Paramount Pictures ha compartido el primer tráiler y póster de Los Muértimer, una película de comedia, misterio y terror, basada en la trilogía de cómics homónima de la ilustradora francesa Léa Mazé.

En Los Muértimer, Nico (Diego Montejo) es un chico inteligente e introvertido de quince años que sufre bullying porque sus padres son dueños de la única funeraria del pueblo. Con la esperanza de hacer un amigo, participa en un programa de intercambio cultural. Solo hay un problema: el chico de intercambio resulta ser una chica, Gabrielle (Iratxe Emparan), una francesa de espíritu desafiante acostumbrada a todo menos a vivir rodeada de muertos. Cuando Pol (Pepe Lorente), el tallador de lápidas, les cuenta una de las muchas historias misteriosas que esconde el cementerio, deciden investigar. El descubrimiento de un cadáver y unas joyas robadas va más allá de lo que esperaban.

Filmax has acquired international rights to “The Mortimers,” a new family-friendly comedy-adventure from Telecinco Cinema and Álex de la Iglesia’s Pokeepsie Films. Combining mystery, terror and dark humor, the film tells the story of five teenagers who uncover a jewel theft plot in a cemetery.

“The Mortimers,” cleverly titled ‘Los Muertimer’ in Spanish, is adapted from “Les Croques,” a best-selling French comic trilogy by illustrator Léa Mazé, who was awarded the Prize for Best Children’s Comic by France’s Association of Journalists and Critics of the Comic Book in 2018.

The plot centers on Nico, a 15-year-old loner bullied at school due to his parents’ funeral business. Through a cultural exchange program, he meets Gabi, a rebellious French girl. Their unlikely friendship leads them, and three of Nico’s tormentors, into a dark investigation after discovering a hidden corpse and stolen jewelry.

Directed by Álvaro Fernández-Armero, the film features...

Tras su paso por el Festival de Málaga, Lo que queda de ti se perfiló como una de las grandes óperas primas españolas de la temporada. Una película que sigue a Sara (Laia Manzanares), una joven pianista de jazz obligada a regresar a su pueblo natal tras la repentina muerte de su padre. Allí, ella y su hermana deben decidir qué hacer con la granja familiar. Fuimos afortunados de verla y, como comentamos en nuestra crítica, «se consagra como una espléndida ópera prima que coloca a Gala Gracia en el futuro del cine español.

Hip, hip, hooray! It's the weekend, and what better way to unwind than with a thrilling Netflix binge? The streamer has an amazing selection of shows, and if you're craving suspenseful mysteries with unexpected twists, look no further than Harlan Coben's captivating series.

With 10 series adaptations of his novels and one original series available on the platform, it can be a challenge to figure out where to begin. But don't stress! That's where we at Show Snob come in to help you pick the best ones. You don’t want to waste your time, and neither do we.

So, we've narrowed down the top four must-watch Harlan Coben series currently streaming on Netflix and put together a list. Each one of these shows will keep you hooked from the very first episode to the last. You're not going to want to be disturbed for even a second as each moment unravels new secrets,...

Don't you just love a good thriller? The kind that keeps you guessing, second-guessing, and maybe even gasping out loud? Harlan Coben has mastered that formula, and he has plenty of binge-worthy thrillers currently streaming on Netflix. While a few have gotten the recognition they deserve, there are some underrated gems that might’ve flown under your radar. Well, it’s time to fix that.

Below, we shared three overlooked Harlan Coben Netflix series that deliver all the suspense, mystery, and mind-blowing twists you crave and then some. Believe me. You'll thank me later once you’ve binged your way through these hidden gems and found yourself wondering how they ever slipped past your radar in the first place!

Alright. Some might argue that Safe isn't underrated because it had a...

2025 has gotten off to a great start with three new Harlan Coben adaptations released on Netflix. They are Missing You, Just One Look and Caught. But while all three bring their fair share of suspense and mystery, none of them I would consider the best out of the adaptations currently streaming. Missing You could be in the running, but I'd place Fool Me Once ahead of it. In fact, not even Fool Me Once takes the crown as the best Harlan Coben Netflix show. The series that I have in mind is underrated. It's a show that deserves way more recognition than it’s gotten. It's none other than The Innocent, or El inocente in Spanish.

This mystery thriller rarely gets mentioned when people talk about the best Harlan Coben adaptations, which is a real shame because it’s truly a hidden gem. Maybe the fact that it’s in...

Harlan Coben struck a five-year deal with Netflix in 2018 to adapt some of his most famous and successful novels. The shows did very well on the platform, so they renewed the deal to continue the partnership, which now includes a Latin American adaptation.

