Overview

  • Netflix released Carísima on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, making the series available worldwide on its platform the same day.
  • The show is a microseries of ten roughly 10-minute episodes presented in a horizontal format designed for fast, digital viewing habits.
  • Julián Kartun stars as Caro Pardíaco and helped write the series, which was directed by Nano Garay Santaló and Federico Suárez and produced by Labhouse with OLGA.
