Cabo needs a comedic spin-off, not a narco drama spin-off. Here is the Affidavit describing the lawsuit in lay terms, with a very apt description of the complexity of the character "El Cabo". Cabo is now the key antagonist in Season 6 and tonight will go to war with the Casillas and the replacement El Chema. (Video clip of Cabo killing Monica and Felina is here). (Cabo was not in seasons 3 or 4 of ESDLC, but made his return in the very last episode of season 5, to kill Monica Robles (the best and next to Aurelio, most irreplaceable character in the show. Caracol claims Telemundo breached the agreement by not seeking its position on renewing the show for seasons 3, 4, 5 and 6 or sharing the profits, and more importantly, for copyright infringement for continuing to use the character of El Cabo which it says it owns, Caracol says it only authorized the character to appear in the first two seasons of El Senor de los Cielos.
When the show began in 2012, Caracol and Telemundo had a joint distribution deal for it. Here's a screengrab of him from that series.

In an affidavit in support of a motion for a restraining order that would prevent Telemundo from continuing to use El Cabo, the writer states he believes Telemundo is planning a spinoff using El Cabo.Įl Cabo is expertly played by Robinson Diaz, is a terrific character, who first appeared in the Colombian series "El Cartel", and then its sequel, Cartel de los Sapos. While not many media outlets have reported it, Telemundo is being sued in federal court in Miami by the Colombian entertainment network Caracol over Telemundo's continued use of "El Cabo"'s character.
Telemundo and ESDLC may be facing more problems. Nothwithstanding that Rafael Amaya IS and will always be El Senor de los Cielos, Telemundo is marching on, having already announced there will be a season 7. (Unfortunately, he also has a lead role in the second season of Ingobernable and has now been signed to a new Netflix series). The new guy not only bears no resemblance to the handsome and sexy Mauricio Ochmann who will always be El Chema in fans' minds, he wrong for the part in every way. They also brought in a replacement for El Chema, a character very loosely based on El Chapo). If the show is using this couple to recreate Aurelio and Monica Robles, it's not working. Her mother is now running for the seat, with help from a vapid and annoying sister. Diana's father was running for Governor of his state when he was gunned down by rival trafficker El Cabo. He also falls in love with a blond trafficker named Diana who lives on a ranch. The half-brother plays a CIA agent on the run who returns to the family fold to essentially take Aurelio's place. Then they brought in an actor to play his half-brother that no one ever knew he had. To cover Amaya's absence, Telemundo's writers put Aurelio in a coma at the end of July, so all we see is someone lying immobile in bed with a head swathed in bandages. But here he is, at an event with a Mexican political consultant for the new President, posted on her FB page on Sept. He wasn't at the wrap party for the show in August. Until this week, there have been no sightings, even on social media. Telemundo has said nothing and the show just keeps on trucking. Other reports speculate there were contractual disputes with Telemundo and he's out of the show permanently. Some reports say Amaya contracted an illness in a bat cave while filming an episode of the show in Turkey and he's still gravely ill. Amaya plays Aurelio Casillas, loosely based on deceased trafficker Amado Carrillo-Fuentes. The show has been somewhat of a rudderless ship this season, due to the disappearance of lead actor Rafael Amaya midway through filming. Tonight is the finale of the sixth season of El Señor de los Cielos (ESDLC 6).