Coben penned 35 novels that have reportedly sold 80 million copies and have been translated into 46 languages. Netflix already boasts a slate filled with limited series adaptations, most of them in English. However, 2025 brought the first Latin American adaptation of Caught, which is already a hit on the platform, per Tudum.

Caught is not the first series in Spanish, as Coben's 2005 novel The Innocent was adapted into an eight-episode limited series in 2021 starring Mario Casas, Alexandra Jiménez, Aura Garrido, José Coronado, and Martina Gusmá. However, it's the first one from Latin America.

The limited series Caught, which is based on Coben's 2010 novel of the same name, premiered on the platform on Mar.

Spain’s Latido Films has acquired three titles ahead of their world premieres at the Málaga Film Festival, including competition title Away.

Local star Mario Casas headlines as a man who travels to the Dutch city of Utrecht with his family for a football match. After experiencing a panic attack, he decides to remain in the city, severing all ties with his past and with no money, friends, home or knowledge of the language.

It is directed by first-time feature filmmaker Gerard Oms and produced by Barcelona’s Zabriskie Films has produced the film with Revolver Amsterdam.

“This semi-autobiographical film...

Everyone’s tuning in to Missing You on Netflix, and with only five episodes, it’s quick to binge-watch in no time! If you found yourself hooked on this mystery thriller and are craving more of Harlan Coben’s thrilling storytelling, you're in luck.

This New York Times bestselling author has many other shows similar to Missing You streaming on Netflix. This is due to his overall deal with the streamer, which involves him adapting his books into TV shows and movies for the streaming platform. Missing You is his most recent Netflix series adaptation, but many of his other books have already been turned into shows for the streaming service.

However, that doesn't mean they're all entertaining. We would hate for you to waste your time going through the rest of Coben's collection on Netflix without knowing which ones are truly worth the binge. That's why we're about to...

Netflix launched two new film titles and shared details on several projects currently in development at a buzzy showcase this afternoon at the San Sebastian Film Festival.

The streamer announced at the event that it will back two new genre projects, Cortafuego directed by David Victori (Cross The Line), and The Black Widow from filmmaker Carlos Sedes (The Summer We Lived).

The Black Widow will be produced by Ramón Campos, Bambú Producciones. The official synopsis shared by the streamer reads: August 2017. The body of a man appears in a parking lot in Valencia, stabbed seven times. Everything points to a crime of passion. The city’s Homicide Group, led by a veteran inspector, begins an investigation against the clock that soon leads them to a suspect that no one expected: Maje, the young widow, sweet and serene, who had been married to the victim for less than a year.

Comienza en Bizkaia el rodaje de “Los Muértimer”, una película de comedia basada en la trilogía de cómics homónima de la ilustradora francesa Léa Mazé.

En “Los Muértimer”, Gabi, una estudiante de intercambio, llega a un pequeño pueblo en el Valle de Murrieta, España, donde se aloja con una familia que regenta una funeraria. Tanto Gabi como Nico, el hijo de la familia, sufren acoso escolar debido a la peculiar profesión de los Mortimer. Ambos chicos encuentran refugio en el cementerio del pueblo, donde nadie se mete con ellos. Un día, el tallador de lápidas les cuenta una historia paranormal que los lleva a investigar.

The NBC series "Cheers" ran for 11 seasons from 1982-1993. The show, which earned an incredible 28 Primetime Emmy Awards during its run, took place in a bar in Boston. Former baseball star Sam Malone (Ted Danson) now runs a bar and has an on-again-off-again relationship with Diane Chambers (Shelley Long), a sort of stuck-up woman who has to become a cocktail waitress to make ends meet. The bar was littered with characters like Norm (George Wendt), a barfly whose name everyone does indeed know, Cliff (John Ratzenberger), the bar know-it-all, Carla (Rhea Perlman), the acerbic waitress, Coach (Nicholas Colasanto), the doddering but loveable owner, and Woody (Woody Harrelson) as the dopey bartender. Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer), the prissy psychiatrist who got his own show out of it (that is currently in revival form), also appeared, as well as Rebecca (Kirstie Alley), who replaced Diane as a waitress and love interest after Long left.

Barcelona-based studio Filmax has scooped international rights to “Just One Small Favor,” the new film from Zeta Studios, which is behind Netflix smash hit “Elite” and HBO Max Spanish banner title “García!”

Released in Spain by Universal on Nov. 10, “Favor” will receive its market premiere at this week’s American Film Market.

