SkyShowtime unveils first look for Spanish Original Death in Llanes (Muerte en Llanes)

Starring Javier Gutiérrez, María Vázquez and Isak Férriz, this limited drama series follows the murder investigation of Llanes councillor Javier Ardines

Today, SkyShowtime released the first-look images from its upcoming Spanish Original Death in Llanes (Muerte en Llanes). Created and written by Jesús Mesas Silva and directed by Gerardo Olivares, the six-part limited series is inspired by the Guardia Civil's investigation into the murder of Llanes councillor Javier Ardines.

Death in Llanes (Muerte en Llanes) stars two-time Goya Award winner Javier Gutiérrez (Rondallas), María Vázquez (Matria) and Isak Férriz (City of Shadows). Completing the cast are Urko Olazábal (Soy Nevenka), Irene Anula (Raising Voices), Jone Laspiur (Ane), Ana Wagener (The Last Night at Tremor Beach), Natalia Verbeke (Todos mienten), Jorge Bosch (Las abogadas), Carlos Lorenzo (Águila Roja), Miren Gaztañaga (Maspalomas), and Yune Nogueiras (Akelarre).

The series is produced by K 2000 in collaboration with 100 Balas for SkyShowtime. Alejandro Flórez and Manu Sánchez serve as executive producers.

On 16 August 2018, Javier Ardines is found dead one hundred meters from his home. The case quickly makes headlines, and the Guardia Civil launches an investigation marked by political rivalries, rigged examinations and personal conflicts. The case takes a significant turn when new evidence reveals an unexpected love triangle.

Death in Llanes (Muerte en Llanes) is the latest addition to SkyShowtime’s Spanish original slate, which also includes Shades (Matices), Nails, Road to Arcadia (Camino a Arcadia) and The Tribute (El Homenaje), as well as the docuseries A Recipe for Murder (Receta para un asesinato).
