Chepe Fortuna is a Colombian traditional comedy telenovela, produced by RCN Televisión in 2010 and 2011. It stars Javier Jattin and Taliana Vargas, with Kristina Lilley, Pedro Palacio, Susana Rojas, Luigi Aycardi, the first actor Gerardo Calero and first actress Margalida Castro, in addition to the first actors Judy Henríquez, Carlos Muñoz and Consuelo Luzardo. The production proposal was based on the setting of a comic story in the Caribbean Region of Colombia, so 90% of the cast is originally from the Colombian coast, including the protagonists.

The leading characters come from different social backgrounds, one being a poor fisherman fighting against industrialization and the other being an environmentalist from the industrializing family.[1]

The librettos were created by Miguel Ángel Baquero and Eloisa Infante, and the direction was carried out by Mario Ribero, who had previously directed successful comedies such as Novia para dos, Yo soy Betty, la fea and Los Reyes. This production holds the record for having the most watched final episode in the history of private television in Colombia, reaching an audience of 53.3 in the household audience index and 23.6 in people, an unprecedented figure. In Panama, the telenovela was a success on TVN screens, reaching 6.0 points of audience index and in Colombia an index of 23.0 points.[citation needed]

Thanks to the success obtained, the story had a spin-off called Casa de reinas, in which most of the main and secondary characters return, but only those who had an alternate story to that of Chepe and Niña. Casa de reinas enjoyed a great reception from the public, being broadcast in late 2012 and early 2013, by RCN Televisión, the same network that has placed successes in Latin America, the United States and Europe, such as Betty, the ugly, Sincere love, La Pola, The last happy marriage, El Capo 1 and 2 [citation needed]
