About the series
“Gabriel, Amor Inmortal” is a miniseries of 10 episodes, taped between January and October 2008 and transmitted in November and December 2008 in the United States. Besides the singer and actor Chayanne and the actress Angélica Celaya, others present in the miniseries are Juan David Ferrer, Álvaro Ruiz, Julián Gil, Sebastián Ligarde, Mirta Renée y Laura Ferretti, among others.
The series raised controversy by presenting for the first time in Latin television in the United States a vampire seeking redemption and who refuses to accept his destiny as a murderer. It is a suspenseful love story that counted on great production efforts from Megafilms and Mega TV, a local Miami television channel.
