The series "Cóyotl: hero and beast" will premiere on February 27 on the Max platform. This project, according to actors Paulina Gaitán and Alejandro Speitzer, is an opportunity to immerse oneself in a complex story full of brave characters that reflect Mexican identity.
Alejandro Speitzer emphasizes that "Cóyotl" is a survival story that captures the spirit of the Mexican people and connects deeply with the national audience. On the other hand, Paulina Gaitán provides balance in the plot by portraying Jennie, a woman who faces an environment of violence and oppression.
The series narrates the story of Lupe, a young man who becomes the Cóyotl, a man-beast who fights for justice in a corrupt and dangerous environment in northern Mexico. Alejandro Speitzer's transformation into this character involved long makeup sessions and a deep connection with Mexican traditions.
Although the plot involves themes of organized crime and violence, "Cóyotl: hero and beast" goes beyond by introducing elements of fantasy, mystery, and action. The series does not glorify criminals but highlights the courage of ordinary people who fight for a greater good.
During filming, the actors faced challenges and funny anecdotes, but they felt satisfied to be part of a project that authentically reflects Mexican reality. Paulina Gaitán and Alejandro Speitzer hope that the audience enjoys this series, which promises to surprise and impact with each episode.
