Netflix boasts an impressive catalog of original series in many languages, and none has done better than perhaps its Spanish-language contingent. With hits like Elite and Money Heist touted as impressive hits, so much so that the latter inspired an equally successful Korean remake, Netflix hopes to perhaps recreate something similar to that success with its latest original Spanish-language series, Muted, which is slated to premiere on the 19th. May on the streamer. Ahead of the crime drama's arrival, Netflix released a trailer that hints at how authorities hope to get inside the mind of the man known as the Balcony Killer.
Most of the actions people take in life are driven by a thought process, a reason behind each step they take. So when a murder occurs, a couple thrown from the balcony of their house to their deaths, the police look for a motive behind this action of the perpetrator in custody. It's even more complex when the murderer is the couple's son and doesn't even say a word to anyone about the incident: El Silencio.
Creator: Aitor Gabilondo
Stars: Manu Ríos, Arón Piper, Almudena Amor
The trailer begins at the beginning of the story, with the murders themselves. Six years have passed and the time for the crime has expired, and Sergio, played by Arón Piper from Elite, is leaving prison early for his good behavior. While he could go out and inherit the house where he committed the crimes, it seems the law isn't done with him.
With his apartment fully guarded and monitored, the authorities, led by psychiatrist Ana Dussel (Almudena Amor), are still trying to monitor his activities to determine his motive and how much of a threat he continues to be. However, the process soon has to adjust to a new, previously unknown variable in the adolescent Martha. Randomly showing up on Sergio's doorstep and seemingly attracted to him, Martha could be the key to Sergio finally talking, or at least the psychiatrist wanting to use his hopes.
The series will consist of a total of eight chapters and was filmed in some locations, mainly in Madrid and others such as Bilbao, Vizcaya and the Basque Country. In addition to the aforementioned names of Amor and Piper, Muted will star another Elite alumnus in Manu Ríos. Other cast members include Ramiro Blas, Aitor Luna, Cristina Kovani, Viti Suárez, Aria Bedmar, Mikel Losada, Elena Sáenz, Estela Theus, and Miguel Garces. Muted is created, written and produced by Aitor Gabilondo.
