opposes a romance between Cristina and Carolina’s stepson, Carlos (Palomares). What Carolina doesn’t realize is that Cristina is her long-lost daughter, leading her to confront the past to heal her family.

Producer José Alberto “El Güero” Castro is banking on the enduring appeal of this storyline, which traces its roots to Delia Fiallo’s 1985 Venezuelan telenovela Cristal. Televisa produced two Mexican remakes before Los Hilos del Pasado: El Privilegio de Amar in 1998, starring Helena Rojo and Adela Noriega, and Triunfo del Amor in 2010, featuring Victoria Ruffo and Maite Perroni.

ViX streamed other successful remakes earlier this year, including El Extraño Retorno De Diana Salazar​ and Con Esa Misma Mirada​, which also marked the return of former telenovela star and Mexico’s former first lady Angélica Rivera to the small screen.

The U.S.-first rollout ​of Los Hilos del Pasado​ — airing on Univision’s broadcast network with next-day ViX streaming — reflects TelevisaUnivision’s bet on both traditional TV viewers and the growing streaming audience.
