Colombia's Caracol will launch its latest "White Slave' series at NATPE.

The new telenovela is being produced as part of the network's initiative to produce two large scale telenovelas a year, according to VarietyThe series will launch in January during NATPE's convention in January.

The new show took advantage of the country's natural locations and tax incentives as it was shot in 11 exotic locations in Colombia. For the series, which takes place during the times of slavery, several authentic period costumes were produced and 400 extras were used. It is one of the biggest productions in years since Caracol's 2012 "Pablo Escobar, El Patron del Mal." That series was shot in real locations and did not use studios, which are usually used for telenovelas. "El Patron del Mal" went on to be featured on Netflix and became a hit in the U.S. as it was associated with the platform's "Narcos."

The new series "White Slave" took seven months to shoot and was in development and pre-production for over five months. The production boasts an international cast that includes Goya award-winning actress Nerea Camacho, who is best known for her work in "Camino," Spain's Miguel de Miguel, who is best known for his work on "La Reina del Sur," Venezuelan actor Luciano D'Alessandro, Cuba's Dorian Suarez, Panamanian Miroslava del Carmen and Puerto Rican Modesto Lacen.

The series will be 60 episodes long and was shot on Sony F55 cameras, a new 4K camera that gives the series a new cinematic look. The use of higher resolution is new to TV as many American networks are striving to give their shows a cinematic look and making sure the story is enhanced by its visuals. TV shows are now shooting on RED cameras, which is today's cinema standard.

"White Slave" tells the story of a Marchioness from Spain who returns to free the slaves who raised her when her parents were killed.
