Set in Spanish Basque Country, the story takes place over 30 years during the separatist terrorism of ETA and is told through the eyes of two families divided by the violent conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Alea Media, <em>Patria<\/em> will start shooting in the north of Spain\u00a0in early 2019. The series is an HBO Europe original production, with the participation of HBO Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>Antony Root, executive VP of original programming and production at HBO Europe, said: \u201cA personal, human story that unfolds against the backdrop of political violence in the Basque country, and which explores themes of grief, community and forgiveness, <em>Patria<\/em> is at once acutely local and affectingly universal. That we have such an outstanding creative team to bring it to life is testament to our ambition for the series, and its appeal to both Spanish and international audiences. It is the perfect project to kick-off HBO Europe\u2019s drama slate in Spain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gabilondo said: \u201cI\u2019ve dedicated almost a year to adapt <em>Patria<\/em> for TV. Now, it\u2019s time to bring these characters to life and recreate the painful past reflected in this work of fiction. That the wounds of this recent history are still open in the Basque Country fuels my commitment and forces me to sharpen my sensibility. Luckily, HBO has enabled me to be surrounded by an exceptional technical and artistic crew who share the same commitment. To me, <em>Patria<\/em> is not only the challenge of adapting a powerful and moving novel that has reached readers all over the world. It\u2019s also a personal journey which, through these characters, takes me back to the toughest years of ETA that made such an impact on my youth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miguel Salvat, commissioning editor of original programming at HBO Espa\u00f1a, added: \u201c<em>Patria<\/em> is the perfect expression of HBO Europe\u2019s ambition regarding original production. We want to create something different, with great quality, that lives up to the legacy of our brand. I am convinced that with Fernando Aramburu\u2019s great book as the basis, and Aitor Gabilondo\u2019s huge contribution adapting the novel and leading this team, <em>Patria<\/em> will be a series like no other ever made in Spain.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HBO Europe has greenlit its first original Spanish series, Patria, an eight-episode adaptation of Fernando Aramburu\u2019s best-selling novel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[900],"class_list":["post-10246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-hbo-europe","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
