The year 2025 is going to be epic for series lovers who are subscribed to Movistar Plus+, since the platform is going to premiere a series that will give a lot to talk about. With it, the Telefónica operator’s service gives shape to a production that has the ambition of becoming the next big success in the streaming sector, both in Spain and internationally.
The contents of Movistar Plus+, as well as its own productions, increasingly have a more and more interesting aspect. The platform, which already perfectly understands that it has an important role in the streaming and subscription television market, wants to have a winning card next year. And, to do this, they announce a collaboration with one of the best-known production companies in the Spanish market: Filmax.
A cast that surely sounds familiar to you
The series in question that they have announced is titled Los sin nombre and, about it, there is a lot to say. However, it is fair to recognize that, taking a look at the cast of the production, a clear influence can be seen from what has been seen on Netflix in recent years. We meet, for example, Miren Ibarguren, an actress whose relationship with Netflix began years ago. For the rival platform, the actress has participated in works such as Fe de etarras and has also filmed The Atomic Shelter for it, although it has not yet been released. At Movistar Plus+ he has also filmed series in recent years and this could be the perfect opportunity to succeed on a larger scale.
Milena Smit also appears, who I’m sure you’ve seen recently in The Hole 2 and who was also in The Snow Girl. In addition, another of the main characters will be played by Rodrigo de la Serna, who participated in the legendary Money Heist, one of the great Netflix classics.
For his part, the director of the new series will be Pau Freixas, who directed the Netflix series Christmas Days and who is famous throughout the world for his other works. With all these names, which are very recognizable faces of streaming services, as well as other actors who will also appear in Los sin nombre, Movistar Plus+ will be treading on ground that Netflix knows perfectly well. In reality, no one would have been surprised if the series had been for this platform and not for Movistar Plus+. However, the operator’s service has ensured a great value debut. It is a crucial step, since, with the involvement of Filmax, this technical team and the ambition of the script, they could be looking to achieve great success worldwide. And a good demonstration of this is that it has been confirmed that Los sin nombre will have international distribution.
What can we expect?
You will like to know that The Nameless Ones is based on the novel written by Ramsey Campbell. It is presented as a thriller with light supernatural touches that has the scripts and approach of Pol Cortecans. The truth is that the work of the scriptwriter was what, from the first moment, made the producers see that this series could become a great success.
As they mention, it has everything they were looking for. And, although it is not surprising, these are all the values that Netflix tries to insist on when it releases those international series that it tries to make, overnight, a great success throughout the world. Those factors include great artistic ambition, a compelling point of view, and a desire for the series to reach a mass audience. It is, therefore, a commercial approach more typical of Netflix than of Movistar Plus+, at least until now. This would mark an important turning point and possibly make the platform begin to establish itself internationally in a notable way.
The series has begun filming in Catalonia, with locations in Barcelona, Tarragona and Girona as the main settings. We can tell you some details about its history, but it is probably better to know the minimum, at least if you have not read the book. We meet Claudia, a woman who, years after seeing her daughter disappear, discovers that she may still be alive. A message from the girl will make Claudia’s life change unexpectedly. To try to find her, Claudia will reconnect with the inspector who carried out the investigation into the disappearance.
