All New Original Series ‘Matador” Premiering Tues., July 15th at 9pm ET/PT
Coming Tuesday, July 15th at 9 pm ET/PT from Roberto Orci, writer/producer of Mission Impossible 3, Star Trek and Transformers and Dan Dworkin, Jay Beattie and Andrew Orci is the irreverent and action-packed series Matador chronicling the unlikely rise of Tony Matador Bravo (Gabriel Luna), a popular soccer star who comes to be known as much for his playboy antics off the field as his dynamic moves on it. But what his fans and family don’t realize is that it’s all a cover—in truth, he is a skilled covert operative executing missions for a little-known branch of the CIA. Matador has the kind of fame and notoriety that affords him access to powerful circles of corruption and villainy. But, in balancing the dueling roles in which he’s been cast, he will be forced to confront the question of his true identity… and it is this mission which will prove to be his most dangerous.
