Also The Head, now in its third season, continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

Directed by Jorge Dorado, the series tackles environmental themes while adding new layers of mystery and danger, with a fresh murder sparking another round of intrigue.

Lastly, Las Bravas, that tells the inspiring story of a second-division women’s soccer team in Mexico. Led by a former soccer star turned reluctant coach, the series explores themes of redemption, passion, and the bond between a father and his estranged daughter, set against the backdrop of the vibrant Mexican soccer scene.

Products Highlights

Quiet

March, 2020. The streets of Barcelona are empty. You can only find police, deliverymen, and ambulances outside. And a homeless man is murdered on these deserted streets in his sleep. The first in a series of crimes that all follow the same pattern: always homeless, always while sleeping, always with extreme brutality.

Celeste

Celeste, a worldwide music sensation, is not the main focus of this story, despite her fame, perfume line, and brand deals. The spotlight is on Sara Santano, a treasury inspector who has spent over 30 years collecting taxes. As she prepares for early retirement, Sara is given one last mission: to prove that Celeste has spent 184 days in Spain, making her liable for €20 million in taxes. To complete this high-stakes task, Sara must put her personal life on hold and track Celeste’s every move, uncovering where the star has truly been living.

The Head T3

After the failure of Arthur’s experiment, his daughter Rachel, funded by the head investor Laurent, sets up a base in Bir Tawil, a lawless and completely isolated territory in Africa, to investigate how to eliminate the toxin that makes the algae poisonous and finally solve climate change. After genetically modifying it and testing it on animals, the time comes to try it on people. They will pay 5 guinea pigs to drink several doses of the water with the algae to prove that it is safe for humans, but what Rachel doesn’t know is that Maggie has made a deal with Laurent to join the trial as a doctor on the team. Everything seems to be going well until a new murder and a new missing head unleash the nightmare all over again.

The Famous Five

The series follows five daring young explorers as they encounter treacherous, action-packed adventures, remarkable mysteries, unparalleled danger, and astounding secrets in an unforgettable odyssey that evokes the power of camaraderie between the fearless young heroes.

Las Bravas

Las Bravas from Playa Ángel are a small second division women’s soccer team with more passion than talent. The girls enjoy soccer in between their studies, the beach and the field when Roberto Casas, who was the best player in the world, crosses their lives. A bitter and narcissistic drinker who returns to the town where he was born, haunted by debts and scandals. Fate makes Roberto the new coach of the team (removing Sebas from the position, his childhood friend) where he discovers that one of the players is his daughter. Together with Las Bravas, Sebas and the rest of the town, Roberto will have to redirect his life, recover his love for football and become the father of a girl he doesn’t know while he helps them become the best players in Mexico.
