another cartel winds up in an in-
ternal battle for control be-
tween the reigning queenpin
and the would-be queen. Tere-
sa's desire to carve out her own
cartel has its own challenges,
though still at the forefront is
the wrath of Camila, who feels
betrayed and desires vengeance
after an unforgivable act at the
conclusion of season 2.
"Queen of the South" may
seem fresh to North American
viewers, given that its premise is
a femme-led narco drama, but
the story itself has deeper roots,
both as a telenovela and as a
novel. Arturo Pérez-Reverte
Gutiérrez penned "La Reina del
Sur" in 2002. The book took off,
in large part due to a narrative
built upon truth, as the charac-
ter of Teresa Mendosa is based
on the real-life queenpin Marl-
lory Chacón, a name that may
be familiar given her implica-
tions with the Panama Papers.
Loose inspiration is all that's
there, however, as the series di-
verges quite a bit from what lit-
tle is actually known about
Chacón and her real-life empire.
This isn't the story's first time
as a TV series, either, with the
Spanish-language adaptation,
"Le Reina del Sur," having been
on air since February 2011.
There are subtle but distinct
changes between the two adap-
tations, perhaps the most nota-
ble being the nations to which
each Teresa flees. In the Spanish
adaptation, Spain becomes the
obvious choice for Teresa's get-
away, while the U.S. adaptation
places Teresa in the American
south. As far as Mexican tele-
novelas go, "Le Reina del Sur"
has made huge waves on Mexi-
can television, and is Telemun-
do's second most expensive
telenovela ever. The Mexican se-
ries has also garnered some
awards, snagging People in
Spanish Awards for Best Tele-
novela, Best Actress (Kate del
Castillo) and Newcomer of the
Year (Cristina Urgel) in 2011.
Although the American adap-
tation doesn't have quite the
same level of notoriety, what it
does possess is a stellar cast
that brings something new to
America's airwaves. While fe-
male-led involvement in the
crime world is often depicted in
a comedic or less-than-success-
ful fashion, "Queen of the
South" is propelled by its fierce
female leads.
