LOS ANGELES - Sisterhood and survival are the themes of a dark comedy coming to Peacock, a first step into Spanish-language fare created for the streaming service. The Miami-set “Armas de Mujer,” which translates in English as “Women’s Weapons,” also is a switch for its stars, including Kate del Castillo of “La Reina del Sur” drama series fame. “I’m very happy to be doing this amazing genre that I’m not familiar with as an actress,” del Castillo said Wednesday. There’s a tendency to pit women against each other as competitors, said Sáenz, calling that a sharp contrast with reality. Although the series is in Spanish (with English-language subtitles), its universal story makes the language irrelevant, Sánchez said.
