"Like Water For Chocolate." Those with a Max subscription can yearn for the forbidden romance between a couple who is torn apart by an arranged marriage through this new adaptation of the classic novel by Laura Esquivel that's produced by Salma Hayek. Speaking of the star producer, when CinemaBlend spoke to two of the series’ leads about this exciting project, they shared how Hayek welcomed them and how that led to a funny text miscommunication.
Salma Hayek’s latest producing credit leans into her Mexican roots as she has worked behind the scenes to bring a new version of "Like Water For Chocolate" to audiences over 30 years after the magical realism classic was turned into a movie. Andrea Chaparro, who plays Gertrudis, shared how Hayek first greeted the Spanish-language cast to the show.
