Great news for Lucha Underground they are now set to return for
a second season in 2016 some time on the El Rey Network. The
following was issued about it.
EL REY NETWORK, MARK BURNETT AND UNITED ARTISTS MEDIA GROUP
GREENLIGHT SECOND SEASON OF 'LUCHA UNDERGROUND'
Professional Wrestling Series Goes Back Into Production In
Fourth Quarter 2015
Austin, TX– September 21, 2015 – El Rey Network and Emmy
Award®-winning producer Mark Burnett and United Artists Media
Group today announced that the Lucha Libre wrestling series
"Lucha Underground" will return for a second season. The action
packed, character-driven series will go back into production in
the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles in the fourth
quarter of 2015 and will premiere on El Rey Network in early
2016.
"We brought together some of the best athletes from lucha libre
and wrestling to fight in Los Angeles this year on 'Lucha
Underground'. It was fresh, it was compelling and it got the
attention and created buzz across the entire wrestling world,"
said Executive Producer Mark Burnett.
El Rey Network Chairman and Founder Robert Rodriguez, said: "The
explosive combination of athleticism and storytelling makes for
such great television and I'm so pleased that this legendary
wrestling tradition will continue to have a home on El Rey
Network."
Ancient tradition, extraordinary athleticism, and a flare for
theatrics combine in El Rey Network's wrestling series, "Lucha
Underground". The riveting original introduces American
audiences to the high-flying aerial maneuvers, slingshot moves,
dramatic masks, intricate, rapid-fire combinations and
distinctive wrestling techniques of lucha libre, one of Mexico's
most popular sports. Fans will have a ringside seat as masked
villains and heroes face off to battle for wrestling supremacy.
It provides enthusiastic viewers with an incredibly visceral and
explosive experience with a focus on the artistry, originality,
intense action and over-the-top characters that has come to
define this phenomenal fan-favorite. A celebration of lucha
libre's long-standing Mesoamerican heritage and culture dating
back to 1863, this is programming that must be seen to be
believed.
"Lucha Underground" is produced by United Artists Media Group in
association with FactoryMade Ventures and AG Studios for El Rey
Network. Executive producers are Mark Burnett, Eric Van Wagenen
(also showrunner) and Brian Edwards of United Artists Media
Group; Dorian Roldán from Lucha Libre AAA; Alejandro Garcia and
Antonio Cué Sánchez-Navarro from AG Studios; El Rey Network
co-founder Robert Rodriguez; and FactoryMade Ventures and El Rey
Network co-founders John Fogelman and Cristina Patwa. The series
will be distributed internationally by United Artists Media
Group.
