Max has made its first series order in Spain.
Last year, Max owner Warner Bros Discovery decided to pull out of production in much of Europe and underwent a period of painful cuts, but Spain was one of the few countries in Europe to avoid the cull.

Daniel Corpas leads the writing team, with the collaboration of Arturo Ruiz and Isa Sanchez. Enrique Urbizu (No Rest for the Wicked, La Caja 507) will direct.

Lucía Gutiérrez is a sergeant of the Spanish Civil Guard investigating the bizarre suicide of a neighbour and strange events that have taken place during the first Holy Week float processions.
