Overview

El Maleficio is a Mexican telenovela produced by José Alberto Castro for TelevisaUnivision and originally broadcast on Las Estrellas from November 13, 2023, to March 3, 2024. It is a remake of the classic 1983 telenovela of the same name created by Fernanda Villeli. Adapted by Leonardo Bechini, the telenovela was directed by Carlos Cock Marín and stars Fernando Colunga, Marlene Favela, Julián Gil, Sofía Castro, Chantal Andere, Jacqueline Andere, Rafael Inclán, and Julio Vallado. The story follows Enrique de Martino, a wealthy and powerful businessman who secretly practices dark magic to achieve success and control those around him. After marrying the widowed Beatriz Almazán, he draws her family into a dangerous world of supernatural forces, occult rituals, and hidden conspiracies. As terrifying events unfold, Beatriz and her loved ones must confront evil, uncover long-buried secrets, and fight to break the curse that threatens to destroy their lives.

Why fans love it

This 2023 drama revisits the narrative foundation laid by the 1983 original, updating the exploration of occult influence within high-stakes corporate environments. Centered on the calculating Enrique de Martino, the series focuses on the friction between material ambition and the supernatural consequences of his secret path to power.

The tension builds as the domestic life of Beatriz Almazán is dismantled by the intrusions of her husband. Rather than relying on simple antagonism, the show examines how long-buried secrets and dark rituals fundamentally destabilize an entire family. It moves through the mechanics of a conspiracy where power requires a heavy, lingering price.
