'Dos tumbas', the Netflix series filmed in Málaga, is already number 1 in Spain

'The Snow Girl' now has company on the list of the most-watched Malaga series on Netflix. The latest national release from the American platform, the thriller 'Two Graves', premiered last Friday with a powerful story about the disappearance of two teenagers in the town of Frigiliana and, in just 24 hours, has climbed to number 1 of the most-watched fictions in Spain on the streaming operator.

This story, marked by novelist Carmen Mola and directed by Kike Maíllo ('Toro'), has been a resounding success that has ousted the second season of the series 'Wednesday', which was at the top of the most played titles on Netflix until last week. 'Two Graves' has captivated with its intriguing story about the disappearance of two girls, an unresolved case that leads one of their grandmothers on an obsessive investigation after a truth that turns into revenge.

The three-episode miniseries format invites viewers to binge-watch this tale in one sitting, which, combined with the direct and powerful script by Agustín Martínez, Jorge Díaz, and Antonio Mercero—who have adopted the Carmen Mola brand in novel form—has become the winning formula for this production starring Kiti Mánver from Antequera, who plays the courageous grandmother in this plot alongside two other actors she shared the cast with in the popular 'Money Heist', Hovik Keuchkerian and a transformed Álvaro Morte. Both portray the parents of the missing young women.

The name of Frigiliana is the most mentioned in this Netflix intrigue. Thus, the recognizable urban landscape of white houses in the village takes center stage in this plot, which also includes coastal scenes in Torrox, Vílchez Beach in Nerja, and a trendy location in the capital of Malaga, the Huerta del Conde mansion in Pinares de San Antón, where the drug trafficker and father of one of the girls (Morte) resides.

Also successful is a movie set in Malaga

The resounding success of the series 'Two Graves' coincides with another undeniable triumph on the platform that was also filmed in the province, but in the category of movies: 'El Correo'. Daniel Calparsoro's film about money laundering and corruption centered in Marbella is currently in second place of the most-watched on Netflix in Spain, although until last week it was number 1. This film took a while to reach the platform in our country—it premiered earlier on Movistar—but it did so in the rest of the world through the iconic red 'N' operator a year ago and then already led the top 10 of non-English speaking films.

"The Costa del Sol is fucking paradise," says the apprentice criminal played by Arón Piper in this production, which also features the boss Luis Tosar and the indispensable Luis Zahera. Under the slogan 'based on real events', the film tells the story of a savvy guy from Vallecas who becomes a Belgian courier for black money destined for tax havens. This illicit money, once legalized, returns with a round-trip ticket to the real estate business in Marbella in the period leading up to 'Operation Malaya', where commissions grew as fast as the construction cranes.
