**Paloma De Pasiones** is a telenovela-styled drama airing on El Canal De Los Amores, produced in conjunction with ajmkv Productions and SimTV. It revolves around the life of a wealthy family in rural Mexico.

It first aired its backdoor pilot on the second season of Kev & Get It, during an acting challenge. Due to this, it features many cast members from that show. It premiered in the spring of 2018.

## Background

The show was first conceived as part of an acting challenge in the tenth episode of Kev & Get It, Season 2. The six remaining contestants each played a role in the challenge, with the winner of the first season, Hudson, playing the seventh role. Each of the contestants played a substantial part, but Marjan received the main role. Before the episode aired, the fledgling El Canal De Los Amores expressed an interest in picking up Paloma De Pasiones as a full show, keeping the cast and the storylines in order to profit from the popularity of K&GI. SimTV and ajmkv Productions agreed, and the network commissioned a first season of the show, to be produced immediately. Each of the contestants that participated in the acting challenge accepted the offer and subsequently reprised their roles. The segment aired during K&GI was expanded and became the pilot episode.

Though the first episode featured only the cast from the pilot, all subsequent episodes expanded the cast significantly. Several ex-K&GI contestants auditioned for the show and received roles, including Patricio Arredondo, Marina Solano, and Fernando Villablanca. The latter had also been on Life Is A Game, alongside Vanesa Ponce, who received a role, as well. Several people who had appeared as guests on K&GI also received roles after auditioning, including Cielo Navarro, Qykoz Asterpzyx, and Benjamín Silvestri. ajmkv himself also received a role, credited to his real name. Two new actors received their first roles: Alton Carl and Eloina Salas. These last two rounded out the full main and recurring cast for the first season.
