EXCLUSIVE: William Levy (Star, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter) is taking the lead in the newly announced dramatic thriller Montecristo, from Pantaya and Secuoya Studios. The series is set in Havana, Madrid, and Miami.
The series, based on Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo, tells the story of Alejandro Montecristo (Levy), an enigmatic figure who bursts into the public eye and raises concerns amongst the world’s elite because of the mysterious origins of his fortune.
He is the founder and CEO of a new technology company that has incited the envy and interest of many, among those is Fernando Alvarez Mondego – a businessman connected to the Spanish aristocracy who wants to acquire the Montecristo startup. What Fernando doesn’t know is that Montecristo is someone he knew decades ago and the reason for his emergence is fueled purely by revenge.
“I’ve been drawn to the story of The Count of Montecristo since my youth,” Levy tells Deadline in an exclusive statement. “He’s a mysterious figure driven in his pursuit of justice and vengeance, which are powerful themes that resonate universally. I am so thrilled to be partnering with Secuoya Studios and Pantaya to bring this story to life in a way that has never been seen before.”
Adds Mario Almeida, Head of Content for Pantaya, “Montecristo is our newest modernized premium classic series. This story of vengeance and passion has unforgettable characters at its core, and the new take on this timeless story is brilliantly conceived. We feel there is no better partnership to serve revenge coldly.”
Levy began his career in the Spanish-language market where he quickly catapulted to one of the most sought out talents where he remains today. He expanded his reach with U.S. audiences

She said that she is not going to watch ‘Pam & Tommy’ and she does not want her kids to watch it either. She didn’t want money from this – she didn’t want it to be made in the first place and she is not going to respond to it.”
