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.
