Maradona Like Never Before

"My life has been a roller coaster and I want to tell it honestly; these are my experiences, and for this there couldn't be a better co-producer than BTF. I know that they're the only ones who can do it justice with the quality and candor that it deserves. It's a very smooth process; we're working closely with Francisco Cordero, Mari Urdaneta and Alejandro Aimetta from Argentina, the showrunner of BTF and this series. It's a detailed account of my story through interviews and I'm giving them all my support and knowledge as far as my life is concerned," said Maradona about the project, which went into pre-production in September and is scheduled to start shooting in Argentina in 2017.

The producers, for their part, are talking about the different countries and continents where they will be filming this great story. "This dramatized series represents one of the biggest challenges on television today," notes Luis Balaguer. For the first time, we will see the charismatic world icon at a very personal level, evoking a legend drawn from a life surpassing all limits, presenting the whole truth, from the unparalleled glory of one of the greats to a man's darkest episodes. The kid from the neighborhood who took on the hopes of the whole people, gives us a first person account of how he came to be Diego, the great number ten, until the unforgettable "hand of God" goal.
