Woman In Charge Coming Soon To Telemundo Across Africa

Telemundo, an American based entertainment channel offering telenovelas in English and Portuguese is set to rollout a new series titled Woman In Charge. Overseas this series is known as La Jefa which means The Boss in English.

Because Telemundo already has a series called The Boss (La Patrona), the channel will be distributing La Jefa as Woman In Charge.

Synopsis for Woman In Charge

Gloria Guzmán appears to have the perfect life: a successful career, a beloved son, and a wedding day with her fiancé, the high-ranking police commander Juan José Cruz. This dream life shatters when hitmen crash the wedding ceremony and murder her groom. 

Penniless and on the run from Tijuana with her young son, Daniel, Gloria begins an endless race for survival. She initially finds work in a beauty salon run by Maribel Ortiz, a con artist who performs illegal cosmetic surgeries, and forms alliances with other women there, Yadira and Laura. 

Her situation becomes more desperate when Daniel is diagnosed with juvenile diabetes, and she realizes she cannot afford his expensive treatment on a hairdresser's salary. This forces her to break into the criminal underworld of money laundering and drug trafficking. 

Using her intelligence, resilience, and beauty, she gains the mentorship and alliance of powerful cartel bosses, eventually earning the feared title of "La Jefa" (The Boss). As a powerful drug lord, she navigates a world of betrayal and violence, all while trying to defeat the enemies who made her life impossible and discovering a hidden, shadowy figure behind all her misfortunes. 

Based on the 2014 series Señora Acero (Woman Of Steel), it starred Fabiola Guajardo as Gloria Guzmán, Iván Arana as Eduardo Torres, Mauricio Henao as Mateo Restrepo, Azela Robinson as Maribel Ortiz and Andrés Almeida as Jacinto Ortega.

The revenge saga is not over once a Thirst For Revenge comes to a close as the story lives on with  Woman In Charge airing everyday at 10PM CAT from 26 January.
