The 18-episode series, with episodes lasting about 40 minutes or so each, takes place in Mexico and was filmed across locations in Guerrero, Mexico City, Soledad de Doblado, and Veracruz.
The official synopsis reads: "Under the cover of night, four teens take an infant to a remote location and leave her in a rundown building.
"Waiting to pick them up is their school headmistress, Ramona. She’s helping the girls hide the pregnancy and is now assisting in abandoning the child, later named Brenda.
"Brenda survives a childhood living in squalor — but barely. After pulling herself out of poverty, Brenda becomes a well-connected influencer with millions of followers.
"She’s powerful, she’s confident, and she wants to make sure the people who left her for dead — especially her biological mother — pay for what they did. First on her list: Ramona."
Literal chills.
So - who's in the cast for the latest drama series?
Camila Valero plays Brenda Rey, the social media influencer who was abandoned as a baby by the four private-school kids.
With an enormous thirst for the suspect details surrounding her birth after living an extremely difficult childhood, Brenda discovers the truth, while she finds love and unearths secrets that will endanger her life.
Chantal Andere takes on the role of Ramona Castro, a philanthropist and former headmistress of the all-girls school that the four teens attended.
Adriana Louvier plays housewife Fernanda Alarcón while Marimar Vega plays realtor Martina Robles.
Litzy takes on the character of writer Sofía Estrada while Kika Edgar plays congresswoman Irene Bustamante.

And, last but not least is Erick Chapa who plays Fernanda’s husband, Rodrigo.
It's clear fans couldn't wait to share their verdict on the thriller series, with one Facebook user revealing: "I binge-watched this in ONE day. So many plot twists!"
Another viewer took to X, formerly Twitter, to write: "Go watch Pact of Silence on Netflix 10/10!!"
