When No One Sees Us OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Mariela Garriga & Maribel Verdú's series in India
When No One Sees Us OTT Release Date: If psychological thrillers laced with suspense, secrets, and slow-burning tension are your thing, then When No One Sees Us might just be your next binge-worthy watch. Adapted from the Sergio Sarria novel of the same name, this highly anticipated Spanish series is finally making its India debut. You'll be able to catch it on JioHotstar starting June 14, 2025. What is When No One Sees Us all about? This thrilling limited series comes from Spain, but don't let the language fool you; it's packed with universally chilling themes. At the centre of the story is Mariela Garriga, best known for her intense performances in European cinema, and Maribel Verdú, the iconic Spanish actress you may recognise from Pan's Labyrinth and Y Tu Mamá También. Directed by a talented Spanish team and backed by Disney's international content slate, When No One Sees Us unfolds in a small town in southern Spain during Easter week. The story starts when a man in the town is found dead in what looks like a suicide. But something about it doesn't feel right. A local police officer, Sergeant Lucía Gutiérrez (Maribel Verdú), starts looking into it and quickly realises there might be more to the story than people are letting on. At the same time, a U.S. military agent named Magaly Castillo (Mariela Garriga) arrives at the nearby American air base. She's there to find a missing American soldier. Her investigation leads her to question the base's commander, who seems to be hiding something. As she keeps digging, Magaly starts to see that the soldier's disappearance might be connected to what's happening in the town. Soon, both Lucía and Magaly realise their cases are linked. Together, they uncover a tangle of secrets involving both the townspeople and people from the military base. When No One Sees Us also stars Austin Amelio, Ben Temple, Dani Rovira, Dani Téllez, Joe Manjón, Lorca Prada, Jorge Suquet, Numa Paredes, María Alfonsa Rossot, Lucia Jiménez, Eloy Azorín, Virginia de Morata, Carlos Beluga and Ana María Vivancos among others.

‘When No One Sees Us' Is a Rich and Gorgeous Spanish Crime Drama
The Spanish series 'When No One Sees Us,' beginning Friday on Max, is one of the better foreign-crime dramas in ages — focused, beautiful, sturdy but artful. The show is set in a small town in Spain where there is a U.S. Air Force base, and the story unfolds during Holy Week, which adds to the sense of import and impending crisis. 'No One' (in Spanish and English, with subtitles) is the tale of two cops and two investigations, one local and one foreign. Lucía (Maribel Verdú) is the Spanish cop with a testy teenage daughter, a deteriorating mother-in-law and a phone that never stops ringing. She's looking into a startling ritualistic suicide and an emerging drug ring. Adding to her to-do list is Magaly (Mariela Garriga), a high-ranking investigator for the U.S. military, brought in to find a missing airman who might be part of an intelligence breach. Like many fancy contemporary crime shows, some of the action here, including the denouement, unfolds during distinctive local festivals — in this case Nazarene processions, in which some celebrants don tall, pointy hoods while others carry a massive wooden float bedecked with candles and religious statutes. The show is brimming with Catholic imagery, and characters have ecstatic religious experiences, both sober and drug-induced. 'Let's go do some penance,' one guy sighs as he heads out to see his in-laws. The show is gorgeous to behold, bright and sunny and rich in detail; people's cars, their gaits, the way they smooth their hair down when taking off a hat, those things all add up. 'No One' is also full of life and humor. A grandmother warns her granddaughter, 'All men want the same thing: to complicate our lives.' Plenty of shows have Type A female characters whose quirk is an obsession with junk food, but here that is taken to a realer and more painful place as a straight-up eating disorder. Small characters are sketched with fascinating specificity and affection, so much so that one wants to prolong the mystery just to spend more time with everyone. There are eight episodes, satisfying and engrossing — and without that hot-boxed misery and gloom that so many crime dramas confuse for substance.
