Spanish-speaking fans of the popular cable television series "Breaking Bad" will get the get the chance to watch a remake of the show next year. While most of the characters and storyline will stay the same, the Spanish-language show will air under a new name, "Metástasis."

The Huffington Post reports the remake will debut in 2014 in both the United States and Latin America by way of the television network Univision. In the United States, "Breaking Bad" reached an audience of 10.3 million viewers.

Hollywood is becoming increasingly fond of drug war dramas. "The Bridge," a series set in the El Paso/Ciudad Juárez border area, debuted in July. Its storyline centers on a murder that involves police investigation on both sides of the border. The show was recently green-lighted for a second season.

But for border residents, the effects of drug trafficking are very real. In July, Fronteras Desk reported that methamphetamine seizures at the San Diego ports of entry are three times higher than all other ports combined. More than 80 percent of meth seized in the United States is made in Mexico.
