False Identity

Isabel and Diego are strangers who end up sharing a single lie to survive. To flee Sonora they assume the identities of a married couple, signing on to routines, paperwork, and public roles that force them to act intimate when they barely know each other. As they try to keep that fiction intact, small slips and outside pressures—criminals, law enforcement, and people from their pasts—threaten to expose them. The show keeps the focus tight on deception and trust, showing how the need to hide can reshape who they are while new alliances and rivalries form around their false household.

Created by Perla Farías and released in 2018, the series stars Luis Ernesto Franco and Camila Sodi, with Dulce María, Samadhi Zendejas, and Eduardo Yáñez among the principal cast members.
