Netflix Premieres Mexican Drama No Tengo Miedo

The series transposes Niccolò Ammaniti’s novel to 1986 Veracruz to examine how community desperation destroys childhood.

Overview

  • Netflix's No tengo miedo, which premiered Wednesday, July 8, 2026, is now available to stream on the platform.
  • The plot follows 10-year-old Miguel, who in a rural Veracruz town discovers a boy imprisoned in a hidden hole and learns that people close to him may be responsible.
  • The production was shot entirely in Veracruz over about 15 weeks and lists creators Alba Gil, Alejandro Zuno and Ernesto Contreras with writers Maria Camila Arias and Mónica Herrera.
  • Principal cast members named in promotion include Luis Alberti, Fátima Molina, Humberto Busto, Yoshira Escárrega and child actors Aldo Emiliano Navarro and Yago Andreu.
  • Coverage notes an inconsistency in episode counts—most outlets report eight episodes while at least one reports six—and early reviews quoted by press have been favorable.
