Esta es la breve historia del breve reinado, el breve matrimonio y la breve vida de Luis I… el Breve. © Movistar Plus+

Movistar Plus+ ha compartido el primer tráiler y póster de su nueva serie original, La vida breve, dirigida por Adolfo Valor y Diego Núñez, y creada y escrita por Cristóbal Garrido y Valor.

Se trata de una serie de época, llena de humor e irreverencia, que recrea los sorprendentes acontecimientos que tuvieron lugar durante el reinado más corto de la historia de España con el monarca más desconocido: Luis I, hijo de Felipe V. Permaneció en el trono 229 días, desde el 15 de enero de 1724 hasta su muerte el 31 de agosto de ese mismo año.

Como cualquier joven, Luis (Carlos Scholz) está a punto de experimentar grandes cambios. Le casan con una prima desconocida y va a heredar el trono de España. En pleno siglo Xviii esto sería un...

Raquel (Clara Galle) and Ares (Julio Peña) had a rocky on-again, off-again relationship, but they got a happy ending in Through My Window 3: Looking at You. Ares and Raquel have been the main couple of the entire trilogy, experiencing steamy romance and crushing breakups throughout. Looking at You is the final installment of the Netflix original trilogy, so they had to make a final decision about their relationship, one way or another.

As the final chapter and one of the best movies in the Through My Window trilogy, Looking at You had a lot of story lines left to wrap up. After Through My Window: Across the Sea's ending and Yoshi's tragic death, everyone's life had taken a turn for the worse. Raquel and Ares were in new relationships, though neither compared to the love they once shared, and the rest of the cast of Through My Window: Looking at You...

Netflix’s all-out assault on the Spanish-language content market is paying off.

The latest Netflix ‘What We Watched’ data dump — or ‘engagement report’ in the streamer’s lexicon — shows seven Spanish-language TV shows, including Money Heist spin-off Berlin, were in the 100 most-watched for the January to June period this year. A further three films made the top 100 in that chart, including Society of the Snow (aka La Sociedad de la Niece) at number three with 103.8 million views.

Netflix has made Spanish-language content, and specifically originals produced out of its huge studios just outside of Spain’s capital Madrid, a major priority in the battle for international streaming subscribers. The strategy appears to be paying off when comparing this latest data set with previous incarnations.

Berlin, which stars Pedro Alonso in the titlular role as a master thief, was the ninth-most-watched TV show with 48.5 million views. The show, a prequel to...

So far in 2024, Netflix movies have been off to a thrilling start with hit titles such as Damsel, Atlas, A Family Affair, and The Union. But the year isn't over yet! To finish out an excellent year of movies, Netflix announced its full slate of fall movies on Aug. 28, and we can look forward to even more hot titles of every genre, from horror to holiday, featuring some of the biggest stars.

More and more release dates for Netflix movies coming this year have been announced, and below we’ve...

Exclusive: Wattpad/Webtoons has hired Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken to adapt I’m the Grim Reaper from the webtoon created by Grave Weaver.

Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process.

I’m the Grim Reaper centers on Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared. The story slots perfectly into Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.

Campbell & Stuecken sold their procedural The Interpreter to NBC last season, with Michael Peterson showrunning and Morris Chestnut attached to star. This season, they...

The entire Through My Window trilogy, including the new installment Looking at You, has landed on Netflix's weekly Top 10 Non-English movies chart. The trilogy has accumulated 31.5 million hours viewed from 17.7 million viewers globally. While Looking at You seems like the end, Netflix may choose to continue or spin off the franchise if its success continues.

Through My Window 3: Looking at You has helped the entire trilogy land on the Netflix chart. The new movie is the third and final installment in the Spanish-language trilogy based on the romance novel series by Ariana Godoy, which originally became popular on Wattpad. After the original Through My Window, which starred Clara Galle and Julio Peña as star-crossed lovers Raquel and Ares, became a success in 2022, Netflix greenlit both sequels, releasing Through My Window 2: Across the Sea in 2023 and Looking at You in 2024.

Netflix has now calculated their global chart for...

Netflix's Spanish-language romance trilogy, Through My Window, has been uneven in terms of execution. Across the Sea has a shocking death, while Looking at You gets the couple back on track. Despite low ratings, the first film sets the foundation for Ares and Raquel's romance journey.

Netflix's movie series Through My Window has been a big success since it started in 2022, but the Spanish language film trilogy is uneven in its ranking of quality. Whether it's losing a character or a plotline that sets the story back, each film in the Through My Window trilogy has its reasons for its placement. Along with the first movie, Through My Window, there are also two sequels to add to the list. The second sequel is called Through My Window: Across the Sea, which came out in June 2023. The third movie, Through My Window 3: Looking At You was released on February...

Through Sunday, “Mean Girls” was the highest-grossing domestic film two months into 2024.

Its total is $15 million less than, though still quite close to, the longer-running “Anyone but You” (Sony), similarly with significant female appeal. But the results for the first week with both available show that Will Gluck’s Australian-set rom-com is doing much better at home than the musical remake of the hit 2004 high school clique satire.

Meanwhile, little is more normal than a new original Tyler Perry film placing immediately at #1 on Netflix. “Mea Culpa,” starring Kelly Rowland as an attorney who takes on a tough murder defense to enhance her chances at partnership at her firm, is the hyphenate’s first film since 2022 and third consecutive production for the streamer.

“Anyone but You” has a slight edge over “Mean Girls” in its pricing. The former can be digitally purchased for $19.99, while that price yields a 48-hour rental...

