Danna Paola has been a Telemundo favorite and continues to be featured on the network. Paola will be next seen on the José José bio-series set to premiere in January. Danna was last seen as Aracely Arambula's daughter in the hit telenovela "La Doña" and she recently said there are talks of a possible sequel to solve some of the mystery from the last episode.

"People are asking for them to make a second season and they are in talks," she told People En Español. "The finale was open, many people were left wanting more, and find out what happened and believe me, I would love it. I think it was a great project and it at least deserves a short second season."

Danna Paola says that "La Doña" has now been made available in a popular streaming platform and more people have been tuning in. "Now that it's on Netflix I think a lot of the people that didn't watch it on Telemundo have now had the opportunity to watch it and they all love it," she added. "If they made a second season, I would love it, call Telemundo. 'La Doña' is literally going around the world. It's impressive what this beautiful project that I enjoyed a lot has achieved. It was a character that made me grow a lot, as an actress and as a person and that has been iconic in my career."

“La Doña” is a tale of revenge, ambition and seduction revolving around “Altagracia” (Arámbula), an elegant, beautiful and successful woman who runs a construction empire and enjoys widespread respect in society. A series of major traumas early in life left their mark on Altagracia and made her the implacable “Doña” she is today.

Paola played “Mónica,” a lovely young woman from a humble background with a compassionate and optimistic attitude toward life. Mónica is Altagracia’s daughter but was raised by her father, who kept the two of them constantly on the move to stay away from her mother. Despite the responsibility of caring for her invalid father, Mónica has grown into a resourceful and hardworking woman. She makes her living as a street vendor, facing and reflecting the realities of this difficult job, so widespread in Latin America.
