Netflix Picks Up Spanish Time-Travel Series

LOS GATOS: The Spanish series The Department of Time has been picked up by Netflix.

RTVE is in production on a third season of the sci-fi fantasy series, which has been called Spain’s answer to Doctor Who. Netflix has secured the streaming rights for The Department of Time outside of Spain, where the series will continue to air in a weekly prime-time slot on La 1.

Each episode travels back in time to a specific period in history. According to RTVE, the third season “will count with substantial improvements in production and postproduction, more location-shot scenes and special effects, infographics plus 3D that will make its quality superior to that of the previous two seasons.”