Directed by Juana Macías (“We Are Pregnant”), the acerbic screwball family comedy is set at the swanky summer home of the well-off Gallardos, cared for meticulously by Amparito, a second mother to the three children.

In her dying wish, she asked to be buried in the family vault. When the Gallardos refuse, they receive letters from Amparito, revealing skeletons in the closet and damaging home truths, turning their lives upside down.

“‘Just One Small Favor,’ is a screwball, situation comedy, with acerbic wit and a good dose of bad blood,” said Macías.

“The whole story plays out over one,...

Cementing its reputation as a harbinger of emerging talent, Madrid-based Latido Films has acquired the international sales rights to “Tras el Verano,” the debut film from Yolanda Centeno picked out as one of Variety’s 10 Women Directors to Watch from Spain, compiled in 2021.

Alfa Pictures is handling distribution in Spain.

Following on hits such as Colombia’s “Killing Jesus” and “Carmen & Lola” and “Lullaby” from Spain, this acquisition not only underscores Latido’s interest in nurturing and promoting fresh, innovative voices in cinema but also highlights the strength of a new generation of talent emanating from the Spanish-speaking world.

Centeno’s debut feature has attracted strong talent in the form of Goya and Gaudi winners Ruth Gabriel (“Numbered Days”) and Alexandra Jiménez (“The Distances” “100 Metres”).

Joining them is actor Juan Diego Botto whose own directorial debut “On The Fringe” reaped recognition at the Goyas, Venice and other festivals.

Oscar award-winning veteran producer Gerardo Herrero, (“The Secret In Their Eyes”) returns to the director’s chair with “Under Therapy,” his stark and unnerving big screen rendition of playwright Matías Del Federico’s theatrical production. The project bowed in competition at the Málaga Film festival earlier this week and is set for broader theatrical release in Spanish cinemas on Friday.

Latido Films handles international sales.

Enamored with the staged rendition, Herrero was inspired to add a distinctly cinematic touch to the script, honoring its darker underpinnings amidst the narratives’ anxious banter.

“The first time that I saw the production, I fell in love with the work,” Herrero told Variety. “Despite the fact that the show’s very well directed, written and performed, for me it’s much lighter than the movie. The movie’s not a comedy, it’s a drama with humor,” he revealed. “I love that they laugh and that afterwards they freeze,...

Running March 10-19, and now hosting the Spanish Screenings, the Malaga Film Festival is now firmly established as Spain’s biggest movie event in the early part of the year. Strategically positioned fairly sharp on the heels of the Berlinale, the Spanish event offers top Spanish titles at the German festival the chance to consolidate their reputations while often producing new discoveries, especially from first-time directors.

Many titles, from a Spanish film industry whose younger directors are highly social conscience and favor art-house, are issue driven.

“There’s a search for identity, whether a young trans girl’s exploration of gender identity or young leads to understand the world they live in, or the search for love and a sense pf strangeness, of being a stranger to oneself,” Juan Antonio Vigar, Málaga Film Festival director said of this year’s main Competition. Following, a brief breakdown of its titles.

Elena Trapé, whose character-driven ensemble pieces “Blog” and “The Distances” marked her out as a talent to watch, is attached to direct “Gwendolyne, Diary of a Fan,”, one of two series being brought onto the market at Ventana Sur’s Spanish Screenings by Barcelona-based Coming Soon Films.

Screenplay for “Gewndlyne” is by Marta Buisán and Jordi Casado and Miguel Ibánez Monroy.

Led by Marta Ramírez, post-production coordinator on J.A. Bayona’s “The Orphanage,” Coming Soon, which already produced Trapé’s “The Distances,” is also introducing in Buenos Aires “The Summer of Dead Toys,” (“El verano de los juguetes muertos”), a procedural adapting Catalan Tony Hill’s acclaimed debut crime novel of the same title, produced with Barcelona’s Corte y Confección de Películas.

Italy’s Lotus Production, producer of 2016 megahit “Perfetti Sconosciuti” (“Perfect Strangers”), has finished its Rome shoot of “Vicini di casa,” the Italian adaptation of Cesc Gay’s Spanish hit comedy “Sentimental” (“The People Upstairs”).

“Vicini di casa” teams Lotus, part of Italy’s Leone Film Group company, with Manuel Tedescos’ Baires Produzioni in association with Mediaset Group’s Medusa Film.

Directed by Paolo Costella, who was also one of the writers behind “Perfect Strangers,” “Vicini di casa” marks the first big remake sale of “The People Upstairs” by Spanish film-tv studio Filmax.

