New Spanish Original for Netflix

Netflix has set a new original Spanish series, High Seas, to premiere globally in 2019.

High Seas is an eight-episode mystery drama series set in the 1940s. The story takes place on a transatlantic ship full of passengers traveling from Europe to South America in search of a better future. There’s a mystery to be solved: the murder of a passenger whose name does not appear in the passenger list and who no one remembers.

The series was created by Ramón Campos and Gema R. Neira. Bambú Producciones is producing.

“We are proud to continue our relationship with Bambú and to create another great series that will appeal to audiences around the world,” said Erik Barmack, VP of international originals at Netflix. “A murder mystery on the high seas will be a great adventure for our audience, and we know that this team has the ability to execute it at the highest level.”

Ramón Campos, executive producer, said, “We are very happy to collaborate again with Netflix in what is already our third project together. High Seas allows us to return to the genre of mystery in a wonderful environment. We have the best team headed by the director Carlos Sedes and Jacobo Martínez as cinematographer, both of them responsible for some of our greatest successes: Gran Hotel, Velvet or Las chicas del cable.”
