Watch Maite Perroni 'La Gata' Trailer: Former RBD Member Stars In New Univision Telenovela [VIDEO]

Maite Perroni is coming back to the small screen in a brand new telenovela titled "La Gata." Televisa threw a bash last night to present the cast and trailer to the media where Perroni also premiered the theme song she will be singing titled "Vas A Querer Volver." This new Univision soap opera also stars Erika Buenfil and Laura Zapata which will be airing in primetime shortly. The clip is an 11-minute preview of what the basis of the story is, a young woman that lives in a landfill and is mistreated by her stepmother, not knowing that she comes from a wealthy family. Perroni had to transform herself into a character that lives in a landfill, with torn shoes, raggedy clothes and dirt all over. WATCH "LA GATA" TRAILER DOWN BELOW!

Production of the series takes place in an actual waste field in Bordo of Xochiaca in Mexico. Her on-screen love will be with the handsome Daniel Arenas, who we just finished watching as Octavio on "Corazón Indomable." The two already show tremendous chemistry and will ignite the small screen when it premieres on Univision later this year. "La Gata" has been mixed with a Venezuelan novela titled "Rubí Rebelde" by Perla Farias to enrich the original premise. Nathalie Larthilleux, producer of the telenovela, told "Formula Espectacular" that most of the secondary characters will be from Farias story while the central storyline will be around Rodena's original.

"La Gata" has had numerous versions produced in México with the first one produced in 1970 and starring María Rivas and Juan Ferrera. In 1983, Televisa produced another version of the Inés Rodena classic under the title of "La Fiera" with Victoria Ruffo, Guillermo Capetillo, Angélica Aragónand Rocio Banquells taking the lead roles. It was only 10 years after Ruffo's hit novela aired that another producer took a stab at recreating the success, sadly this was not the case. "Sueño de Amor" with Angélica Rivera and Omar Fierro was not the hit it was meant to be and turned out to be not so memorable. Angelli Nesma retook the classic in the year 2000 with Natalia Esperón and Victor Noriega with mixed results. With a high-profile star like Maite Perroni and Daniel Arenas coming from a hit, this new version is poised to be a success. "La Gata" is set to premiere on May 5 in México and should start shortly after on Univision.
