Ahead of the streamer’s Oct. 26 arrival in Spain, representatives from several shows commissioned for WarnerMedia’s HBO Max assembled at the San Sebastian Film Festival on Sunday to preview their shows, slated to arrive on the platform on or after its launch.
Four series were presented to an at-capacity press conference held in San Sebastian’s Kuursal conference center, the main hub for the Spanish festival.
First up was “Todo lo otro,” a release day launch for HBO Max staring multi-hyphenate Abril Zamora who writes, directs and stars in the story of a group of 30-somethings living in Madrid who have reached adulthood and found themselves living lives different from what they’d once dreamed. Playing the series’ lead protagonist, Zamora stars as Daphne, pushing middle age, recently single and with a crap job. Complicating things even more, she finds herself falling for her best friend, who himself is...

The Spanish actors are reuniting in this countryside-set comedy directed by Jesús del Cerro, which is currently in post-production. Shot over the final two months of 2020, not only does Dos vacas y una burra (lit. “Two Cows and a She-donkey”) mark a return to Spain for Jesús del Cerro (Carlitos and the Chance of a Lifetime), but it also sees two popular actors, Pablo Puyol (Boystown) and Miguel Ángel Muñoz (El crack Cero), working together again, as they did more than a decade ago in the TV series Un paso adelante, which catapulted them to stardom, garnering them untold hordes of fans of both sexes. These strapping young lads are joined by Mexican thesp Esmeralda Pimentel, Catalan actors Mario Pardo and Adriana Torrebejano (Gun City), and Romania’s Codin Maticiuc (Do It or Shut Up) on the billing of this feature. With a budget of €2 million, the rural comedy...
Holy Spanish lesbian hotness, Batman. Remember earlier this month when we told you in Morning Brew about the budding lesbian tensions on the Spanish soap opera Tierra de lobos? Well, last week the show moved past "budding" and into "full-blown."
The soap, now in its second season in Spain, follows the powerful Lobo family who run a small Spanish town. Isabel (Adriana Torrebejano) is the family’s rebellious tomboy daughter. In an earlier episode she catches an eyeful (like, fully naked) of local prostitute Cristina (Berta Hernández). And, well, lesbian yearnings ensue.
In last week’s episode, Isabel and Cristina finally act on those yearnings. That is to say, Cristina finally wears down Isabel’s resistance. And this happens. (English subtitles begin after about a minute. Also, there is some brief nudity which is totally, totally worth risking it at work.)
Would it be missing the point for me to...
