El cuerpo del Deseo (The Body of Desire) also known as Second Chance is a Spanish-language telenovela produced by Telemundo and Film in Florida. This telenovela aired in several countries like Argentina, Malaysia, Poland, Philippines, Slovakia and Spain. This limited-run series is about a man who comes back from the dead and discovers dark secrets about his beautiful widow. It first aired in 2005 and was a smash hit on Telemundo. The first version of El cuerpo del Deseo was En Cuerpo Ajeno[1] produced by RTI Colombia in 1992.

The story features Pedro José Donoso (Andrés García), a wealthy old man in love with a gorgeous younger woman, Isabel Arroyo (Lorena Rojas). He dies suddenly, but returns to Earth through transmigration: (the passing of a soul into another body after death), in the body of Salvador Cerinza (Mario Cimarro), a handsome (yet poor) family man. Pedro José searches for everything he lost, uncovering secrets, truths and deceptions. Ultimately, he must set things straight and save those who truly loved him.
This melodrama about wealth, youth and power was filmed in Miami. It is a remake of Julio Jimenez's En Cuerpo Ajeno ("In a Foreign Body"), a 1992 RTI Colombia serial. In 2006, NBC commissioned Cuban author Erick Hernandez Mora to write a follow-up novel, El deseo ajeno (Possessed By Desire), which was published by Simon & Schuster.
Universal Studios released an abridged 720-minute version of the saga on DVD in 2006. Telemundo announced an encore of the complete run beginning May 29, 2007 on its daytime lineup, but decided not to air it.
El cuerpo del Deseo aired on Telemundo weekdays from 12pm to 2pm, starting on September 15, 2008.
In early 2006, NBC announced plans to develop Body of Desire, an English-language version of the series,[2] with Julio Jimenez as executive producer[3]. That same year, it inked a two-year deal with Los Angeles-based production company Galán Entertainment to adapt Deseo and other Spanish serials for use on NBC, Bravo and USA Network.[4]. None of the productions have aired. In 2007, NBC announced another try at adapting the genre: Without Breasts There Is No Paradise.
