HBO Max premieres ‘Colisión’, its first original Mexican telenovela

HBO Max has released ‘Colisión’, its first original Mexican telenovela. The series explores a power struggle within a family business, centered on the conflict between a daughter, Zoé, and her mother, Belén.

Based on works by Spanish author Corín Tellado, the production features Macarena Achaga and Margarita Rosa de Francisco. The series aims to modernize the telenovela genre by moving away from traditional romantic tropes to focus on visceral mother-daughter dynamics, mental health, and grief. The production utilizes a cinematic approach, directed by three different filmmakers to provide a more dignified portrayal of the genre.
