A Chase for Life and Fortune
Based on the book Morir Matando (Dying by killing) by F.G. Haghenbeck, the series follows Lobo Rosales, a former detective haunted by his past. His life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes Renata’s protector, the daughter of a woman he once loved. When a vicious attack leaves her orphaned, Lobo flees to the border to keep her safe, aiming to reunite her with her only living relative. He soon discovers that Renata holds the key to a hidden fortune that others are willing to kill for.
Chasing them is Cruz, a corrupt politician played by Alejandro de la Madrid, who deploys his most dangerous asset, Antonia Lazo (Fátima Molina), a relentless hunter whose past is intimately tied to Lobo. Amid an intense pursuit, buried feelings between Lobo and Antonia resurface, forcing them to choose between betraying each other or saving Renata.
L to R: Fátima Molina, Arap Bethke, Camille Mina star as Antonia, Renata and Lobo.

“With Lobo, Morir Matando, we’re bringing together some of the most recognized names in Spanish-language television to deliver a bold, emotionally charged story that stands as one of Telemundo’s most anticipated productions of the year,” says Javier Pons, Chief Content Officer and Head of Telemundo Studios. “It’s a thrilling, gripping drama with unforgettable performances that will keep audiences at the edge of their seats every night.”

From Novel to Series
F.G. Haghenbeck was an award-winning Mexican novelist and comic book writer known for works including his bestseller Trago Amargo (Bitter Drink) and supernatural thriller El Diablo me obligó (The Devil Made Me Do It), which became the popular Netflix horror series Diablero.
In the original novel, Lobo is a hitman commissioned to protect Renata after a massacre at her birthday party leaves her orphaned. The series adapts the character as a former detective, shifting the story’s foundation while keeping the core journey of a hardened protector and an innocent girl fleeing through a dangerous landscape.
Lobo, Morir Matando, a Telemundo Studios production announced during the 2025-2026 Upfronts, is written by Indira Páez and directed by Enrique Begné, Carlos Carrera, Rolando Ocampo, and Julia Rivero. Gabriela Valentán serves as executive producer, and Cynthia Martínez is the general producer.
