“It is a privilege to play the role of Ricardo Somocurcio, perhaps Mario Vargas Llosa’s most idealistic hero when it comes to love. A translator whose eternal love for ‘the bad girl’ transcends time and space”, said Juan Pablo Di Pace. “It is very exciting to play him from 25 to 55 years old – from the sixties to the eighties – in Paris, London, Mexico, Madrid and Tokyo, and speak Spanish, English and French. From one country to another, she will drive him crazy, but he will always follow her. In many ways the series is unprecedented, and I am very proud to be working on it with the brilliant ViX+. It really is my dream job.”
“Seeing the first scenes of this unique series filmed in Paris is a dream come true“, said Patrick Wills, president of W Studios. “With ViX+ we are producing this incredible series based on this beautiful book by Mario Vargas Llosa. Not only are we shooting in the original locations in Europe, but we will be able to accurately represent an era that marked a drastic change in world culture.”
“I am delighted and grateful to be able to shoot a series based on one of my favorite novels by Mario Vargas Llosa.“, said Alexander Bazzano. “Recreating the convulsive universe of this stormy love story is an exciting challenge, and I have no doubt that it will be a great success.”
“Bad Girl Shenanigans” tells the epic and romantic story of the adventurous maverick Arlette, and her teenage love, Ricardo, who is stuck in a predictable rut. Thanks to Arlette, she learns to gradually get out of her element. The lives of the two characters are intertwined over the course of 40 years in meetings in Lima, Paris, Madrid, Tokyo and London, among other cities.
