El drama hospitalario español de Netflix vuelve en Halloween. © Netflix

Netflix ha anunciado la fecha de estreno de la segunda temporada de Respira, su drama hospitalario español.

En esta nueva temporada, El Joaquín Sorolla se convierte en un hospital de gestión privada, desafiando las convicciones y principios de sus médicos. Más allá de salirse con la suya, Patricia (Najwa Nimri) sigue luchando contra su cáncer y crea un vínculo cada vez más estrecho con Néstor (Borja Luna). Jésica (Blanca Suárez) busca recuperar la confianza que le caracteriza, pero no puede decidirse entre Lluís (Alfonso Bassave) y Biel (Manu Ríos). Pilar (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón) sigue lidiando con las adicciones de su hijo, aunque Quique (Xóan Fórneas) encontrará en ella una inesperada aliada cuando la nueva dirección del centro lo lleve a tomar una cuestionable decisión. A todo esto se suma la llegada de una prestigiosa oncóloga, Sophie (Rachel Lascar), decidida a poner el hospital patas arriba.

Forqué-nominated Spanish director Gala Gracia (“Evanescente”) will debut her tender first feature, “Remnants of You” (“Lo que queda de ti”), in competition at this year’s Malaga Film Festival.

The narrative follows Sara, a young jazz pianist living in New York who’s returned home to Spain’s Pyrenees after news of her father’s abrupt death. As heightened mourning grips her, she finds she’s inherited his sheep farm alongside her sister Elena, planting her firmly in a hometown both familiar and suffocating.

A highly personal portrait of reconciling desires against the sturdy expectations life doles out, the film centers Sara’s trepidation, as she weighs abandoning her passions to run the family business in an attempt to uphold her father’s legacy, potentially sacrificing the nourishment of her own.

Produced by Carlo D’Ursi’s Potenza Producciones (“The Quiet Maid”) with co-production credits to Bastian Films, Sajama Films, Garbo Produzioni and Fado Filmes,...

Descubrir la identidad de su donante la llevará a un lugar lleno de secretos. © Netflix

Netflix ha dado por terminado el rodaje de su nueva serie El Cuco de Cristal, la adaptación del best-seller de Javier Castillo dirigida por Laura Alvea (La chica de la nieve) y Juan Miguel del Castillo (La novia gitana) y con guion de Jesús Mesas y Javier Andrés Roig.

El cuco de cristal sigue a Clara Merlo (Sopelana), una médico residente de primer año, que sufre un infarto fulminante que la obliga a someterse a un trasplante de corazón. Aún convaleciente, la joven no puede sacarse de la cabeza la idea de conocer a su donante y esto la lleva a un pequeño pueblo del interior para conocer la vida del joven que le donó su corazón. Clara se adentra así en un lugar lleno de secretos, un misterio que abarca veinte años y un pueblo hermético donde,...

Spanish public broadcaster Rtve, alongside Mediacrest and Mediacrest El Clásico Aie, will tease the highly anticipated Spanish police procedural “Internal Affairs” (“Asuntos Internos”) at Berlinale’s Series Market Select showcase Spanish Thrillers, organized by Iberseries & Platino Industria.

The buzz title, created by Pedro García Ríos and Rodrigo Martín Antoranz, follows Clara, among the first female detectives in Spain, after she’s accepted to a seedy Madrid precinct just as a heroin becomes readily available in Spain.

A fresh-faced and naive young new hire, her empathy and moral compass fast prove a detriment as she navigates the tough demeanor of her male peers with her unquenchable thirst for a justice predicated on equity, a fair shake.

Directed by María Togores (“Entre tierras”) and Samantha López Speranza (“No Traces”), the series jolts to an adrenaline-filled start as Clara lies breathless in the back of an ambulance-being rushed to the hospital after being attacked.

Tras cerrar el caso de Amaya, Miren Rojo pensaba que lo peor había pasado, hasta que un sobre inesperado en una firma de libros lo cambia todo: «¿Quieres jugar?». Dentro, una polaroid con un nombre que resurge del pasado: Laura Valdivia, una joven desaparecida años atrás. Al mismo tiempo, el brutal asesinato de Allison Hernández en inquietantes circunstancias apunta a un exclusivo colegio, envuelto en secretos y en un macabro juego. Con Jaime como nuevo compañero, Miren se sumergirá en una peligrosa investigación que pondrá en riesgo no sólo su vida,...

