Spanish Drama Dominates: Onza & RTVE Ignite Global Interest with Electrifying New Series

Spanish content creators are once again proving their prowess on the global stage, as leading production company Onza and public broadcaster RTVE announce a thrilling collaboration set to ignite excitement at MIPCOM. The two powerhouses are joining forces to co-develop and co-produce two highly anticipated drama series: 'Gluten Free' and 'Neuer Vulnerables,' signaling a bold push for innovative and internationally resonant storytelling.

This strategic alliance leverages Onza’s acclaimed track record for crafting compelling narratives—from the historical fantasy of 'The Department of Time' to the epic scope of 'Hernán'—and RTVE’s unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, impactful fiction.

Both series are primed to captivate diverse audiences, blending unique premises with universal themes.

First in the spotlight is 'Gluten Free,' a captivating romantic thriller exploring identity and reinvention. The story centers on a seemingly perfect woman whose life unravels after a catastrophic accident leaves her with amnesia.

As she struggles to piece together her past, she discovers disturbing truths about her former self, forcing her to confront a hidden history that includes a secret family and a dangerous conspiracy. This series promises a thrilling blend of suspense, emotional depth, and unexpected twists that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Following close behind is 'Neuer Vulnerables,' a powerful family drama that delves into the complexities of mental health and societal pressures.

Set in a contemporary urban landscape, the series follows an affluent family whose carefully constructed facade begins to crumble when their teenage daughter, a seemingly perfect student, attempts to take her own life. As they navigate the aftermath, the family unearths deep-seated issues and vulnerabilities within their own lives and the community around them.

'Neuer Vulnerables' is poised to be a thought-provoking exploration of modern anxieties, offering a poignant and timely narrative.

The decision to unveil these ambitious projects at MIPCOM underscores Onza and RTVE's commitment to securing international distribution and co-financing partners. José María Irisarri, CEO of Onza, emphasized the importance of telling universal stories with strong local flavor, stating that both 'Gluten Free' and 'Neuer Vulnerables' have immense potential to resonate globally.

Likewise, José Pastor, RTVE’s Director of Cinema and Fiction, highlighted the public broadcaster's dedication to quality Spanish fiction and its ambition to reach audiences worldwide through strategic co-productions.

With two distinct yet equally compelling dramas, Onza and RTVE are set to make a significant impact at the upcoming MIPCOM market.

These series not only showcase the creative vitality of Spanish television but also represent a commitment to producing high-caliber content that entertains, challenges, and connects with viewers across borders. Anticipation is high for these promising new additions to the global drama landscape.
