You won’t believe what we just saw! BuzzMedia is buzzing because filming has officially started on one of Peru’s biggest TV projects ever. Seriously. It’s called ‘Los Principiantes’.

This isn’t just any show. It’s an eight-part Spanish-language drama. Set in the 1980s! Think Lima, Peru. Imagine the fashion. The music.

The story? Wild. It’s inspired by real events. It follows this elite law school cabal – basically a secret group – that takes over everything. Academia. Politics. Even organized crime! The producers say it digs into ambition and power. We’re already picturing the gritty, atmospheric feel of 80s Lima, maybe with some intense, contrasting colors in their production design. A cool aesthetic.