The Longest Night season 2 is the long-awaited next chapter in the Spanish Netflix series and with an ending like the one in season 1, fans have high expectations for what comes next. One of many notable Spanish-language TV series streaming on Netflix, The Longest Night was created by Vctor Sierra and Xos Morais and premiered on July 8, 2022, for six episodes. A prison-themed television show, The Longest Night, or La noche ms larga in the original Spanish, stars Luis Callejo as Simn Lago, a prisoner in the Prison of Monte Baruca on Christmas Eve.

Lago, also known as "The Alligator", is a notorious serial killer who is captured under suspicious circumstances and sent to a psychiatric hospital rather than a maximum security prison. Prison warden, Hugo Roca (Alberto Ammann), is called away from Christmas Eve dinner with his three children to watch over his transfer. However, once there, an armed rescue team arrives for Lago,...

Netflix ha publicado el tráiler de Respira, el primer drama hospitalario de Netflix en España, creado por Carlos Montero.

El Joaquín Sorolla es mucho más que un hospital público de Valencia donde cada día se salvan vidas. Médicos y residentes se dejan la piel en el frenético ritmo de las urgencias, donde las tensiones, las emociones y hasta el deseo aceleran el corazón de un personal que vive cada vez más al límite. La llegada de una distinguida paciente pone de manifiesto la complicada situación de la sanidad pública, encendiendo la mecha de lo que se convertirá en una huelga drástica y sin precedentes.

Hours after Amazon MGM Studios announced that María José Rodríguez has departed as head of Spanish Originals, The Mediapro Studio has announced that she will take up the post of managing director of Globomedia, one of the jewels in its Spanish production house crown.

Rodríguez will take up her new position on Sept. 1, with oversight of Globomedia content strategy and production operations, reporting directly to Laura Fernández Espeso, The Mediapro Studio CEO.

A historic production house founded in 1993 as independent production lifted off in Spain looking to feed the prime time ambitions of newly created commercial networks Telecinco and Antena 3.

Creating massive hits such as its first series “Médico de Familia” (1995-99), “7 Vidas” (1999-2006), “Los Serrano” (2003-08), “The Boarding School” (2007-10)” and “Paco’s Men” (2005-21) which knocked U.S. shows out of primetime, fired up front and original sales abroad, forged a Spanish TV style which remains to...

En “Desde el mañana”, pocos días después de mudarse a una nueva casa con su familia, Gabriela (Marta Hazas) descubre bajo el suelo de su despensa una veta de un mineral desconocido.

Netflix and “Elite” creator Carlos Montero have reteamed on the new medical drama “Breathless,” and Variety has been given exclusive access to new first images from the show.

“Breathless” is produced by Montero’s El Desorden Crea and executive produced by Montero and Diego Betancor. David Pinillos and Marta Font shared directing duties, working from screenplays by Montero, Carlos Ruano, Guillermo Escribano, and Pablo Saiz.

Alongside today’s photos, Netflix released a new synopsis for the show: “The Joaquín Sorolla is much more than a public hospital in Valencia where lives are saved every day. Doctors and residents work their fingers to the bone in the frenetic pace of the emergency room, where tensions, emotions and even desire accelerate the hearts of a staff that lives increasingly on the edge. The arrival of a distinguished patient highlights the complicated situation of the public health system, lighting the fuse for what...

The investigative thriller The Asunta Case(El Caso Asunta), starring Candela Peña and Tristán Ulloa, tells the story of one of the most shocking true crimes in Spanish history. In 2001, a baby from China named Asunta Fong Yang was adopted by Rosario Porto and Alfonso Basterra, a well-to-do couple living in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Thirteen years later, she was found dead. Her parents, who’d reported her disappearance, were later arrested for her murder. As the news rippled across the country, the question on everyone’s mind: Why?

Directed by Carlos Sedes and Jacobo Martínez, the series was created by Ramón Campos (Gran Hotel), Gema R. Neira (High Seas), Jon de la Cuesta (Estoy Vivo), and David Orea (Jaguar). Campos directed the 2017 documentary about the case, El caso Asunta: Operación Nenúfar, originally titled Lo que la Verdad Esconde: El Caso Asunta.

