Overview
- The Unión de Actores y Actrices confirmed López’s death on Tuesday, July 14, and arts society AISGE and colleagues posted public condolences.
- López was 69 and best known recently for her role as Nieves Torralba in the comedy Muertos S.L., a part that brought her a new generation of viewers.
- Netflix scheduled the fourth and final season to premiere on August 7 and reporting says production was completed before her death, so the release date is expected to stay unchanged.
- In the weeks before her death López remained publicly active, marking her 69th birthday on May 31 and joining cast members in June for an Instituto Cervantes event in Los Angeles to promote the show.
- Beyond Muertos S.L. López had a long career in Spanish TV and theatre with credits including Machos Alfa, Águila Roja, Caronte, El cuaderno de Pitágoras and the musical Billy Elliot, and her passing is likely to shape how audiences and colleagues receive the series’ final episodes.
