Netflix marked its first decade in Spain with a red-carpet gala at Madrid’s Galería de Cristal on 10 June, where co-ceo Ted Sarandos pledged to invest more than €1 billion in local production between 2025 and 2028. The celebration also unveiled a new slate built around three of the country’s most recognisable faces.

Ester Expósito headlines Polo Menárguez’s psychological drama El Talento, shot last autumn in the Basque Country and set for a 5 September theatrical bow before streaming on Netflix. Adapted from Arthur Schnitzler’s novella Fräulein Else, the film casts Expósito as a prodigy forced into a harrowing moral bargain, positioning the Élite alum for her highest-profile cinema role to date.

Álvaro Morte confirmed on Rtve’s Late Xou that he will lead Dos Tumbas, an eight-episode thriller written by the Carmen Mola collective and directed by Kike Maíllo, centred on the disappearance of two teenagers and driven by a grandmother-detective played by Kiti Mánver.

Chilean reggaeton is everywhere. Back in 2022, Cris Mj’s ”Una Noche en Medellín” went so immensely viral it caught the eye of Colombian perreo queen Karol G, who eventually drafted him for a remix that swelled with new life on her blockbuster LP Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season). Mj again popped up on last year’s summer smash, “Gata Only,” propelled into the stratosphere by rising star FloyyMenor and his warbled, not-always-sensical wordplay, even landing on President Barack Obama’s famed end-of-year playlist. While this recent string of chart-toppers has...

Spain has a long and fruitful tradition of producing horror films that elevate the genre and become enduring classics domestically and abroad – think Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza’s “[Rec],” J.A. Bayona’s “El Orphanage” or Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar nominee “Pan’s Labyrinth.” This year’s San Sebastian Film Festival is debuting a new candidate to join that prestigious list of modern classics, Pedro Martín-Calero’s “The Wailing.”

In the film, three young women separated by decades and thousands of miles are terrorized by the same ethereal threat that nobody, not even they, can properly see.

Outer Banks is considered by so many as one of the most fun teen Netflix originals, and they are correct. Created by Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke, the series has something for everyone from romance to teen drama and from adventure to action, and after Season 3 the Netflix series has proven to be a big project for the streamer. So, if you loved the romance, friendships, adventure, and a ton of teen drama in Outer Banks here are some similar shows you should check out while waiting for Season 4.

Surviving Summer (Netflix) Credit – Netflix

Surviving Summer is an Australian teen drama series created by Joanna Werner and Josh Mapleston. The Netflix series follows Summer Torres, a rebellious teenage girl as she is expelled from her school in Brooklyn, New York, and moves to Australia where she quickly gets into surfing and becomes a part of a surfing group.

Elite season 8's murder lacks excitement. The characters are inconsistent and hard to root for. The series finale is fitting, but the story offers very few surprises along the way.

Elite follows a group of teenagers who study at Las Encinas, a super-exclusive school attended by those with a lot of money and power in society. One of the biggest aspects of the teen drama is the culture clash between those with scholarships and the ones who pay to go to the school. Elite season 8 once again explores that element, with students getting into situations that put them and their loved ones in danger. As with every season, Elite's final year once again revolves around a murder, but it feels like the same old in many ways.

La película es el retrato de tres mujeres que, en momentos distintos del tiempo y conectadas sin saberlo, se enfrentan a una amenaza que las trasciende.

En “El Llanto”, algo acecha a Andrea, pero nadie, ni siquiera ella misma, puede verlo a simple vista. Hace veinte años, a diez mil kilómetros, la misma presencia aterrorizaba a Marie. Camila fue la única persona que pudo entender lo que le ocurría, pero nadie las creyó. Al enfrentarse a esa amenaza opresiva, las tres escuchan el mismo sonido sobrecogedor. Un llanto.

