’” final season, the Platino Awards adds a market, VIS and Diagonal team on a “Gypsy Bride” series adaptation, and CTV announces new comedy series “Children Ruin Everything.”“Cable Girls” Netflix’s first Spanish Original series, will premiere its fifth and final season on Feb. 14. At a press event on Thursday, the platform shared the trailer for the upcoming season while previewing the coming year.
When “Cable Girls,” premiered on April 28, 2017, it fit snugly into a industrial model – think “Velvet” – which had allowed producer Bambu Producciones to conquer Latin America with its original series rather than reversions or titles dubbed into a neutral Spanish: A female-led period drama exploring social and political themes still relevant today starring a cast of familiar Spanish actors.
The Final Season, however, obviously raises the ante. Set during the thick of the Spanish Civil War, it starts with the tragic death of Ángeles still looming over the group of friends. Meanwhile, Carlota and Oscar have fled Madrid after Carlota was framed for a political assassination, and Lidia – formerly Alba – is in America with her childhood sweetheart Francisco.
