Maribel Verdú and Dani Rovira, protagonists of Enrique Urbizu's new project for Max

Maribel Verdú, after parading in a high school uniform for Elite, repeats on television. HBO Max has just announced that he will be part of the cast of When Nobody Sees Us where he will coincide with Dani Rovira, the comedian and actor of the comedy franchise Eight Surnames and 100 Meters.

The series will currently have eight 50-minute episodes. It has been created by Daniel Corpas, who started on television with Yo soy Bea, who has worked on El Ministerio del Tiempo or Malaka, and whose latest work broadcast is the soap opera Mía es la vendetta, which has Arturo Ruiz leading the team. screenwriters, with whom he coincided in Drought.

The plot takes place during Holy Week 2024 in Morón de la Frontera, a town in the interior of Andalusia, southern Spain, located next to the US army air base. Lucía Gutiérrez (Maribel Verdú) is a sergeant of the Civil Guard who investigates the unusual suicide of a neighbor and some strange events that occurred in the first Holy Week procession.

Magaly Castillo (Mariela Garriga) is a special agent of the United States Army sent to the Morón de la Frontera base to find out the whereabouts of a missing American soldier who seems to be related to the hidden business of Colonel Seamus Hoopen (Ben Temple), head of the air base.

The lone military police officer, Sergeant Andrew Taylor (Austin Amelio), accompanies Magaly in her investigations. They quickly discover that both investigations are connected, that the case is more complex than they had initially assumed, and that it involves both residents of Morón and American soldiers from the nearby base.

The direction is by Enrique Urbizu, who in 2012 won the Goya for best script and best direction for There will be no peace for the wicked and who in 2021 signed Libertad, an unusual project for having been conceived in two editing and duration formats. different as a movie and television series.

Filming for When Nobody Sees Us began this week in Madrid and is expected to take place in Morón de la Frontera (Seville) and other locations in Andalusia and the Community of Madrid in the coming months.

From Warner Bros Discovery they defend that working with Urbizu and such a cast is “a privilege” and that the production has “all the elements that we look for in a series: excellent scripts, charismatic characters, impeccable craftsmanship and, especially, a story that “It will deceive viewers until the end.”

The series, however, is not exactly an HBO Max production but has been announced as a Max Original, since Warner Bros Discovery is in the process of rebranding. In the United States, its streaming service already operates under the name Max and this spring HBO Max will suffer the same fate.
