The series Maradona: Sueño Bendito, produced by BTF Media in co-production with Dhana Media and Raze, will follow the success and challenges of the legendary soccer player and will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 200 countries.

“It is amazing to record all the experiences that, until today, continue to enrich the life of Maradona and it is exactly what we want the audience to value. This story is for everybody, not only soccer fans will understand, but also the dedicated mother who gave her life up establishing her son´s dream as her priority, the way Mrs. Tota did with Diego,” commented Mari Urdaneta, SVP and Chief Content Officer at Raze and executive producer of the series together with Francisco Cordero from BTF Media, Liliana Moyano from Dhana Media and Luis Balaguer from Raze.

Alejandro Aimetta is the showrunner and one of the writers, together with Guillermo Salmerón and Silvina Olschansky (El Marginal). Aimetta also directs the episodes shot in Argentina. The production team of the series is comprised by Rodrigo Pulpeiro (Un Cuento Chino) as Director of photography, Connie Balduzzi (Operación Finale) is the costume designer, Sebastián Orgambide (El Clan), Art Director and Santiago Guevara (Once) is the line producer.

As had been previously announced, Nazareno Casero (Historia de un Clan), Juan Palomino (Magnífica 70) and Nicolás Goldschmidt (Supermax) will interpret the role of the soccer player throughout his life. Julieta Cardinali, Mercedes Morán, Pepe Monje, Peter Lanzani and Laura Esquivel will also appear in the series.
