Los simuladores (English: The Pretenders) is an Argentine television series created by Damián Szifron for Telefe. Starring Federico D'Elía, Alejandro Fiore, Diego Peretti, and Martín Seefeld, it follows a small team of con artists for hire, who use their skills to solve common people's life problems. The show ran for two seasons, from 2002 to 2004. It was very popular and highly acclaimed, winning a Golden Martín Fierro Award.
Following its original run, the series was occasionally shown in reruns on Telefe. Remakes were produced in Chile, Spain (with D'Elía reprising his role), Russia, and a remake for Mexico.[1]
In March 2022, a feature film and sequel to the series was revealed to be in development in collaboration with Paramount+, with the main cast returning and Szifron serving as the screenwriter and director. Originally scheduled to be released in 2024, it was later delayed for a 2025 release.[2]
