"Shared custody" to premiere exclusively on DIsney+

Disney+ has released the trailer for the new original Spanish series "Shared Custody," the comedy-drama that marks "Champions" maker Javier Fesser's first directing role on TV, streaming on January 24 exclusively on Disney+ globally. The Disney+ original series, created in collaboration with Fremantle-backed producer "The Immigrant" ("No One Will Miss Us," "Adolfo"), is written and created by Juanjo Moscardó Rius, who created the Goya-nominated "A Shitty Therapy," and María Mínguez ("Vivir dos Veces").

Fesser is responsible for some of the highest-grossing and most renowned comedies in Spanish cinema, such as "Campeones," "Campeonex," "La gran aventura de Mortadelo y Filemón," and "El Milagro de P. Tinto." In addition to winning two Goya Awards for his films "Camino" and "Mortadelo y Filemón contra Jimmy el Cachondo," he was nominated for an Oscar for his short film "Binta y la Gran Idea," won three Forqué Awards, a Fotogramas de Plata Award, three Feroz Awards, two Gaudí Awards, and a Special Mention at the Locarno Film Festival, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Málaga Film Festival in 2020.

"Shared Custody" is an 8-episode dramatic comedy unraveling the fallout of the separation between two parents, Cris and Diego, and an examination of this increasingly common dynamic in the modern world. Their intention is to be mature, responsible, and friendly adults for the sake of their five-year-old daughter, but neither of them can afford to live alone and take care of her. Cris’ work is very absorbing, and Diego does not have a fixed salary, so both are forced to move back to their respective parents’ houses. The grandparents are excited that their children and granddaughter are back in their lives, but things deteriorate rapidly. What began as an amicable separation soon takes a turn when they run into harsh reality.

The leading couple is played by Lorena López ("Past Lies") and Ricard Farré ("Good Manners"). The cast is completed by Adriana Ozores ("Los pequeños amores," "Invisibles"), Francesc Orella ("Merlí," "Santa Evita"), Aten Soria ("Venus"), Fernando Sansegundo ("Historias lamentables"), Lucía de Gracia, and Clara de Ramón.

The creators are screenwriters Juanjo Moscardó Rius ("A Shitty Therapy," "Amor en polvo") and María Mínguez (“Vivir Dos Veces,” "Amor en polvo"). Javier Fesser, winner of the Goya for Best Director for "Camino," directs the series in the first work that he does not write directly.
