With two series during January, Atresmedia Internacional kicked off the premieres that the channel has programmed for the whole family during for the first half of the year. The channel aired “Carceleros”, a program that won the award for best international series at Mipcom in Cannes, and “Morir de Amor”, which received recognition with two nominations for the Cóndor de Plata and Martín Fierro awards,.
In February the channel will broadcast “Desconocidas”, a 13-episode drama that tells the story of a unique group of women whose paths collide after a suspicious accident. Sandra Cervera (‘El Secreto de Puente Viejo’) plays the main character, co-staring with Mara Guil. In March, Atreseries continues with “Los Protegidos: El Regreso” and “Los Protegidos ADN”. These represent the last two seasons of “Los Protegidos”, a series that aired in its entirety starting in early 2022 and will continue on the channel in March with these exclusive premieres. The new seasons maintain the suspense around the Castillo family, with Ana Fernández (‘Física o Química’) and Lucho Fernández (‘Mar de Plástico), who will return to play Sandra and Culebra, characters who have kept a teenage love affair going for ten years and counting.
The comedy “Dos Años y un Día” will arrive in April, starring Arturo Valls (‘Un Paso Adelante') who plays a comedic actor and successful host, who is sentenced to two years and a day in jail for making an unfortunate joke. The cast also features Adriana Torrebejano (‘Cuerpo de Élite) and Amaia Salamanca (‘Gran Hotel, ‘Velvet’). The season wraps up with “Familia en Venta”, a Colombian comedy that follows, with a modern and quick pace, the vicissitudes of a once-married couple that, despite having divorced, is forced to continue living together in the same house. Nominated for an International Emmy Award in the category Best Comedy, it features a cast full of great actors from Latin film and television such as Roselyn Sánchez, Angie Cepeda, Carlos Espejel, and Christian Meier.
