(Miami, FL) Los Simuladores (The Pretenders), the acclaimed television series from Mexico produced by Sony Pictures Television (SPT), will premiere in the United States on November 15 exclusively on the nation's leading Spanish-language movie channel, Cinelatino.

Shot entirely in high definition, the acclaimed production features a strong cast of prominent Mexican actors, including Tony Dalton (Matando Cabos, 13 Miedos, Sultanes del Sur), Arath de la Torre (La Parodia, La Hora de La Papa), Ruben Zamora (7 D�as, Pasi�n) and Alejandro Calva (The Producers, The Pillow Man, Sin Memoria).

Based on the popular Argentine series of the same name, Los Simuladores centers on the adventures of four operatives, trained and prepared to carry out sting operations. Far from solving "end-of-the-world" problems, they put their skills to work solving human-interest conflicts for their clients, including issues such as troubled marriages, dangerous loan sharks, swindling agents and broken hearts.

The team of Simuladores is made up of Mario Santos (Tony Dalton), the brain, who comes up with the plans; Emilio Vargas (Arath de la Torre), the chameleon, who plays different characters in the operations; Pablo L�pez (Alejandro Calva), the go-to man, in charge of logistics and all technical aspects; and Gabriel Medina (Ruben Zamora), the researcher, who finds all the necessary data for Santos to come up with the plans.

"This is the highest-caliber premium series currently available to U.S. audiences in Spanish, and we're excited to offer it exclusively to our viewers," said Jim McNamara, Chairman of Cinelatino. "The superb production values, excellent cast, and compelling story lines make this THE must-see series of the season."

The series also features a variety of well-known guest stars, including Natalie Esperon (Por un Beso, La Esposa Virgen and El Nombre del Amor), Rafael Amaya (Las Dos Caras de Ana and Amor Letra Por Letra), Silverio Palacios (Morirse en Domingo, Amor a Morir, Matando Cabos) and Adal Ramones (Otro Rollo con Adal Ramones).

Los Simuladores debuted in Mexico on Televisa and throughout Latin America on Sony Entertainment Television in late 2008. After a highly-successful Season One, a second season of Los Simuladores began production earlier this year.

Los Simuladores is the second premium series to air on Cinelatino. The channel premiered the award-winning series Tiempo Final in the spring of 2009.

The first two episodes of Los Simuladores will premiere on Cinelatino on Sunday, November 15, at 7 p.m. EST and will repeat at 11 p.m. EST (4 p.m. and 8 p.m. PT). A new episode will air every Sunday at 7 p.m. EST and will repeat at 11 p.m. EST (4 p.m. and 8 p.m. PT) throughout the season. Season one of Los Simuladores consists of 13 episodes. Cinelatino has plans to air Season Two in early 2010.
