SkyShowtime has today revealed the cast and characters that will feature across original series Shades (Matices), premiering exclusively on 5 June.

Shades (Matices) tells the story of a renowned and charismatic psychiatrist who gathers six of his patients together at a remote winery to complete their treatment with his famous method, which has achieved a very high cure rate among the most complex and difficult-to-manage patients. After an unusual ceremonial tasting, an unexpected turn of events occurs with a fateful ending. Following the arrival of an intuitive police lieutenant who takes over the case, the truth is uncovered about the patients’ traumas.

Lead cast and characters include:

Cecilio Rodríguez (MAXI IGLESIAS): Cecilio starts his psychiatric treatment with Dr. Marlow after an ultimatum from his husband. His irascible and volatile personality hides a dark childhood trauma.

Ana Morantes (JUANA ACOSTA): Ana is a victim of domestic violence and suffers from a deep depression that leads her to blame herself for everything that has happened in her life. With this revolutionary psychiatric treatment she dreams of becoming herself again.

Norman Graf (HOVIK KEUCHKERIAN): Norman has a privileged mind, although clouded with insomnia, fatigue and childhood traumas. He relies on his sister Lily for everything and begins Dr. Marlow's treatment hoping to improve his independence.

Fariba Sayid (FARIBA SHEIKHAN): Dr. Sayid is an eminent surgeon who seeks to end the hand tremors that prevent her from operating again. She is skeptical about the incredible results of Dr. Marlow's method but is willing to do anything to return to her job.

Mr. and Mrs. Polan (ENRIQUE ARCE Y MIRIAM GIOVANELLI): The Polans are a strong married couple, jealous of their privacy and somewhat unfriendly with others. Both seek help to overcome the death of their daughter, although the truth is that their story hides much darker secrets.

Lieutenant Héctor Castro (RAÚL PRIETO): Lieutenant Castro is extremely intelligent and has a great instinct, two very useful qualities to solve cases very quickly. He will soon discover the difficulty and peculiarities of this case and of each of Dr. Marlow's patients.

Eviana Marlow (ELSA PATAKY): Eviana is Dr. Marlow's daughter, a brilliant psychiatrist trained in the best institutions. She is mysterious and very perceptive. She works alongside her father and feels that she must always strive to prove her own achievements.

Dr. Marlow (EUSEBIO PONCELA): Dr. Marlow is charismatic, intelligent and mysterious. He enjoys great prestige for leading an original and eccentric therapy that achieves a very high rate of recovery among his patients, even those suffering from traumas that are almost impossible to heal.  

The eight-part series is produced by Secuoya Studios and Stellarmedia in association with SkyShowtime. An original idea by Javier Naya, Alex Meriweather and Sergio Cánovas, directed and executive produced by him along with María García-Castrillón. 

Shades (Matices) is one of SkyShowtime’s growing slate of Spanish originals, which includes true crime documentary series A Recipe for Murder, comedy drama Mamen Mayo and upcoming series Nails.
