Netflix has announced the start of filming for Ciudad de sombras, a new thriller series resulting from the adaptation of the saga «Milo Malart». A gruesome crime has occurred in La Pedrera - Casa Milà: a burning body appears on the façade of Gaudi's emblematic building. Inspector Milo Malart ( Isak Férriz ), until now suspended from his job, comes back to activity and, hand in hand with deputy inspector Rebeca Garrido ( Verónica Echegui), will try to find the author of this crime.
This new thriller will be shot during fall and winter in different locations in Barcelona. Isak Férriz ( Asalto al Banco Central, Burning Body, Bajocero ), Verónica Echegui ( Intimacy, The Patients of Dr. García ), Ana Wagener ( The Innocent ), Manolo Solo (The Fury of a Patient Man) and Jordi Rico ( Apache: The Life of Carlos Tevez ) form the cast of this series, amongst others.
Ciudad de sombras , which Arcadia ( Burning Body) produces for Netflix, is directed by Jorge Torregrossa (Burning Body, Fariña, Intimacy) . Together with Torregrossa, scriptwriters Carlos López and Clara Esparrach have written the six episodes that adapt the first novel by Aro Sáinz de la Maza, author of the tetralogy of «Milo Malart», published by Destino (Grupo Planeta).
