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.

No one likes going to the doctor, but for some reason, a lot of us can't seem to get enough of watching fake doctors on TV. Medical drama series have been popular on the small screen for what feels like forever, and whether these procedurals are following the high-pressured jobs of doctors, nurses, paramedics, or any essential worker, there's an audience ready and waiting to tune in.

In August 2024, Netflix released its Spanish medical drama series Breathless (also known as Respira) from the creators of the now-ended teen thriller Elite. The series centers on a public hospital in Valencia that experiences changes when a public figure seeks treatment. Breathless stars Blanca Suárez, Manu Rios, Najwa Nimri, Alfonso Bassave, and more talented actors in the ensemble cast.

Like most medical drama series, Breathless doesn't solely focus on the heart-pounding and sometimes downright bone-chilling life-or-death situations that happen in a hospital. There's also romance,...

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

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.
