“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.

When one thinks of heist comedy, everyone only has the Ocean’s series by Steven Soderbergh to turn to. This was followed by Money Heist, which was not a comedy as such but a full-fledged drama that received cult status in no time upon its release. Following in its footsteps, Bandidos, the brand-new Mexican Netflix Original, is all about a bunch of misfits who are thieves by profession and want to carry out a heist that could turn out to be one of the best experiences of their lives. Created by Pablo Tébar and directed by Adrian Gunberg, the show was released on March 13, 2024.
Bandidos consists of seven episodes that have a runtime of thirty-five to fifty minutes and features several characters, namely Miguel, Wilson, Lili, Lucas, and Citlali. They all are a bunch of robbers, forgers, and hackers who have come together after Miguel came across a map that...

Exclusive: Netflix has put Bandidos, a thriller series about an underwater heist, into production.
The drama follows the story of Miguel (Alfonso Dosal) and accomplice Lilí (Ester Expósito), 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.

He’s become one of Spain’s most successful auteur directors of big audience hits. Now director-writer-producer Alex de la Iglesia and producing partner, the actor-producer Carolina Bang (“The Last Circus”), have turned to wayward soccer players for their latest TV outing, HBO Max show “Headless Chickens.”
The starting point for this upcoming Spanish series is curiosity, Bang explained at an afternoon Q&a session at the Berlinale Series Market on Tuesday scheduled in the Next from Spain strand.
“Alex and I don’t like soccer very much but we have a lot of curiosity about the industry,” said Bang. “You have a lot of young people that became very rich very quickly. It destroys your head.”
Indeed, a teaser for “Headless Chickens” featured a beautiful footballer parading in a big, white fluffy coat through a nightclub with women falling at his feat. The swagger was amusing.

The battle for success on the new drama series scene is the battle for talent, led by screenwriters. Following, portraits of Spanish TV scribes or creators, sometimes writing teams, who’ve made an impact, or look set to do so:
Fran Araujo
2022 was Araujo’s year. He co-wrote Berlin Competition’s “One Night, One Day” and “Rapa,” Movistar+’s biggest 2022 bow. “Offworld,” a collective series he coordinated, was a Variety’s International TV Show of the Year. An iconoclast – “if I do the same thing, I get bored,” he says – who tears up the rule book.
Aina Clotet
Best known for acting, winning at Malaga for “The Wild Ones,” but a driving force as co-creator, director and star behind “This Is Not Sweden” a €1.5 million grant recipient and groundbreaking Spain-Scandinavia-Germany co-pro, turning on a couple who think they’ve found a model lifestyle. But “there are no guarantees,” says Clotet.

This year’s Berlinale Series Market kicks off Monday as Spanish series “The Snow Girl,” a missing girl suspense thriller produced by Spain’s Atípica Films, has attracted huge heat for Netflix, punching 101.7 million hours watched in its first three weeks. Doing so, it ranked as the streamer’s No. 1 non-English show in the world over Jan. 30 – Feb. 5.
In all, Spain has more shows and movies in Netflix’s all time non-English Top 10s than any other country in the world, seven to France’s two, for example.
Spain, it could be argued, has cracked online. But its drama series industry wants to ring more options.
As scripted commissions look to have dropped from second half 2022 in not only the U.S. but also Europe and Latin America, an energetic posse of Spanish producers and stars are rolling into Berlin to present new productions. These look set to explore an...
