The Gringo Hunters OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Harold Torres and Mayra Hermosillo's crime drama
The Gringo Hunters OTT Release Date: In a time when crime thrillers are flooding streaming platforms, this Mexican thriller offers something you haven't seen before. It flips the usual narrative, puts Mexico front and centre, and tells the story of a real elite police unit that does one job: track down American fugitives hiding across the border and send them back home to face justice. The Gringo Hunters is all set to premiere on Netflix on July 9, 2025.
What is The Gringo Hunters all about?
At the heart of the show is a fascinating, little-known reality. Based on journalist Kevin Sieff's eye-opening article for The Washington Post, the show follows Mexico's International Liaison Unit, often referred to as the 'Gringo Hunters.' These are officers whose job is to locate U.S. nationals who cross into Mexico to escape criminal charges back home.
For years, these fugitives believed they could vanish into Tijuana or Mexico City, but this police unit has been proving them wrong, one arrest at a time.
The Gringo Hunters' cast and crew
The Gringo Hunters is led by Harold Torres, known for his intense performances in ZeroZeroZero. He's joined by Mayra Hermosillo from Thursday's Widows, who plays Gloria. Alongside them, you'll see Manuel Masalva (Narcos: Mexico), José María Yazpik, and a wide mix of actors from both sides of the border, including Sebastian Roché, Eric Nelsen, Jessica Lindsey, and Tyler Young.
Behind the scenes, the show is in solid hands. The series is co-directed by a talented bunch - Alonso Alvarez, Natalia Beristain, Adrian Grunberg, and Jimena Montemayor. The writing is led by Jorge Dorantes, with executive producers like Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Tony Hernandez attached. The production is backed by Woo Films, Redrum, and Imagine Entertainment, with Netflix and The Washington Post both in on the collaboration.

WWE SmackDown returns to its classic two-hour format this July
WWE SmackDown WWE SmackDown is getting ready for a big change this summer. After running for three hours every Friday night since early 2025, the show is now expected to go back to its original two-hour format. This move is happening because of a new TV series that will air on USA Network later this year. SmackDown became a three-hour show as part of a short-term deal between WWE and USA Network. This was when Raw was preparing to move to Netflix. Now, with a new show taking over the 10 PM slot on Fridays, SmackDown won't be able to continue with its third hour. Two-hour format likely to begin July 4 According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE is planning to drop the third hour starting with the July 4 episode. This means SmackDown will return to the two-hour format very soon, even before the new series airs. USA Network will debut its new legal drama called Rainmaker on August 15 at 10 PM ET. This show will air every Friday, which forces SmackDown to end before that time. There has been no official announcement from WWE or TKO yet, but this change has been in discussion for a while. Back in January, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H had already mentioned that the third hour would be temporary. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo SmackDown originally became three hours long to help WWE manage content during the transition to Netflix. But the extra hour was never meant to last forever. What does this mean for WWE and the fans Going back to two hours will affect how WWE runs SmackDown each week. With three hours, there was more time for matches, promos, and major returns. Recently, SmackDown featured big names like John Cena and Randy Orton , and held first-round matches for the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments. Even with tough TV competition, SmackDown still drew strong ratings. But with two hours, WWE will need to be more focused in how they use their time. This could lead to tighter storylines and faster-paced episodes. Many fans might welcome the change, as three hours sometimes felt too long. The upcoming change was also confirmed by a Variety report, which stated that Rainmaker will start airing on August 15 and take over the 10 PM time slot. The show will star actors like John Slattery and Lana Parrilla and is expected to run for 10 episodes. PWInsider reported that the show is expected to go to two hours starting July 4. Mike Johnson also mentioned that episodes of the Blue Brand will likely return to the old two-hour format well before the new series airs. While WWE has not officially confirmed the change, all signs suggest that SmackDown will return to two hours beginning next month.

Is Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh real sister of Yuvraj Singh? Know all about their relationship
In 2020, a viral Raksha Bandhan photo had cricket fans convinced Bollywood star wife Ritika Sajdeh was Yuvraj Singh's real sister. The image showed Sajdeh tying the ceremonial thread on Singh's wrist, and countless headlines followed. But the truth is simple: they're not related by birth. Rather, a deep professional friendship blossomed into an affectionate 'Rakhi' bond long before Sajdeh married Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Here's how a manager-client relationship grew into one of cricket's most enduring honorary sibling stories. From manager to 'rakhi sister' Ritika Sajdeh entered the cricketing world as a sports management professional. Among her earliest clients was Yuvraj Singh. Over time, their working rapport turned warm. At some point, according to an episode of Breakfast with Champions, Singh began calling Sajdeh his sister. On Raksha Bandhan, fans spotted Sajdeh tying a rakhi on Singh's wrist, only adding fuel to the sibling rumors. Yet, sources confirm that Singh's brotherly gesture is purely honorary, born of respect and long-standing friendship. The two share a strong sibling relationship, but not DNA. Yuvraj's protective brother move: 'Don't even look at her' Singh's protective streak surfaced again when Rohit Sharma first met Sajdeh during a 2008 shoot. 'As soon as I arrived, Yuvi had told me, 'She's my sister, don't even look at her,'' Sharma later recalled on the BwC episode in 2017. That playful warning stemmed from Singh's loyalty to Sajdeh, not a shared parentage. Despite Sharma's initial confusion—and later romance with Sajdeh—the story only goes to show just how sincerely Singh viewed her as part of his chosen family. Who are their real siblings and family? In reality, Yuvraj Singh's sister is not Sajdeh but someone else. He has one brother, Zorawar Singh, and two half-siblings, Victor and Amarjeet Kaur, through his father's second marriage. Ritika Sajdeh, meanwhile, has a brother named Kunal Sajdeh and is a first cousin to sports agent Bunty Sajdeh, according to The Sports Rush. Her family ties remain distinct from Singh's. Their relationship? A testament to mutual respect, created within the cricketing corridors and sealed with a rakhi.
