ReVolver Launches True Crime Series ‘Secretos de Leyenda’ With Cultural Twist.

True crime is getting a Latin twist in a new series from reVolver Podcasts. It is teaming up with the Florida-based World Media Pictures and veteran storyteller Lorenzo Parro-Maldonado to produce the series True Crime en Español: Secretos de Leyenda. The weekly docu-series peels back the curtain on the most persistent rumors, cultural myths, and unforgettable characters that shaped Latin pop culture—whether they were real or not.

The podcast brings together Spanish-language podcasts and true crime, which reVolver says is produced for a Hispanic audience that loves true crime but seeks it with authenticity and flair.

"There's something universal — and uniquely Latino — about our love of mystery, myth, and memory," President Jack Hobbs says. "Secretos de Leyenda brings a true crime experience like no other, rooted in our culture and told in our language. We're proud to bring this riveting series to audiences across the U.S. and beyond."

Secretos de Leyenda blends investigative journalism with immersive storytelling and cultural analysis. From urban legends that aired on TV, to celebrities who vanished behind the personas they created, the series invites listeners to rediscover the moments they think they remember — even if they never happened. From narco chronicles to unsolved cases and pop culture scandals, reVolver says the show also re-examines the past through a fresh, culturally resonant lens. The first episode tells the story of Brazilian soccer player Carlos Kaiser, who has been dubbed the greatest footballer never to have played football.

Music will also have a role in True Crime en Español: Secretos de Leyenda. Original music for the series was composed and produced by Pedro Castillo and Juan Antonio Fernández. ReVolver says it is more than a soundtrack, it is an original song that tells the story of the series itself, capturing its mystery, cultural weight, and emotional intensity. “Their collaboration gives the podcast a cinematic soul and an unforgettable sonic identity,” it says in the announcement.

Castillo, a legendary Venezuelan musician, is known for his iconic contributions to Venezuelan and Latin American rock and pop. Fernández, a global television sales executive, creative producer, songwriter and professional musician, brings decades of experience in international media. 

Episodes of True Crime en Español: Secretos de Leyenda will be released weekly.