From acclaimed Mexican director Amat Escalante, following Heli, for which he won Best Director at Cannes in 2013, and The Untamed, which won him the Best Director prize at Venice in 2016, comes Lost In The Night, a taut, engrossing thriller that blends traditional elements of Latin American cinema with astute social commentary on Mexican society and contemporary influencer culture.

The film, which premiered at Cannes this year, stars Juan Daniel García Treviño (Narcos México), and Latin American influencer superstar Ester Expósito, who has 27 million followers, and features a superb score by Stranger Things composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein.

Bandidos: a Netflix hit with a diverse cast, combining comedy, action, and adventure for a thrilling heist series. Watch as treasure hunters in Mexico brave risks for the Snake King's treasure in this top 10 TV show. Miguel, Lilí, and Wilson lead a dynamic crew facing danger and betrayal on their quest for riches.

Bandidos is a seven-episode heist comedy-drama boasting an elaborate ensemble cast of characters. The Mexican-American production premiered on Netflix on March 13, 2024. Loosely translating to "robbers" in Spanish, Bandidos follows a group of treasure hunters as they embark on a perilous underwater adventure, seeking a coveted Mayan artifact called the Snake King's treasure. Netflix's Spanish-language show is created by Pablo Tébar and directed by Adrian Grünberg and Javier Ruiz Caldera, and stars Alfonso Dosal, Ester Expósito, and Juan Pablo Medina in the lead roles.

Set mainly in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, Bandidos was filmed in various locations including Mérida,...

“We’re the perfect bandits. What could possibly go wrong?”

That’s how Bandidos, an action-adventure series about a ragtag crew of bounty hunters searching for the biggest treasure in human history, begins. Turns out… a lot can go wrong. Though they have the key to secure the bag — a treasure map that takes them to ancient ruins and tropical locales — they’re not the only ones hunting it down.

From creator Pablo Tébar (Diablero), Bandidos was directed by Adrian Grünberg (Rambo: Last Blood) and Javier Ruiz Caldera (Spy Time). The series stars Alfonso Dosal, Ester Expósito, and Juan Pablo Medina.

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.

Expósito’s talent and dedication quickly caught the attention of industry insiders. In 2013 and 2015, she received recognition for her acting skills, winning the Best Actress award at the Madrid Theater Awards. These early accolades set the stage for what was to come in her career.

One of Expósito’s most significant breakthroughs came with her role in the Netflix teen drama series, Élite. She portrayed the character of Carla Rosón Caleruega, a complex and intriguing character that captured the attention of audiences worldwide. Expósito’s portrayal of Carla showcased her ability to bring depth and authenticity to her performances, solidifying her...

Todos los detalles de la próxima serie española de vampiros encabezada por Anna Castillo y Ester Expósito.

Después de abordar temas crudos y socialmente relevantes en “Cerdita”, Carlota Pereda se sumerge en el género del thriller vampírico con su primera serie titulada “Que Muera el Amor”, protagonizada por las talentosas Anna Castillo y Ester Expósito.

Aunque no se conocen muchos detalles de la trama, la serie trata de una vampiresa abandonada que intenta superar la separación de su ex, también vampiresa, a lo largo de varios siglos. La directora, además, ha descrito la serie como “una propuesta visceral y romántica”.

Anna Castillo, ganadora del Goya a la mejor actriz revelación en 2016, ha protagonizado éxitos en Netflix como “Un Cuento Perfecto” o “Nowhere”. Por otro lado, Ester Expósito, conocida por su papel en las primeras temporadas de “Élite”, ha diversificado su repertorio con proyectos como “Alguien Tiene que Morir” y “Venus...

Two Spanish female stars who have broken out to huge global audiences in Netflix hits – “Nowhere” and “A Perfect Story” lead Anna Castillo and Ester Expósito, highly prominent in “Elite” in early seasons – are set to star in dramedic vampire thriller “Death to Love,” (“Que muera el amor”), the first series created by “Piggy” director Carlota Pereda, who will also serve as its showrunner.

