Netflix’s latest Spanish original series ‘Feria’ has begun filming. The series comes from creators Agustín Martínez (‘La Caza. Monteperdido’, ‘Sin tetas no hay paraíso’) and Carlos Montero (‘ÉLITE’, ‘El desorden que dejas’).
‘Feria’ is set in a “small white village in the Andalusian mountains in the mid 1990s, where its residents are not as innocent as they seem.” Directed by Jorge Dorado and Carles Torrens, this new thriller series from Netflix has been produced by Flimax.
Netflix’s official logline for ‘Feria’ reads, “What if two teenage sisters discover that their parents are monsters? Eva (Ana Tomeno) and Sofia (Carla Campra) will have to face the horrible crime that their parents seem to have committed, who, before disappearing, has left behind 23 victims. How are these sisters going to survive in a town that hates them? Is it possible that they knew their parents so poorly or is there a reason why they were involved in this event? This is the path that Eva and Sofia will take in Feria, a town where reality hides a fantastic universe.”
Forqué Award winner for Best Actress Marta Nieto (‘Madre’, ‘Secretos de Estado’), and the young actresses Ana Tomeno (‘La isla mínima’) and Carla Campra (‘Señoras del (h)AMPA’, ‘Todos lo saben’), will be seen in the lead role in ‘Feria’ who will be joined by Ángela Cremonte (‘Las chicas del cable’, ‘Mentiras’), Patricia López (‘Mientras dure la guerra’, ‘La otra mirada’), Isak Férriz (‘Gigantes’, ‘Las Distancias’) and Ernest Villegas (‘Nit i dia’, ‘Infidels’).
‘Feria’s’ creators Agustín Martínez and Carlos Montero while describing the Netflix original said, “You are 17 years old, you live in Andalusia in the 90s and one day your sister and you discover that your parents have been accused of killing more than twenty people. They have disappeared and left us alone facing an entire town who are asking for justice and revenge. Thus begins this story in which there is also a sect, grunge music, some fantastic creatures, the Andalusia’s sun and a mine that looks like a labyrinth. All of these and much more are Feria.”
About their collaboration with Netflix they further added, “An ambitious concept that needed a platform like Netflix that would dare to produce it. And they got on board right away”.
While the shooting for ‘Feria’ has begun, Netflix hasn’t revealed any release date for the Spanish original series as of now.
