One of its main titles is Celeste. The series follows a successful Latin music star, with songs that make waves around the world and her concerts fill stadiums. Celeste has her own perfume, her own brand of lingerie and a tousled mane to promote her shampoo. But this series is not about her. The real protagonist of Celeste is Sara Santano, a tax inspector who has dedicated her whole life to collecting taxes. It is the only thing she has done since she passed the competitive examination at the age of twenty until today. After more than thirty years working for the Tax Agency, the time has come for her early retirement. Or at least, that’s what she thought. Because on her last day, she receives the most important assignment of her career: to prove that Celeste, the great Latin star, resides in Spain and must pay her taxes here. On this mission depends 20 million euros for the Spanish coffers. To complete it, Sara will have to put her own life on hold and follow in Celeste’s footsteps to prove that she has spent 184 days here. Half a year, plus one.

The Mediapro Studios also presents The famous five. The series follows five daring young explorers as they face treacherous action-packed adventures, extraordinary mysteries, unparalleled dangers and astonishing secrets in an unforgettable odyssey that evokes the power of camaraderie among intrepid young heroes.

Another of its main titles is The Head. After the failure of Arthur’s experiment, his daughter Rachel, financed by head investor Laurent, sets up a base in Bir Tawil, a lawless and completely isolated territory in Africa, to research how to eliminate the toxin that makes algae poisonous and finally solve climate change. After genetically modifying it and testing it on animals, the time has come to test it on people. They will pay 5 guinea pigs to drink several doses of the water with the algae in it 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 the team doctor. All seems to be going well until a new murder and a new missing head once again unleash the nightmare.

They also present Quiet, a series set in March 2020. The streets of Barcelona are empty, there are only policemen, deliverymen and ambulances outside. A homeless man is murdered in these deserted streets while sleeping, and this means the first of a series of crimes that all follow the same pattern: always homeless, always while sleeping, always with extreme brutality.

Finally, Witness 36. This series follows a writer who specializes in creating fictitious identities for an international witness protection program, who becomes involved in an affair with a mysterious man whose past resembles that of one of her creations.

EL CONQUISTADOR

The most extreme survival reality competition in the world just keeps smashing records! The stunning and riveting first season finished airing last December on TVE, the Spanish public broadcaster, where it emerged as the absolute leader across the 13-44 demo. The show continues to make history on its home channel, ETB, as it returns for a groundbreaking 20th season, an unprecedented achievement for a Spanish original adventure reality format.
Three teams of superman, superwomen, and regular people you would never picture in this kind of format battle it out to capture the show’s flag. Jumping into the void from a height of 20m, walking through fire with their hands and feet tied up or crossing a 150 – meter zipline unassisted are just some of the physical feats the contestants face. In the end, only one of them will become the Conqueror of the End of the World.

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.

The Paradise

The Finnish crime detective Hilkka Mäntymäki and her Spanish colleagues: Andrés Villanueva and Luisa Salinas, need to re-unite and start a new criminal investigation, after a dead body of a Finn is found from a golf course, near the town of Marbella. And as they shall see: the carefully hidden corpse is not the last one to come.

 

The Crime of Father Amaro

Based on the novel of the same name by Eça de Queirós (published in 1875, in the midst of great controversy and protests of the Catholic Church), “O Crime do Padre Amaro“ is a series of 6 episodes of 45 minutes.
The plot unfolds in the Portuguese city of Leiria, at the end of the 1860s and follows the story of forbidden love between Amaro, a young priest, and Amélia “the most beautiful girl in Leiria”.
Tense, emotional and anchored in personality conflicts, the series “The Crime of Father Amaro” is an ever-current vision of human relations and of a hypocritical and puritan society of the 19th century.
