Created by Pablo Illanes, Netflix’s ‘Fake Profile’ is a Colombian romantic thriller series that follows Camila, who creates a sexy profile on an online dating app called Spice as she hopes to meet her Prince Charming. Soon, she ends up getting matched with a charming man named Fernando. As Camila falls in love with him, she also falls into a web of lies, deception, and sex, while her dreams turn into a living nightmare. When she plans to surprise him, she finds out that he leads a double life and he is neither Fernando nor single.
Originally titled ‘Perfil Falso,’ the steamy drama series features stellar onscreen performances from a talented cast comprising Carolina Miranda, Rodolfo Salas, Lincoln Palomeque, Manuela González, Iván Amozurrutia, and Víctor Mallarino. Most of the show’s drama unfolds in Las Vegas, where Camila and Fernando first meet, and in Colombia, where she goes to surprise him.
