Netflix's new crime thriller series looks like a mystery-laced revenge story — here's the first trailer
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Netflix just dropped the first trailer for 'Two Graves,' a new Spanish crime thriller series directed by Goya Award-winning filmmaker Kike Maíllo. The story follows a grandmother's frantic search for her missing granddaughter and her friend, who vanished mysteriously two years earlier. What starts as a quest for answers quickly spirals into a relentless pursuit of revenge. 'Two Graves' is set to premiere on Netflix on August 29, and judging by the trailer, it looks pretty brutal. The trailer introduces Isabel (Kiti Mánver), the grandmother of one of the missing girls, who, with nothing left to lose, takes justice into her own hands and launches an off-the-books investigation. We also meet Rafael (Álvaro Morte), the father of the other girl who went missing alongside Isabel's granddaughter. In the trailer, Isabel confronts him directly, accusing him of knowing more than he's letting on. He simply responds with: 'I owe my daughter this revenge.' This is a clear signal that the story will shift from a slow-burn mystery into full-blown revenge thriller territory. The rest of the footage is pretty brutal at times. Quick flashes show Isabel smashing someone's knee with a hammer in a desperate attempt to extract information, and another scene depicts someone being crushed under the weight of a car. It's gritty, violent, and clear that neither character is holding back anymore. 'Two Graves' on Netflix — what we know right now Along with the first trailer, we also got an official synopsis: 'Two years after the disappearance of Verónica and Marta, two 16-year-old friends, the investigation is declared closed due to lack of evidence and suspects. 'The grandmother of one of the two girls, Isabel, who has nothing to lose, decides to carry out an investigation beyond the law. Isabel will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth about what happened that night and what begins as the search for a culprit, soon becomes a story of revenge.' The rest of the cast includes Hovik Keuchkerian, Nadia Vilaplana, Joan Solé, Zoe Arnao, Nonna Cardoner, Carlos Scholz, and Salva Reina. 'Two Graves' was created by Agustín Martínez and helmed by director Kike Maíllo. With a track record of emotionally gripping and visually compelling movies, Maíllo's distinctive style will likely be instantly recognizable in this upcoming series. He first gained major recognition with 'Eva,' a sci-fi thriller that won him the Goya Award for Best New Director. His subsequent works, such as 'Toro' and 'A Perfect Enemy' show his versatility in crafting tension-filled narratives across genres. Martínez is a celebrated Spanish novelist and screenwriter, best known for crime dramas like 'Monteperdido.' When creating 'Two Graves,' he told Netflix: 'Two Graves is a revenge story led by a character rarely seen at the heart of fiction, someone who could only find her place on a platform like Netflix: a grandmother willing to do whatever it takes to seek justice for the loss of her granddaughter. 'A thriller full of emotion and unexpected twists, brought to life by Kiti Mánver, Álvaro Morte and Hovik Keuchkerian, characters I truly enjoyed writing.' Even though 'Two Graves' isn't officially labeled as a revenge thriller, the trailer definitely leans into that concept with its brutal scenes. Even the shot of Isabel casually wiping blood off her piano made me chuckle (in a good way). But what makes the series stand out isn't some lone, haunted antihero like John Wick. Instead, we get a grandmother and a father, both fiercely determined to seek justice… the bloody way. It's a refreshing twist to say the least. 'Two Graves' looks like it could be a gripping ride packed into just three episodes. If stories about grief turning into a violent reckoning are your kind of thrill, this crime thriller series belongs on your watchlist. You can stream 'Two Graves' on Netflix starting August 29.

Two Graves OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Kiti Mánver and Álvaro Morte's new Spanish mini-series
Two Graves OTT Release Date: What happens when justice gives up, but you don't? When the police shut the file on a missing teenager, one grandmother refuses to accept the silence. Instead, she arms herself with pain, determination, and a terrifying will to dig out the truth. Netflix's Two Graves is a tightly packed emotional grenade, ready to explode with grief, rage, and revelation. The three-episode limited series drops on August 29, 2025, only on Netflix. What is Two Graves all about? Set two years after the mysterious disappearance of two teenage girls, Verónica and Marta, the story opens with a cold, bureaucratic closure: the police have exhausted all leads and officially shelve the case. But for Isabel, grandmother to one of the missing girls, the pain hasn't dulled. With no more patience for the system's dead ends, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Played by Kiti Mánver, Isabel is not your stereotypical elderly woman. She's driven by loss and rage, and she's got absolutely nothing to lose. Her solo investigation starts as a desperate search for answers but quickly spirals into something darker. As she pulls back the layers of silence and secrets, her pursuit shifts from truth to retribution. As the official synopsis hints, 'what begins as the search for a culprit soon becomes a story of revenge.' Meet the cast and crew of Two Graves At the heart of Two Graves is Kiti Mánver, a veteran of Spanish cinema, best known for her memorable roles in Pedro Almodóvar's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and What Have I Done to Deserve This?. Joining her is Álvaro Morte, aka 'The Professor' from Money Heist, in the role of Rafael. Also part of the central trio is Hovik Keuchkerian (Antoine), known for his layered performances and screen presence. The supporting cast is equally solid and includes Nadia Vilaplana (Verónica), Zoe Arnao (Marta), Joan Solé, Nonna Cardoner, Carlos Scholz, Salva Reina and Camino Fernández among others. Two Graves is created by Agustín Martínez, the acclaimed writer behind La Caza. Monteperdido and co-creator of the Carmen Mola writing collective. The scripts are penned by Jorge Díaz and Antonio Mercero, Martínez's collaborators in Carmen Mola. Kike Maíllo, a Goya Award-winning filmmaker (Eva), directs all three episodes. The show is produced by Sábado Películas, with Toni Carrizosa and Verónica Vila-San-Juan serving as executive producers alongside Maíllo.
