HBO Original Series LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE Debuts November 3 On Max

This New Adaptation Of Laura Esquivel's Iconic Novel Stars Irene Azuela, Azul Guaita, Ana Valeria Becerril, And Andrea Chaparro, Alongside A Stellar Cast

The HBO Original series LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE debuts SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3 on HBO Latino in the U.S. and will be available to stream globally on Max where the platform is available. New episodes will debut weekly. An original production from Warner Bros. Discovery, the series is produced by Ventanarosa Productions, Endemol Shine North America, and Endemol Shine Boomdog.

LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE explores the idea that sometimes traditions can become a prison, an obstacle for love. Tita de la Garza and Pedro Múzquiz are two souls deeply in love, yet unable to be together due to entrenched family customs. The protagonists navigate a world of magical realism and rich flavors as Tita struggles between the destiny imposed on her by her family and her fight for love. Along the way, the audience will witness her greatest refuge: the kitchen. For Tita, her magical connection to cooking becomes an active resistance against oppression, allowing her to channel her deepest desires and passions into her recipes, transforming those who taste them.

Set during the Mexican Revolution, the series also addresses the struggle of women to control their own destinies. The breathtaking locations in Tlaxcala and Mexico City provide an authentic and powerful backdrop for this adaptation of a beloved Mexican literary classic.

Leading the exceptional cast is Irene Azuela as Mamá Elena, with Azul Guaita portraying the beloved character of Tita. Ana Valeria Becerril gives life to Rosaura, Tita's sister and rival in love, while Andrea Chaparro plays Gertrudis, another sister of Tita's. Andrés Baida plays Pedro, the object of both Tita and Rosaura's affections, Ángeles Cruz plays Nacha, Tita's cook and mentor. Mauricio García Lozano appears as Don Pedro Múzquiz, Ari Brickman is Don Felipe Múzquiz, and Louis David Horné as Juan Alejandrez.

LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE, is executive produced by Salma Hayek Pinault, José Tamez, and Siobhan Flynn for Ventanarosa Productions; Sharon Levy, Lisa Fahrenholt, and Flavio Morales for Endemol Shine North America; Alejandro Rincón, Jerry Rodriguez, Clara Machado, and Manuel Vargas, who oversees physical production, for Endemol Shine Boomdog; and Mariano Cesar, Mônica Alburquerque and Anouk Aarón for Warner Bros. Discovery. Francisco Javier Royo Fernández (Desaparecidos, Capitán Alatriste), known as "Curro Royo," also serves as executive producer and head writer. He is joined by series' scriptwriters María Jaén (Com si fos ahir, Madres. Amor y Vida), and Jimena Gallardo (Ingobernable, Como dice el dicho).

LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE reminds us that courage, passion, and a good dish can make the impossible possible.
