Cast

Main

The premiere of the series was scheduled for October 31, 2016. However, El Capo quickly came under a firestorm of criticism. The presidents of the Radio and Television Commissions in the Senate and Chamber of Deputies wrote a letter asking the RTC, Mexico's broadcast content regulator, and the Federal Telecommunications Institute to take action against Imagen Televisión, which aired the novela, for broadcasting a "narcoseries". The network may have feared that the program would receive a D rating from the RTC, in which case it could not air before midnight; days before the planned October 31 premiere, the title was changed to Perseguidos for its run on Imagen.
The series was broadcast from November 7, 2016 until January 27, 2017. In the United States the series premiered on April 4, 2017 in the timeslot of 10pm/9c with its original name, "El Capo". Due to the low rating of the series, Telemundo changed the schedule of the series to 8pm/7c.
