Netflix Sets Dec. 18 Global Premiere for Más Allá de la Sociedad Documentary

The three-episode film follows survivors back to the Andes and records, for the first time on camera, reunions with families of those who died to explore life after the 1972 crash.

Overview

  • Netflix has released a first preview and confirmed the series will stream worldwide on December 18, 2026.
  • The three-episode documentary was created by J. A. Bayona and Carlos Torres, directed by Carlos Torres, and produced by Bayona, Sandra Hermida and Belén Atienza.
  • Producers say the series brings together, for the first time on camera, testimony from survivors of Flight 571 and relatives of those who did not return.
  • Filming returns to the crash site in the Andes and moves much of the cast there to stage encounters between the survivors’ real experiences and the earlier 2024 film adaptation; writers Piers Paul Read and Pablo Vierci and filmmakers including Frank Marshall also appear.
  • The project will debut in the official selection at the San Sebastián Film Festival before its Netflix release and revisits a 1972 Andes disaster in which 16 of 40 people survived after 72 days in the snow.