Starring “3o Coins’” Miguel Angel Silvestre and “The Palace’s” Katia Fellin, “Weiss & Morales” has gone into production in the Canary Islands, boasting the credentials of a textbook procedural appealing to current market appetites.

As co-production ramps up between free-to-air players in Europe, led very often by its state-backed networks, “Weiss & Morales” links two of the continents’ most powerful public broadcasters, Germany’s Zdf and Spain’s Rtve, which produce with Zdf Studios. The latter is also handling worldwide sales outside Spanish-speaking territories.

Also producing are Galicia-based Portocabo, which in the space of 10 years has pioneered co-productions between Spain’s Galicia and Portugal (“Dry Water”) and Spain and France (“Hierro), and Nadcon whose head, Peter Nadermann co-produced iconic Nordic Noir titles “The Killing” and “The Bridge” when at Zdf.

Ester Expósito was born on January 26, 2000, in Madrid, Spain. From a young age, she displayed a keen interest in the artistic world and knew that acting was her true calling. At the age of 16, after completing her studies, Expósito decided to pursue her dream and enrolled in acting courses.

As earning significant profile for shows in a packed marketplace has become one of Europe’s most pressing industry concerns, a new and ambitious TV series festival is launching in Cadiz, southern Spain, as an initiative of Mediaset España and backed by shows from other key players on the Spanish TV scene, such as The Mediapro Studio and Movistar Plus+.

Speakers from the Spanish-speaking world take in writer-director-producer Armando Bo (“El Presidente”), an Oscar winning scribe for “Birdman, or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance,” and Daniel Écija, an executive producer on key hits in the last decade in Spain such as the multi-genre free-to-air series “Estoy Vivo,” and “Locked Up” “(Vis a vis,” a key into its lift-off into premium drama selling worldwide.

ViX+, the fledgling Spanish-language SVOD from TelevisaUnivision, is dipping into literary classics once more with the modern retelling of Alexandre Dumas’ popular revenge tale, “The Count of Monte Cristo.”

The news follows the Jan. 20 bow of ViX+’s Anna Karenina adaptation, “Volver a Caer” with Kate del Castillo. Last year, ViX+ unveiled an adaptation of Nobel Prize laureate Mario Vargas Llosa’s “Travesuras de la Niña Mala” (“Bad Girl”).

Madrid — To face up to global platforms, high-end series from Europe have to be different. That’s almost a truism these days. One way is for shows to drink deep at the well of their national culture.

So the question of what makes a show “Spanish” threaded many of the panel reflections and presentations this week at an upbeat Rtve Showcase, a enterprising launch pad for new shows and seasons from the public broadcaster which ran May 26-28 at the Hotel Puerta de América in Madrid.

At a centerpiece panel, “Creating Fiction for a Global Audience,” answers were supplied by some of the finest minds and creators in Spain’s business: Showrunners Ramón Campos and Daniel Ecija, producers José Manuel Lorenzo at Banijay’s Dlo/Magnolia and Tedy Villaba at Boomerang and screenwriter Joaquín Oristrell (“Cuéntame cómo pasó”).

The panel was moderated by Fernando Lopez Puig, Tve content & fiction production director,...

The Mediapro offices in Madrid’s Fuencarral district have for years boasted the logo of Globomedia, Spain’s premier scripted series production house.

But in the second half of April, a new logo, the Mediapro Studio, will replace the old. The change marks a near-total reinvention of the company’s scripted series production paradigm, says Mediapro partner Taxto Benet.

For years, Globomedia produced content for Spain’s three nationwide broadcast networks. Now its production partners span the globe, from many of the most important U.S. companies such as HBO and Netflix, to Mexico’s Televisa, Sweden’s Dramacorp, Italy’s Palomar, Finland’s Yle, Argentina’s two biggest broadcasters Telefe and Artear, plus Spain’s Mediaset España, Atresmedia and Tve. Mediapro also has four shows in development with U.K. producers, says Laura Fernández Espeso, the Mediapro Studio co-head of TV.

Mediapro’s international distribution arm, Imagina International Sales, has closed sales on key titles in its catalog with networks and platforms across Europe.

Another Spanish-language title, Globomedia’s “Estoy Vivo” (“I’m Alive”) a ratings hit for Tve, has seen format rights picked up by France’s Chabraque Productions, with an eye on a possible French adaptation. In Italy, Garbo Produzioni has acquired the option to do the same in Italian.

