‘La canción’ already has a premiere date: May 8

‘La canción’ reflects a pivotal historical context of pure change, a longing for democratic freedom, and significant political and social turmoil. All of this is portrayed through the lens of a musical odyssey never before told in a fictional tone.

The series stars Patrick Criado, Alex Brendemühl, Carolina Yuste, and Marcel Borràs.

The cast is completed by Mariano Peña, who plays Lasso de la Vega; Goya winner Carlos Santos as Balmaseda, Esteban’s boss; Laia Manzanares as Esteban’s partner, a pharmacist working as a lab assistant at the university and a Eurovision fan; Carlos González as Rafael Ibarbia; Eneko Sagardoy as photographer Carlos; Xose A. Touriñán as Manuel Fraga, and Luis G. Gámez as Francisco Franco. Additionally, Chloe Berman portrays presenter Katie Boyle, and Garmon Rhys plays singer Cliff Richard.

The series was filmed in various locations in Madrid, including the Parque del Oeste, the Faculty of Medicine at UCM, and the old Chamartín Post Office building, where iconic spaces of the era, such as the old RTVE studios in Prado del Rey, were recreated. Key settings from Massiel’s most iconic Eurovision moments were meticulously replicated, including London’s legendary Royal Albert Hall, where Spain won Eurovision. The series also features international filming locations in London and Paris.
