BBC acquires international series Senorita 89 and KaDeWe – Our Time is Now
Senorita 89 comes from showrunner Lucia Puenzo and explores the dangerous underworld of Latin America’s beauty pageant culture in the 1980s.
Behind the smiles, beauty and bright lights, there is a dark and disturbing world of manipulation and abuse.
The eight-part series follows promising beauty queens from all over Mexico who are taken to an ominous ranch in the middle of the forest, where they must stay for three months to be in with a chance to be crowned the next Miss Mexico.
