Atresplayer, the innovative Spanish streaming platform, is making significant strides in original content development. Notably, the platform showcased its latest offerings, “33 Days” (“33 Días”) and Season 2 of the critically acclaimed series, “La Ruta: Vol. 2: Ibiza”, during prestigious events such as the San Sebastian Film Festival and the Iberseries & Platino Industria in Madrid.
“33 Days” marks a noteworthy venture as the first TV series created by the celebrated investigative journalist Carles Porta, recognized for his true-crime storytelling prowess. This gripping series is based on the dramatic escape of two prisoners from Lleida prison in 2001, which ignited a 33-day manhunt by the Catalonia police force, the Mossos d’Esquadra.
The narrative zeroes in on the Mossos’ investigative team as they try to track down the escapees, all while the criminals’ elaborate plan begins to deteriorate, requiring them to think on their feet. Initially under scrutiny, the newly formed Mossos navigated the tumultuous waters of public expectation and institutional pressure, adding layers of tension to the storyline.
Porta, during the series’ unveiling, disclosed, “We altered the names of the individuals involved to safeguard their privacy while granting us creative latitude.”
The series features an impressive cast, including José Manuel Poga and Julián Villagrán as the escapees, Prieto and Calatrava, while Nausicaa Bonnín and Pau Durà portray officers Clara Moyano and Pau García, respectively. Other notable cast members include Blanca Parés, Arnau Casanovas, Xavi Sáez, Alba Pujol, and Joan Solé.
Produced by Atresmedia, alongside Luminol Media, Goroka, and Lastor Media, “33 Days” unfolds over six captivating episodes.
On the other hand, the much-anticipated second season of “La Ruta”, which garnered the prestigious Ondas Award for Best Drama Series and triumphed with three Feroz Awards, is scheduled for release on October 26. “La Ruta. Vol. 2: Ibiza” stars Àlex Monner, returning to his role as Marc Ribó and also portraying Marc’s father, Manuel. The new season will also feature Carla Díaz, Marina Salas, and Irene Escolar in significant roles.
The six episodes of this new season will bridge two different timelines, serving both as a sequel and a prequel to the original story. Set in 1996, Marc Ribó is the DJ at Amnesia, one of Ibiza’s iconic clubs, as the island transforms into a global nightlife phenomenon. In contrast, the narrative also revisits the 1970s, a period when Ibiza was a sanctuary of free spirits overshadowed by the Franco regime—an era that Marc’s parents experienced right before their lives were tragically cut short in a plane crash in 1972, at the same age as Marc today.
The captivating narrative intertwines Marc’s contemporary experiences with the legacy of his parents, revealing echoes of the past amid a vibrant present. This season is rich in themes of legacy and the transfer of values from one generation to the next.
The cast for this season will also feature Lucía Martín-Abelló, Fernando Delgado-Hierro, and Fernanda Orazi, alongside familiar faces from the first season.
Directed by Borja Soler, “La Ruta. Vol. 2: Ibiza” was filmed in stunning locations across the Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands.
