Plot Synopsis

Executive produced by Eva Longoria and Zoe Saldana, THE GORDITA CHRONICLES is a comedy series set in 1985 when 12-year-old Cucu "Gordita" Castelli has just said goodbye to all of her friends and family in Santo Domingo and moved to Miami with her marketing executive father Victor, bold and vivacious mother Adela, and status-obsessed older sister Emilia. While life in America is far from what they imagined, the Castellis are determined to take charge of their strange new world. A uniquely funny coming-of-age series, GORDITA CHRONICLES is about family, opportunity, love, resilience, and boldly defying the status quo in pursuit of the "American Dream." Longoria directed the pilot. All 10 episodes of GORDITA CHRONICLES dropped on Thursday, June 23, 2022 on HBO Max.
