Max unveils its new Spanish original series, When No One Sees Us, an intense and mysterious thriller that delves into the tensions between deep-rooted Spain and the American military presence. In a small Andalusian village, Morón de la Frontera, where centuries-old traditions and foreign influence coexist, a suspicious suicide and a disturbing disappearance will reveal a network of corruption and buried secrets.
Maribel Verdú(Pan's Labyrinth, The Flash) plays Lucía Gutiérrez, a Guardia Civil sergeant investigating a suspicious death during the Holy Week processions. At the same time, Magaly Castillo (Mariela Garriga, Mission Impossible 7 and 8), a special agent with the US army, is sent to the nearby military base to find a missing soldier. As the investigation progresses, they discover that their cases are closely linked, and that buried truths could upset the delicate balance between the local community and the US army.
When No One Sees Us will air on Max from March 7, 2025, with a new episode every Friday.
Synopsis: During Holy Week in Morón de la Frontera, Guardia Civil sergeant Lucía Gutiérrez (Maribel Verdú) investigates a disturbing suicide, while U.S. Army special agent Magaly Castillo (Mariela Garriga) is tasked with finding a missing soldier. Aided by Andrew Taylor (Austin Amelio), a military policeman, they discover that their investigations are much more closely linked than they imagined, revealing a conspiracy involving both the villagers and the American military at the nearby base.
Based on the novel by Sergio Sarria, When No One Sees Us follows in the tradition of the Iberian crime thriller, combining police investigation, political tension and human drama. Enrique Urbizu, acclaimed director of La caja 507 and No Peace for the Wicked, orchestrates this intriguing blend of crime thriller and film noir under the Andalusian sun.
Through the cohabitation of a village deeply rooted in its traditions and an omnipresent American military base, the series explores the tensions between national identity, military power and organized crime. Holy Week becomes a setting both sacred and threatening, where unspoken secrets and underlying confrontations lurk.
With a cast featuring well-known figures from both Spanish and American cinema, When No One Sees Us promises some outstanding performances. Award-winning actress Maribel Verdú plays a seasoned investigator confronted with a mystery beyond her capabilities. Mariela Garriga, recently seen in Mission Impossible 7, plays an American agent plunged into a world beyond her control. Austin Amelio(Fear The Walking Dead) plays an enigmatic and solitary military policeman. Ben Temple(Upon Entry) plays a manipulative colonel whose shadow hangs over the investigation. Dani Rovira, a famous Spanish comedian, surprises in a dramatic role.
With its immersive ambience, atypical setting and tension-filled plot, When No One Sees Us promises to be a captivating thriller, part noir thriller, part social drama and part interplay of influences between local communities and foreign militaries. An ideal series for fans of suspenseful investigations in settings as sunny as they are threatening.
