Following on “Alba,” one of Spain’s biggest recent Netflix hits, star Elena Rivera, Spanish network Atresmedia and Madrid-based production powerhouse Boomerang TV will reteam on “Perdiendo el juicio,” a 10-episode drama which will go into production this summer.
Set to air on Antena 3, Atresmedia’s most-watched free-to-air channel, and its streaming service Atresplayer, “Perdiendo el Juicio” production is led by executive producer Luis Santamaría and Montse García, Atresmedia director of Fiction, both of whom were behind “Alba.”
“Alba” scribes Susana López Rubio and Javier Holgado also repeat on “Perdiendo el juicio,” where they are joined by Jaime Olías (“Cómo mandarlo todo a la mierda”).

Adapting Turkish series “Fatmagül’ün Suçu Ne?” breaking it down to a 13-part skein, rape case courtroom drama “Alba” – which drew comparisons to “Unbelievable” – proved the most-watched primetime series of 2022 in Spain and the highest-rating Spanish series on Antena 3 since 2019.
Bowing on Netflix on July 2022, “Alba” saw a six-week run in its non-English global Top 10, chalking up 151.71 million viewing hours, while hitting local Top 10s in over 70 countries around the world, including the U.S. and U.K.