Currently in post-production, the cast of “Vicini di casa” is headed by Claudio Bisio, a well-known comedian and star of some huge Italian blockbusters such as “Benvenuti al Sud” and “Welcome, Mr. President.”

Vittoria Puccini (“18 Presents”), Vinicio Marchioni (“Into the Labyrinth”) and Valentina Lodovini (“Say it Loud!”) finish out the film’s roster of onscreen talent.

In 2006, the French feature film adaptation of Harlan Coben’s “Tell No One” set a precedent that the author’s work could not only be adapted to the screen, winning a slew of awards including four Cesars, but that it could do so outside of the stories’ native U.S.

In 2018, with a host of popular series and film versions of his stories having been produced across the U.K. and Europe, Netflix’s own adaptation of “Safe” prompted the company to lock down the creator to a five-year deal in which 14 of his novels are to be developed into original Netflix series or films. The first was another U.K. adaptation, this time of his novel “The Stranger” with Poland’s “The Woods” coming shortly after. Most recently, Coben teamed with Spanish thriller maestro Oriol Paulo on “The Innocent” (“El inocente”), which will premiere globally on April 30. Up next...

At one of its increasingly regular presentations, on Thursday Netflix Spain unveiled seven new projects including “If Only,” a Spanish adaptation of the Netflix Turkish original canceled before shooting by Turkish authorities.

Where once Netflix would host its presentations early in the year and announce its ambitions for the next 12 months, the platform’s original Spanish programming pipeline has grown to an extent that Thursday’s showcase only covers the next few months and hinted at plenty more to come in late 2021.

In both level and volume of production, the day’s announcements confirm Netflix as one of if not the, foremost investors in original Spanish series and movies, at the same as its talent pool is expanding to include ever more of the principal producers in Spain. New Netflix originals are now being produced by now-regular partners Nostromo, producers of “The Minions of Midas”; “Élite” producers Zeta Studios; “Money Heist...

The film, currently being shot in Valencia, stars Spanish actors such as Karra Elejalde, Susi Sánchez and Alexandra Jiménez alongside Bulgarian thesps like Ivan Barnev. On 1 February, the shoot kicked off in Valencia for Vasil, the feature debut by Avelina Prat, starring Bulgaria’s Ivan Barnev (The Father), Spaniards Karra Elejalde (While at War), Alexandra Jiménez (Distances) and Susi Sánchez (Sunday’s Illness), and Brit Sue Flack (The Year of the Plague). The movie tells the story of the titular immigrant, a peculiar man who radiates kindness, passion and a bizarre kind of wisdom: he looks at life differently... This story depicts the two months that he spends in Spain, through four characters who accompany him. The main topics tackled by this feature are immigration and the welcome offered to refugees, but it will also prompt reflection on how difficult it is to connect with others and how relating to other.

San Sebastian – Filmax has taken international rights to Álvaro Fernández Armero’s comedy “If I Were a Rich Man.”

Produced by Telecinco Cinema, Think Studio and Ciskul, and backed by Mediaset España and Movistar+, “If I Were a Rich Man” is a Spanish remake of Michel Munz and Gerard Bitton’s French comedy “Ah! Si j’étais riche” (If I Were a Rich Man).

“If I Were a Rich Man” will be released in Spain via Paramount Pictures Oct. 25.

First presented to buyers at the Toronto Film Festival, “If I Were a Rich Man” follows Santi, who, among other problems, is about to divorce his wife. Then he wins the lottery jackpot: €25 million ($27.5 million). The question is: how can he avoid sharing his fortune with his ex?

Especially gifted in comedy, director Fernández Armero presented last year at San Sebastian “Spanish Shame” (co-directed with Juan Cavestany), the first complete TV series screened at this festival,...

Madrid — The 3rd Conecta Fiction, Europe’s biggest Latin American TV co-production forum, wrapped last week in Pamplona after four days of dealing, debate and gastronomic delectation. Following 10 Takeaways from an intense and buoyant event, driven by the unfaltering growth of high-end production in Spain and most of Latin America:

1.Platform Pivot

The writing was on the wall, or more precisely the big screen of an auditorium at Pamplona’s luxurious Baluarte congress center, from the get-go of Conecta Fiction. Drama and mini-series production near tripled in Germany over 2014-18, according to Spain’s Gabinete de Estudios de la Comunicación Audiovisual (Geca). It near doubled in France last year, up to 27 titles, from 13 in 2017. Yet traditional TV viewing is still falling among young audiences, down 28.4% and 20.1% among 14-12s and 13-24s in Spain, for example, said Geca’s Luis de Zubiaurre Wagner, citing Kantor Media. The real money shot...

