Netflix has begun production on My Sad Dead<\/em> (Mis muertos tristes<\/em>), a new miniseries directed by Pablo Larra\u00edn (Jackie<\/em>, Spencer<\/em>, Maria<\/em>).<\/p>\n The series will feature four horror episodes based on My Sad Dead<\/em> from Argentinean author Mariana Enr\u00edquez, borrowing from passages and characters from her other works Julie<\/em>, A Sunny Place for Shady People<\/em> and Back When We Talked to the Dead<\/em>\u00a0as well.<\/p>\n The series will center on Ema, a 60-year-old doctor who can see and hear the dead. She calls them \u201cpresences\u201d and has lived her entire life avoiding letting this gift connect her with the suffering of others. When her niece Julie, a disturbed young woman who can also communicate with the dead but in a much more sexual manner, arrives at her house, Ema is forced to get involved. What begins as a family reunion turns into a disturbing chain of events that alters the balance between the world of the living and the dead.<\/p>\n The cast will feature Mercedes Mor\u00e1n, Dolores Fonzi, Alejandra Flechner, Carlos Portaluppi, Germ\u00e1n de Silva, Luz Jim\u00e9nez and Carolina S\u00e1nchez \u00c1lvarez.<\/p>\n Filming is set to begin at the end of June in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Santiago, Chile.<\/p>\n \u201cMariana\u2019s writing is particularly visual, always brilliant and always dangerous,\u201d Larra\u00edn said. \u201cIt\u2019s a casual, domestic horror that inspires and will inspire many film and television adaptations. I\u2019m grateful to Netflix for the opportunity to work with this team of people I admire and who will undoubtedly do everything possible to make the best miniseries possible.\u201d<\/p>\n Enr\u00edquez commented, \u201cI am very happy that Pablo Larra\u00edn and Fabula are giving me the honor of adapting my stories into a single miniseries. I personally enjoy adaptations; I think they are readings, and I also have high expectations for this reading of My Sad Dead<\/em>. The entire process was very calm and respectful, and the fact that it\u2019s being released on a platform with the reach that Netflix has is breathtaking, along with the satisfaction of producing locally in Latin America.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOur growing commitment to the best Argentinean stories takes on added meaning with the addition of one of Latin America\u2019s most important directors behind this new project,\u201d said Francisco Ramos, VP of Latin American content at Netflix. \u201cWorking with Pablo Larra\u00edn to bring Mariana Enr\u00edquez\u2019s stories to the screen seemed like a natural fit.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Netflix has begun production on My Sad Dead (Mis muertos tristes), a new miniseries directed by Pablo Larra\u00edn (Jackie, Spencer, Maria).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":22538,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[2906,10753,10754,10755,10756,88,10757],"class_list":["post-22749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-fabula","tag-francisco-ramos","tag-mariana-enriquez","tag-mis-muertos-tristes","tag-my-sad-dead","tag-netflix","tag-pablo-larrain","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
