Latin Lover is a joint telenovela production between Venevisión, Iguana Producciones, and Playboy Entertainment Group. It centers around the production of a fictional telenovela, and follows the lives of the actors and production staff involved in the show, as well as other tangential characters. The show features a large main cast of at least 23 credited performers.

Each episode features a number of softcore pornographic and simulated sexy scenes, commonly including full frontal and rear nudity, though rarely showing either male or female genitalia.

As of July 6, 2008, Latin Lover is broadcast in Canada by Telelatino, dubbed into English. A new series called Latin Lover 2: Beauty & Ambition premiered on Telelatino Network in Spring 2009.