Can the scorching romance that started with a shared Wi-Fi network maintain its connection? That’s the question at the heart of Through My Window 3: Looking at You (A través de tu Mirada),the third (and apparently final) sequel to Through My Window (A Través de mi Ventana) and Through My Window: Across the Sea (A Través del Mar), the hit Spanish language YA films directed by Marçal Forés, based on a book trilogy by co-creator Ariana Godoy.

The tragic events and tumultuous finale of Through My Window: Across the Sea put an end to Raquel and Ares’ already fraying relationship too. At the close of the summer, the star-crossed couple (played by Clara Galle and Julio Peña) break up seemingly for good. But when Ares and Raquel find themselves back in Barcelona for the winter, things heat up again. Desire’s a powerful force, but is theirs strong...

Through My Window 3: Looking at You follows the journey of Raquel and Ares' relationship as they struggle with distance and their feelings. The movie marks the return of the beloved cast members from the previous installments, exploring the trials and tribulations of young love. Despite the distinct storylines in each film, the primary cast remains the same, keeping the focus on Raquel and Ares' emotional journey.

Through My Window 3: Looking at You marks the return of several beloved characters and cast members from the previous installments of the movie series. Based on a novel by Ariana Godoy, the Through My Window movies first premiered on Netflix on 4 February 2022. Although the first film in the series received limited attention and did not garner favorable reviews from most critics, it was profitable enough for the streamer to greenlight its sequel. With this, the follow-up film, Through My Window: Across the Sea,...

Valentine’s Day is done and dusted, but the season of romance and love is far from over. Spanish films are known for their over-the-top romance with a story that have a habit of titillating the audience. Through My Window is no different from the first two films in the series and other films in this genre.

Marçal Forés’ Netflix film, Through My Window: Looking at You is the third movie in the romance drama series and is a continuation of Across the Sea. The last film ends with Raquel and Ares’ inevitable breakup. The third film is about Raquel awaiting the release of her book while simultaneously working in a toy shop during the holiday season in Barcelona. Raquel is also invited to the launch party of the book, which will happen on the night of New Year’s Eve. Raquel is in a relationship with Gregory at this point,...

Through My Window 3: Looking at You is a movie directed by Marçal Forés starring Clara Galle and Julio Peña.

This is the third installment of the saga that promises to reach its conclusion with this coming-of-age story. The movie utilizes the strengths of the previous two films and serves as the final chapter in Raquel’s story, who is now focused on publishing a book. It targets a specific audience and is aware of its boundaries. The novels were written by Ariana Godoy, a Venezuelan author who gained popularity on the youth-dominated platform, Wattpad.

Plot

During the Christmas holidays, Raquel and Ares rekindle their relationship, while she awaits the release of a novel that narrates her life and works on the sequel, which is sure to be a literary success.

About the Film

It’s one of those sagas that adults may not understand, but teenagers and young adults...

Through My Window: Across the Sea ended with Raquel and Ares breaking up over the death of Yoshi. There was a volatile blame game, which led to a bitter ending to a rather passionate relationship. Raquel already suspects that Ares had been having an affair with Vera. Meanwhile, Raquel began showing interest in Gregory, who was her classmate in college. Through My Window: Looking At You, the third and the final film in Netflix film in the series, will seal Raquel and Ares’ fates forever. It will be interesting to see if they reconcile or remain broken up and move on to other partners.

Was Raquel Excited About The Book?

Through My Window: Looking At You began with the news of Raquel’s book being published. Raquel was barely scraping by working in a toy shop that remained crowded because of the end-of-year holiday season. The publishers informed...

Orson Welles famously started but never finished an adaptation in Spain of Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes’ beloved 17th-century novel. Terry Gilliam’s first attempt to shoot his take on Quixote fell apart so spectacularly in 2000 that it resulted in a widely viewed “unmaking-of” documentary titled, grimly, Lost in La Mancha.

But they weren’t just tilting at windmills. Gilliam completed The Man Who Killed Don Quixote nearly two decades later, making it one of literally dozens of screen adaptations from around the world based on the widely published novel. In April, Oscar-winning director Alejandro Amenábar (The Sea Inside)will start shooting on The Captive, an origin tale about a young, storytelling Cervantes in an Algiers prison in 1575.

Spanish literature — and its literary figures — have been inspiring filmmakers since the dawn of cinema. According to a now-defunct Cervantes Virtual Library database, considered incomplete by some accounts, in Spain almost 1,200 literary...

A big-budget live-action adaptation of a cult Nickelodeon animated fantasy series, the return of a sports docuseries that transformed the global appeal of Formula 1, a new animated feature written by the incomparable Charlie Kaufman, and another season of a reality dating show that inspires equal parts love and hate on social media are among the standout projects hitting Netflix in February.

Netflix’s big feature release this month is the animated film Orion and the Dark, which debuts Feb. 2. Written by Charlie Kaufman, the celebrated scribe behind Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Adaptation, the film is an adaptation of Emma Yarlett’s children’s book about an anxious kid who is scared of the dark. The Hollywood Reporter‘s review described Orion and the Dark as a film that “hilariously and movingly [taps] into typical childhood anxieties” and is “infused with ample wit of both the...

It’s a weird month on Netflix in February; one that will probably require you to be open-minded about the shows and movies you’re willing to consume on the service.

There are quite a few library TV series arriving this month, for example. If you’re ready to start binge-watching Monk, My Wife and Kids, or acclaimed show Warrior, you’re in luck, as those complete seasons will be available. The Blacklist season 10, Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12, Brooklyn Nine-Nine seasons 1-4, and Young Sheldon season 6 will also be hitting the ‘Flix.

In terms of what’s new, there’s a ton of foreign language content and true crime stuff, but original English language stuff will largely be unscripted fare like Love is Blind, which is back for a new season. There are a few bits and bobs on the way outside of that, though. Netflix’s animated movie Orion and the Dark will debut,...
