“HIT” is the third season of the successful series that won the Grand Award at the World Media Festival in Hamburg and the Media Impact Award at the Series Nostrum festival. In this third season, “HIT”, the non-conformist educator, changes his profile. Now, he is the one who needs help dealing with his addiction.

In this edition, RTVE presents the series “Javier Fernández. Breaking the Ice”, in this, the two-time world champion, seven-time European champion and bronze medallist at the 2018 Olympic Games, Javier Fernández, tells first-hand his journey through the world of figure skating.

In addition, in each episode they will face new challenges to make their motto a reality: “Educated dogs, welcome”.
 
“Urraca, the Red Hunter” is a documentary about Pedro Urraca, a Franco supporter agent key in the persecution of exiled Spanish Republicans and a contributor of the Gestapo. This character is portrayed from the critical point of view of his son and granddaughter, who disassociate themselves from his legacy. “10.000 Days” is travel to the future of 2050 with the people who are already designing and preparing the greatest technological leap in our history. Carlos Franganillo invites us to get to know this new world that is being built right before our eyes in the next 10 000 days.

In “The Theft of the Codex”, a priceless jewel disappears from the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. It is a 12th century manuscript, considered the first guide for pilgrims on the Pilgrim’s Way to Santiago de Compostela, the Codex Calixtinus. At that moment, a police investigation begins, characterised by media interest, the secrecy of the Church and all kinds of false accusations. “The Deck of Cards Killer” tells the story of what seemed like an isolated crime turned out to be a complicated investigation to hunt down a cruel serial killer. The production tells the story of the serial crimes that took place in Madrid, paying special attention to the police work and how, in parallel to the investigation, the media created a monster that kept the people of Madrid on tenterhooks.
 
“The Last Frontier” presented by Javier Santaolalla, a physicist and aspiring astronaut, takes us on a journey through four chapters to learn about the great enigmas of the universe and the requirements to fulfil the dream of becoming an astronaut for the European Space Agency (ESA) and cross the last frontier. We meet national and international experts who share their knowledge and experience on the great enigmas of the universe such as: Where is the end of space, how big is our galaxy? Are we alone in the universe? When will we land on Mars? Or what is exotic matter?
