HBO’s ‘Like Water for Chocolate’ Debuts Surreal Trailer as Executive Producer Salma Hayek Pinault Teases a ‘Completely Universal Forbidden Love Story’ (EXCLUSIVE)
'Like Water for Chocolate,' HBO's upcoming series executive produced by Salma Hayek Pinault, has released its official trailer.
Set during the Mexican Revolution in the early 20th century, the six-episode series follows Tita de la Garza (Azul Guaita) and Pedro Múzquiz (Andrés Baida), “two souls deeply in love, yet unable to be together due to entrenched family customs,” according to the show’s synopsis. Hayek Pinault believes the Spanish-language series will resonate not only with the Latino community — who she hopes will feel a “sense of pride” — but also with audiences around the world, as “Like Water for Chocolate” is “completely universal because it is a forbidden love story.” Sharon Levy, CEO of Endemol Shine North America and an executive producer of “Like Water for Chocolate,” said in a statement that it was “essential to find the right partners to bring Laura’s beloved novel to life in a truly authentic way.”