“If there are two actresses you can believe are immortals, with their out-of-this-world allure and talent, it’s Anna and Ester. I can’t wait to explore this world of darkness, joy and Eternal Love with them,” Pereda told Variety.

"Is ingenuity — and a pinch of good luck — enough to save this band of thieves with an improvised plan?" Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for a Spanish language adventure comedy, tropical heist series titled Bandidos, arriving for streaming in March. This "Bandits" series features a massive underwater heist and other adventures along the paradise that is the Mexican Caribbean. A Mayan treasure never seen before... until now. Will they be able to achieve their great heist with an improvised plan and a bit of good luck? The exciting adventure series follows the story of Miguel and his accomplice Lilí, who are joined by a group of bandits as they attempt to retrieve treasure from an underwater grave of a Spanish galleon that sunk in the Gulf of Mexico during the War of Independence. However, they’re not the only ones after this highly sought after bounty. Bandidos stars Alfonso Dosal,...

Seven years after his mesmerizing sci-fi drama on extraterrestrial sex, “The Untamed,” genre-defying Mexican auteur Amat Escalante switches gears once again to try his hand at a sharp-edged, quasi-detective story with “Lost in the Night.” His approach expectedly deviates from a straightforward whodunit. Escalante rejects both simplified villainy and stainless heroism, crafting individuals with clear motivations who never stop to consider their actions through a moral filter. The result is an at times jarring but always intriguing enigma that escapes facile classification, especially because it tends to veer into absurdism.

In just a handful of years since his breakout role in Fernando Frías de la Parra’s “I’m No Longer Here,” Juan Daniel García Treviño has become a familiar face in Mexican cinema, usually playing a member of a criminal organization. Here, Escalante pushes against such typecasting and places him on the righteous side of the fence, as Emiliano, a...

At one point, it seemed like Elite was unstoppable.

The Spanish teen drama kicked off on Netflix in 2018 and became one of the streaming service's most popular series.

As the years have passed, the cast has been refreshed consistently to keep the drama fresh and exciting.

The latest seasons have failed to live up to the hype of the initial three seasons, and now, it's all ending.

On Wednesday morning, Netflix announced via social media that Elite Season 8 would bring the series to a close.

The news broke two days before the premiere of Elite Season 7, so those still hooked on the series still have plenty to look forward to.

The original cast included María Pedraza, Itzan Escamilla, Miguel Bernardeau, and Miguel Herrán. 

Also on the original cast are Jaime Lorente, Álvaro Rico, Arón Piper, Mina El Hammani, Ester Expósito, Omar Ayuso, and Danna Paola.

In Veneciafrenia, “In nature there is an indissoluble link between beauty and death. The human being, indebted to his environment, imitates what he observes. Like mosquitoes drawn to the brightest lighthouse, tourists are turning off the light in the most beautiful city on the planet. The agony of the past...

That’s a wrap on the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

Movie stars, cinephiles, press and jet-set glitterati mixed with celebrated auteurs and the international film industry’s next generation on the French Riviera for a jam-packed schedule of black-tie world premieres, starry gatherings and beach-set parties. And what a run it was from May 16-27.

After opening with the world premiere of Maïwenn’s Johnny Depp starrer Jeanne du Barry, the festival screened such titles as Sam Levinson, The Weeknd and Reza Fahim’s The Idol; Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon; Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City; Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire’s Black Flies; Karim Aïnouz’s Firebrand,; Todd Haynes’ May December; Ken Loach’s The Old Oak; and Justine Triet’s Palme d’Or winner Anatomy of a Fall.

To get a more exclusive look behind the iconic red carpet-laden steps of the Palais, The Hollywood Reporter once again partnered...

Cannes frequently gets criticized for the paucity of Latin American representation in the main competition, so it was widely assumed that the new feature from festival veteran Amat Escalante, the 2013 best director winner for Heli, would be guaranteed a spot. Sad to report that watching Lost in the Night (Perdidos en la noche), it’s easy to see why it was shuffled off to a sidebar. The Mexican filmmaker moves out from the shadow of his former mentor, Carlos Reygadas, with his most accessible work to date in this revenge thriller, which is engrossing enough but also a bit meandering and underpowered.

