Overview
- 33 Días is Carles Porta’s first work of scripted fiction and premieres on Atresplayer on Sunday.
- The six-episode series centers on a 2001 prisoner flight in Lleida and follows both the Mossos d’Esquadra investigation and the two fugitives.
- José Manuel Poga and Julián Villagrán star as the pair renamed Prieto and Calatrava, and creators say actors were allowed to consult letters, a prison psychiatric profile and trial audio while preparing.
- The production changes real names and fictionalizes details to protect privacy and to give the writers room to explore the fugitives’ emotional codependency as a motive for their violence.
- Porta builds on his Crims reporting by revisiting the case’s institutional context—the early deployment of the Mossos and tensions with national police—and the series treats victims’ experiences and sensitive events with ethical caution.