Bambú-produced hit “Seis Hermanas,” (“Six Sisters”), broadcast on Tve in Spain, found broadcast homes on Tvr in Romania and Bev in Bulgaria in a deal struck with A to Z Distribution; Hungary’s Duna and M2 in a deal with Daydreamers Worldwide Entertainment; and Gpb in Georgia.

Mediaset España, Spain’s top-rated broadcaster, is reinforcing its content strategy with the launch of new brand Mediterráneo to integrate its affiliate production companies, as it unveils a strong TV drama slate for the 2018-19 TV season.

With a €40 million-€50 million ($45.30-$56.60 million) annual investment, Me represents a key pillar for the Spanish TV fiction sector. Currently it has 12 series projects underway, totaling 150 hours of TV drama production.

Newest TV fiction projects takes in Aitor Gabilondo’s “Madres,” Verónica Fernández’s “Caronte,” and Curro Royo and Miguel Angel Fernández’s “Desaparecidos.”

Me’s ambitious TV drama pipeline announcement comes amidst a Spanish TV fiction boom, with a spectacular increase of local series production -from 6 to 14 for the period 2014-17 – and new players such as Movistar + and Netflix aiming respectively around 14 and 12 original series for next year.

The move also comes after Atresmedia, Me’s main rival at the Spanish free-to-air TV market,...

There has been an exponential hike in international sales for non-English-language drama series as the TV business has become increasingly global.

Spain’s no exception. Traditionally, international buyers were looking for local primetime TV fiction such as Diagonal’s period skein “Isabel,” which has been acquired by Rai in Italy, the 82nd territory nabbing the series.

The global explosion of OTTs has propelled a new culture of Spanish TV fiction consumption.

“Spanish drama works excellently on premium platforms and is definitely not only for the Hispanic world,” says Christian Gockel, Evp acquisitions & sales at Beta Film.

Handled by Beta, Telefonica-Movistar Plus’ “La Zona,” a thriller set in a nuclear plant meltdown, has been taken by Starz in the U.S., France’s Canal Plus and Germany’s Zdf.

“We are at a key moment where non-traditional territories are betting on Spanish drama,” Gockel adds.

“Money Heist” came close to being a global Netflix phenomenon.

Madrid — Marta Hazas, who has leapt to fame as the absolute lead of “Velvet Collection” – Movistar + first original series which it sold to Netflix – will now star opposite series creator Javier Veiga in “Pequeñas Coincidencias,” a more unusual romantic comedy which marks several new milestones in Spain’s fast evolving high-end production industry.

Produced by Atresmedia Studios, Onza Entertainment and MedioLimón, “Pequeñas Coincidencias” (“Little Coincidences”) is Amazon Prime Video’s first fiction series in Spain. Amazon Prime Video has rights to Spain and Latin America. Otherwise, Onza will sell the world, with Onza’s Gonzalo Sagardia bringing one of the highest-profile of new productions from Spain onto the market at Mipcom.

Onza is in discussions for a U.S. sale on “Pequeñas coincidencias,” Sagardia said.

Spanish free-to-air rights are held by broadcast network Atresmedia, Atresmedia Studios’ parent company.

CBS is developing an interesting new supernatural police drama called Far Rockaway. Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek: Discovery) is producing the series and it based on the Spanish format series titled Estoy Vivo. The show is being written by David Wilcox and this is what it’s about:

A workaholic NYPD detective killed in the line of duty is granted a second chance to return to earth in the body of another cop in order to bring his killer to justice and heal the fractured family he left behind.

I’m in! This sounds like a solid concept that will make for a good series. Although, there was a series that Fox produced a couple years ago called Second Chance, which centered on a murdered cop who was brought back to life in the body of a younger man. I don’t remember it being very good, so maybe this one will be better.

CBS is developing a drama series based on the Spanish show “Estoy Vivo,” Variety has learned.

The American version is titled “Far Rockaway.” In the show, a workaholic NYPD detective killed in the line of duty is granted a second chance to return to earth in the body of another cop in order to bring his killer to justice and heal the fractured family he left behind.

CBS has put in development drama Far Rockaway, from writer David Wilcox (CBS’ Bull), Alex Kurtzman’s Secret Hideout (Star Trek: Discovery) and CBS TV Studios where Secret Hideout is based.
