Betty in New York (Season 1)

Betty in New York (2019) is a Mexican telenovela you can watch online on iFILM. Beatriz is educated, ambitious and ready to work — but New York's fashion industry sees only her looks, and the only door that opens is a junior errand job she is wildly overqualified for. She takes it anyway.

Elyfer Torres plays Betty with a warmth that makes the audience root hard from the first episode. Erick Elías plays opposite her as a man whose role in her story is bigger than he realises. The series is a reimagining of the beloved Colombian original Yo Soy Betty la Fea, relocated to the gloss and pressure of the New York fashion world. What the show gets right that many telenovelas miss: Betty is never the joke. Stream Betty in New York online on iFILM.
