Overview
- The production, which Netflix announced Monday, has begun filming in Madrid for a series adaptation of the 2000 Argentine film.
- Álvaro Morte and Patrick Criado lead as two con men, with the plot keeping the forged “nine queens” stamp scam and shifting the action to 2012 Madrid during Spain’s financial crisis.
- Xosé Morais and Víctor Sierra create and write the series, Álex Rodrigo and Jorge Saavedra direct, and LAZONA produces with Aura Garrido, José Coronado and Margarida Corceiro in the cast.
- Netflix has not set an episode count or premiere date, and industry outlets’ talk of a 2027 launch remains unconfirmed.
- The reveal drew criticism from Argentine users on social media who argue the relocation could lose the film’s distinctly local ‘viveza,’ a concern that has shadowed earlier foreign remakes.