Escalante’s fifth feature takes its cues more from his experience in television on Narcos: Mexico than from his previous big-screen work, which could in theory bring him to a wider audience. But it lacks the tight cohesion of that series at its best, and softens the jarring intensity,...

Every killer's story in Elite is unique as their motives are at the heart of several other storylines and mysteries. First streaming on Netflix in 2018, the Spanish teen drama followed the lives of several students attending a prestigious high school, known as Las Encinas. While close friends, Samuel (Itzan Escamilla), Nadia (Mina El Hamanni), and Christian (Miguel Herrán), are excited to start afresh at the elite institute, they soon find themselves regretting their decision as they find themselves involved in a murder investigation after their classmate, Marina (María Pedraza), is killed. What follows is a chain of chaotic events, resulting in several violent confrontations, huge betrayals, and tense rivalries.

Unfortunately, Marina isn't the only character who ends up suffering a tragic fate. As the seasons go on, head writers Carlos Montero and Darío Madrona continued to take huge risks...

Amat Escalante’s title debuted in the Cannes Premiere section.

Mexican auteur Amat Escalante’s Lost In The Night is to be released in the UK and Ireland by Sovereign, following its debut in the Cannes Premiere section.

Sovereign is aiming for a late 2023, early 2024 theatrical release, with The Match Factory handling international sales.

The social thriller tells the story of a Mexican activist who disappears without a trace following her protests against the local mining industry. Five years later, her son attempts to find the culprit.

It was written by Escalante in collaboration with his brother Martín Escalante and Paulina Mendoza.

When Ester Expósito walked the red carpet in Cannes two years ago, she swore she’d be back.

“I was here for a brand, to show off some jewelry,” says the actress, who became a fashion trendsetter and online influencer — with 28 million followers on Instagram — after her turn as the cold, manipulative Carla Rosón Caleruega in Netflix’s Spanish teen drama hit Elite. “But when I was up there on those steps, I thought: ‘I’m going to come back soon, not with a brand with a movie.”

As good as her word, Expósito has returned to the Croisette this year as one of the stars of Lost in the Night, the new crime drama from Mexican director Amat Escalante, which premiered in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard and is being sold worldwide by The Match Factory.

Escalante seems a long way from the soapy prep school world of Elite. The Mexican helmer,...

When Rigoberto Duplas, the worrying conceptual artist and antagonist of Amat Escalante’s new film, tells Emiliano, our steadfast lead, that the cheap glass in his modernist mansion has a tendency to “rattle,” it sounds like a dig. Luckily, it’s a tendency our hero doesn’t share. Played with furrowed seriousness by Juan Daniel García (a standout in the recent Robe of Gems), Emiliano is the most convincing part of Escalante’s muddled mystery: a film about a young man on a mission to avenge his mother who disappeared after protesting the sale of a local mine.

After breaking out in Un Certain Regard with Blood in 2005, Escalante’s ascension on the festival circuit has been nothing if not steady: awarded best director for Heli by Steven Spielberg’s jury in 2013, the director followed that success with a Silver Lion in Venice for The Untamed in 2016. That agreeably slimy...

One of the most anticipated recent additions to the Cannes Film Festival lineup hails from Mexican director Amat Escalante, who returns to the festival after winning Best Director for Heli and whose last feature was 2016’s genre-defying thriller The Untamed, for which he won Best Director at Venice. Lost in the Night, starring Juan Daniel Garcia, Barbara Mori, Ester Exposito, Fernando Bonilla, and Maria Fernanda Osio, will debut in the Cannes Premiere section of the festival and we’re pleased to debut new images from the film, which clocks in at 113 minutes.

