PREMISE

The New Years, from César Award-winning director Rodrigo Sorogoyen (The Beasts), follows Ana (Iria Del Río – Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End) and Óscar (Francesco Carril – Three Goodbyes). Their journey starts from their first meeting, on the night they both turn thirty, through ten New Year’s Eves. She lives in a shared flat, dislikes her job, and changes friends frequently. He’s a doctor with his life sorted. That is, until they meet and fall in love. Over ten consecutive years, each episode captures a single night. It reveals how love evolves. The series is an honest examination of modern commitment and choosing someone, year after year.

Rodrigo Sorogoyen, Paula Fabra, and Sara Cano created The New Years, which premiered at the 81st Venice Film Festival. The show premiered later that year in Spain on Movistar Plus+ and received critical acclaim, with several local journalists hailing it as the best series of the year.

FABRIZIA PALAZZO

Fabrizia Palazzo, Distribution Manager at Movistar Plus+ International, says,

“We are very glad that The New Years will be the first Spanish TV series on a platform committed to independent cinema. Having the opportunity to reach viewers from so many different territories is a great opportunity for our original content.”

The New Years is produced by Domingo Corral, Fran Araújo of Movistar Plus+, as well as Eduardo Villanueva, Nacho Lavilla, and Rodrigo Sorogoyen of Caballo Films.
