"Metástasis" is the Latino version of one of the most successful TV shows in the United States, Breaking Bad, and is brought to the TV in Spanish by Univisión starting on June 8 through UniMás and Galavisión.
The successful show tells the story of a man with values and good principles who is corrupted by money and power, and takes on a Latino flavor with a Colombian character, a chemistry professor who after being diagnosed with lung cancer and sentenced to two more years of life, decides to enter the illegal business of creating synthetic drugs, managing to create a product without equal, based on his scientific knowledge.
Diego Trujillo plays the role of Walter Blanco, the main character of the remake of the original show by Vince Gilligan and which expects to captivate Latino audiences from the first episode on the month of June.

DIfferences between Metástasis and Breaking Bad
"Breaking Bad" will feature a series of differences in its Spanish remake.
- Saúl will be more than just a lawyer and will be the star of the show "Cuéntale a Saúl" where he offers help and legal advice.
- The Blanco family will not own a pool, since the story develops in Bogotá and the weather does not allow for pools.
- Walter and José don't cook meth in an RV, but rather in a bus, more common in Latin America than RVs are in the United States.
- Walter teaches at a private school and not a public school as shown in the original version.