“Emiliano lives in a small mining town in Mexico. Motivated by a deep sense of justice, he searches for those responsible for the disappearance of his activist mother who was standing up for local jobs against an international mining company,” reads the synopsis. “Receiving no help from the police or judicial system, he finds a clue that leads...

Sony Pictures International Productions and Amazon Prime Video recently joined forces with Álex de la Iglesia on the feature film series “The Fear Collection.” It kicked off with Álex de la Iglesia‘s Veneciafrenia, and next up is Venus, hailing from Jaume Balagueró ([Rec], [Rec 2], Sleep Tight).

The second film in the anthology film series is described as a supernatural horror story that’s set in an urban survival environment with elements of modern witchery.

Venus is inspired by Hp Lovecraft’s “Dreams in the Witch House” and stars Ester Expósito, Ángela Cremonte, Magüi Mira, Fernando Valdivieso and Federico Aguado.

We’ve learned today that Venus has been rated “R” for…

“Strong bloody violence, language, and some drug use.”

You can watch the international trailer below.

Meagan wrote in her TIFF review for Bd, “Venus makes for a slick and breezy action-horror movie far more memorable for its gruesome high-octane thrills than its cosmic chills.

In a year when four Spanish titles made the shortlist for the Academy Award best live action short and illustrious short filmmakers have or are making the transition from to feature – think Estibaliz Urresola with “Cuerdas,· now Berlin winner “20,000 Species of Bees” and now Pedro Martín-Calero with “The Wailing,” starring Ester Expósito – Malaga’s Mafiz-Spanish Screenings has launched a Short Film Corner.

Following, five standout shorts from a dizzying selection of 58 titles, which are accompanied by round tables and presentations at an immediately fully-fledged major new section at the Malaga Festival and Spanish Screenings.

“Mourn,” (Marc Borràs)

Inspired by Johnna Adams’ play “Gideon’s Knot,” “Mourn” (“Duelo”) revolves around a classroom meeting between a troubled teacher (Àngels López) and an angry and mourning mother (Sandra Molins) who blames her for a seemingly avoidable tragedy. Molins and López’s intense and emotional performances result in a powerful and agonizing confrontation.

Ester Expósito, one of the stars of Netflix global hit “Elite,” is attached to star “The Wailing” (“El Llanto”), co-written by Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s regular co-scribe Isabel Peña (“The Beasts”) and directed by talent-to-track Pedro Martín-Calero (“Secrets”). It’s one of the most powerful Spanish-language packages being brought onto Berlin’s European Film Market.

The auteur genre movie has gone into production, shooting in Madrid, Buenos Aires and La Plata.

Film Factory Entertainment has acquired international rights. “The Wailing” is lead produced by on-the-rise Madrid production house Caballo Films, behind Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s films, including “The Beasts,” a best picture Goya on Feb. 11.

The feature debut of Spain’s Pedro Martín-Calero, “The Wailing” turns on a seemingly invisible evil. “No one can see it with the naked eye, but its presence has always been there. 20 years ago he stalked Camila and Marie. Now, 10,000 kilometers away, Andrea has begun to hear the wailing,...

Sony Pictures International Productions and Amazon Prime Video recently joined forces with Álex de la Iglesia on the feature film series “The Fear Collection”.

It kicked off with Álex de la Iglesia‘s Veneciafrenia, released in Spain last November.

Next up is Venus, hailing from horror veteran Jaume Balagueró, the co-director of Rec and Rec 2, not to mention the filmmaker behind Sleep Tight and The Darkness.

The second film in the anthology film series is described as a supernatural horror story that’s set in an urban survival environment with elements of modern witchery.

Following its World Premiere in the Midnight Madness program of the Toronto International Film Festival (read Meagan’s review here), Bloody Disgusting has the official international trailer for the film the fest described as “cosmic horror within the concrete corridors of a cursed apartment complex on the outskirts of Madrid.”

Venus is inspired by Hp Lovecraft...
