Just as the title suggests, Defying Destiny shows how a determined heart cannot be held back. Netflix’s new Spanish-language drama tells a heartbreaking yet inspiring story of a young girl, Maria, who continues to fight for what she deserves, even when everything and perhaps destiny itself seems against her. 

And bringing this powerful story to life is an equally talented cast. As more people tune in to Netflix to watch Maria’s story, here is a closer look at the cast behind Defying Destiny.

Defying Destiny, featuring 64 episodes, is anchored by a talented cast including Marggy Selene Valdiris (The Big Cigar), Paola González (Bumpin Uglies), Karent Hinestroza (Choco, Crab Trap, El Paseo), and Daniel Toro (Memoria). Carlos Carvajal, Valeria Caicedo, Paola Moreno, and Valdiris López are also part of the cast.

Defying Destiny tells the story of a young woman, Maria, whose dream of becoming a teacher is stopped due to a teen pregnancy. Rather than letting it stop her, the story shows how Maria chooses to fight for her ambitions and for women’s rights. It also follows Fancy and Tulia, two women with hopes of building stable, fulfilling lives of their own.

Much like the story, the show also has an interesting ending. The series is now streaming on Netflix, and for fans of Spanish-language drama, there is another must-watch series to add to the watchlist. 

This is a must-watch thriller drama, The Snow Girl. The show follows intern journalist Miren, who becomes obsessed with finding Amaya Martín, who went missing during the 2010 Cavalcade of Magi in Málaga. The series combines suspense and emotion, keeping viewers hooked from the first episode. 

Milena Smit shows a brilliant performance as Miren Rojo, while José Coronado played the role of Eduardo. Each episode carefully reveals clues, twists, and much more. So, this is a thrilling binge for mystery lovers.

While the story continues to get intense in The Snow Girl, Defying Destiny, on the other hand, has a different approach, which is paired with powerful performances and socially relevant storytelling. Both shows have unique and intriguing storytelling to watch while fans wait for more masterpieces.