Spanish actress Alexandra Jiménez and Argentine actor-producer Pablo Echarri are attached to star in Viacom’s TV series redo of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film “To Catch A Thief.”

Created by Javier Olivares, one of Spain’s best-known TV showrunners, the Spanish-language version, titled “Atrapa a un ladrón,” starts to film in Argentina and Spain in February.

The project marks the first original co-production by Viacom International Media Networks Southern and Western Europe, Middle East and Africa and Viacom International Studios Latin America.

The 10-episode series follows, as in the original film, a reformed burglar, this time named Juan Garay, alias “The Cat” (played by Echarri) in his struggle to unveil a mysterious impersonator who is stealing in his name. Jiménez will fill the shoes of Lola Garay, police inspector and Juan’s wife.

Besides robberies and mysteries to solve, the blossoming love story between the two protagonists will add more spice to the action,...

Dir: Javier Ruiz Caldera, 2012

A brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal…sound familiar? Unlike its central band of spectres, the influences on this supernatural Spanish comedy are plain to see. Opening and closing with a prom scene, Ghost Graduation (‘Promoción fantasma’) revisits the American high-school movies of the Eighties, emerging like a cross between Ghostbusters and The Breakfast Club- with more than just a dance montage as a nod to the latter.

Our humble, hangdog hero is Modesto (Raúl Arévalo), a high school teacher plagued with the ability to see the dead. Rather than realise his gift, he instead begins to worry that he’s losing his mind. Regular visits to a psychiatrist only seem to make matters worse- not least because Modesto is distracted by his...

Javier Ruiz Caldera's Ghost Graduation mashes-up The Sixth Sense, Heart and Souls, and The Breakfast Club, and does so with a big smile on its face. Happily aware of the clichés of ghost films, Ghost Graduation has plenty of fun embracing the major rules of the genre (body possession, walking through walls, etc.) while still poking fun at the little quirks. Caldera and his charming cast have created a sweet film that never gets too saccharine, and a nice parody that never becomes too self-aware. Modesto (Raúl Arévalo) has seen dead people since he was in high school. As an adult, he has become a frequently-fired teacher as he continues to see ghosts despite medication and therapy. When a high school begins experiencing an irritating amount of supernatural activity, the open-minded principal, Tina (Alexandra Jiménez), hires Modesto, and they realize that he's not crazy because the school is haunted...

Opening in Spain on March 2, 2012 and featuring one of the worst posters since Can't Harldey Wait comes Spanish Movie director Javier Ruiz Caldera's latest genre outing, Promocion Fantasma (Ghost Graduation), which stars Raúl Arévalo, Alexandra Jiménez, Andrea Duró, Jaime Olías, Alex Maruny, Anna Castillo, Aura Garrido, Javier Bódalo, Joaquín Reyes, Carlos Areces, Silvia Abril, and Luis Varela. "The film focuses on Modesto (Arévalo), a mediocre teacher with a paranormal gift, who is given the responsibility of helping five singular students -- all ghosts -- pass their high school exams and finally leave school." Check out the one sheet and trailer after the break.

It's comforting to know that the United States is not the only country that insists on churning out wretched looking horror comedies. Yep, just like Tribbles on the Enterprise, these things are everywhere. Behold in horror the one-sheet and trailer for Promocion Fantasma (Ghost Graduation).

Directed by Javier Ruiz Caldera (Spanish Movie), the zany flick stars Raúl Arévalo, Alexandra Jiménez, Andrea Duró, Jaime Olías, Alex Maruny, Anna Castillo, Aura Garrido, Javier Bódalo, Joaquín Reyes, Carlos Areces, Silvia Abril, and Luis Varela.

A new one-sheet and trailer have arrived for Javier Ruiz Caldera's new Spanish horror comedy 'Promocion fantasma' (Aka 'Ghost Graduation'). The new one-sheet for the movie makes it look more like an 'American Pie' sequel (or 'Spanish Pie' I guess), but at least the trailer moulds it more into supernatural territory. I'm certain that if any of us here at the Horror Asylum spoke Spanish we'd probably think everything being said in the new trailer would be hilarious! Perhaps one of our Spanish readers could give us a heads up on this. Either way the trailer features hot Spanish schoolgirls, possession and a Ouiji board so do we really care at this stage?

In a perfect world if there were such a thing as a ghost school, then Beetlejuice would be a teacher of Yoda-like proportions. Sadly, this world sucks and the ghost with the most has been missing since his initial outing. Good thing we have a new horror comedy on the way to cheer us up.
