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.

Spanish company to produce film on uncovered drug tunnel between Morocco and Ceuta
The Spanish production company Esto También Pasará is preparing to launch a new film project inspired by the secret security operation known as «Operation Hades», recently revealed by the Spanish Civil Guard. This operation uncovered an international drug trafficking network operating through a clandestine tunnel connecting Morocco and Ceuta. The film will be produced by Álvaro Ariza, with a screenplay by Fernando Navarro, known for his work on Verónica and Bajocero. Filming is set to begin next year, as the documentation and research phase is still underway. The movie draws from real events, recently declassified, involving the discovery of a massive tunnel used for years to smuggle large quantities of drugs between Morocco and Ceuta. The operation implicated security personnel, businessmen, parliamentarians, and a sophisticated logistics network that enabled the passage of shipments without detection. Producer Ariza explained that he learned about the operation's details through media reports, coinciding with the release of his previous film, Tierra de nadie. His close connections within the Spanish Civil Guard granted him access to detailed information that formed the foundation for the story. Ariza reflected, «How can a tunnel 50 meters long and 12 meters wide be built without anyone noticing? It's a story that surpasses fiction and deserves to be told on screen».
