On April 22, 1984, three siblings –two boys and a girl– appear alone at Estación de Francia in Barcelona. They are six, four, and two years old and are named Ramón, Richie, and Elvira. They don't know their surnames or their parents' names. Nor do they know what they are doing at that station. The three children only speak French and say they are from Paris. The mystery surrounding their origins has accompanied the three siblings for a good part of their lives, but when Elvira became pregnant, she decided it was time to try to discover who their parents were and why they were abandoned. This fascinating investigation has become the docuseries Abandoned, produced by Carles Porta's team, and will be available on Disney+ from May 29. Before its official premiere, a first preview will be held this Saturday at the DocsBarcelona festival.

A group of children between 5 and 12 years old are lost and isolated on a tropical island after a plane crash. Without adults to control them or pre-established rules, they try to govern themselves, but reality imposes itself: violence always finds a crack to slip through and inequalities always make their presence felt. This is the premise of Lord of the Flies, William Golding's dystopian novel from 1954, which now arrives as a miniseries on Movistar Plus+ (it premieres in full this Thursday, May 7). Behind the production, which bears the BBC's seal of approval, is Jack Thorne, co-creator of Adolescence, the Netflix miniseries that also revolves around how the youngest are drawn into violence and rage.

A very floral carpet with reminiscences of Van Gogh saw the top brass of global celebrities pass by this Monday night, who gathered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to raise funds for the Fashion Institute. The traditional Met Gala was held, not without controversy due to the participation of Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon, and his wife, Lauren Sanchez, as the main financiers of the event, a fact that has led to calls for a boycott. Nevertheless, the gala continues to be the big fashion party and this year the chosen theme –Fashion is art– has given rise to the most diverse interpretations: on the carpet we have seen sober dresses but also very outlandish options, the most direct way to make an impact.

Last week, actors Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci jointly received their respective stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The fact that they did the ceremony together is not only because they are co-stars in The Devil Wears Prada 2, but also for a second reason: they are technically family thanks to a love story that originated at the premiere of the original film. This is because in 2012, Blunt and Tucci became in-laws.

Spain has experienced a six-position drop compared to last year in the index compiled annually by Reporters Without Borders, placing it in 29th place, according to data released today. Its score allows it to be part of the group of countries where "the situation is rather good," according to the NGO. However, Reporters Without Borders points out that the country has several weaknesses regarding press freedom, such as chronic job insecurity, an increase in abusive legal actions against journalists as a mechanism of intimidation, polarization, and the emergence of far-right agitators who harass media professionals. In this regard, the report indicates that digital violence primarily affects women journalists, who are the ones who receive the most intense, systematic, and personalized attacks. Finally, the organization reproaches Pedro Sánchez's government for not having been able to advance in the repeal of the most controversial aspects of the "gag law".

The production Yo siempre a veces, set in Barcelona and co-created by Marta Bassols and Marta Loza, has won the award for best screenplay at the Canneseries festival, which concluded this Tuesday. The dramedy, which can now be seen on Movistar Plus+, follows the life of Laura, a girl from Santa Coloma who gets pregnant shortly after starting an intense relationship with Rubén, the owner of a bar in the Raval with whom she goes to raves. When they separate, Laura is faced with the reality that she must assume the upbringing of her son almost alone. The series shows the difficulties of being a mother in a precarious environment.During its run at Canneseries, Marta Bassols explained that the series "has a lot" of her own motherhood and that there are some parallels between her and the protagonist. "I am also from Santa Coloma, I also lived in Berlin, I got pregnant without thinking much about it and I stayed in Barcelona –like the character of Laura–. I also broke up and was left with a very small child, smaller than the one in the series, and I filmed from house to house," explains Bassols in statements collected by the Efe agency. Yo siempre a veces is Bassols' first production as a creator, who as an actress has appeared in other fiction such as Això no és Suècia and La Mesías and in films such as El futuro and Mamántula. The other creator of the series, Marta Loza from Asturias, has been part of the art department of films such as Dolor y gloria, by Pedro Almodóvar, or the music video Motomami by Rosalía. The Canneseries award for best screenplay was shared by Bassols and Loza with a third screenwriter, Almudena Monzú. The direction of the series also has a feminine touch: in addition to Loza, Claudia Costafreda and Ginesta Guindal have been behind the camera.

The House of the Spirits, by Isabel Allende, is arguably one of the most popular novels in Latin American literature. At a time when platforms have embraced literary adaptations as a formula for success, platforms have embraced literary adaptations as a formula for success, it was to be expected that such a well-known book would eventually have a television version, and an exuberant one at that. Prime Video premieres its adaptation of Isabel Allende's work this Wednesday, with Allende serving as executive producer alongside American actress of Mexican origin Eva Longoria.

Thus, the award for photo of the year goes to Separated by ICE, a photograph taken for the Miami Herald in one of the few federal buildings in the U.S. to which photojournalists had access.

After many weeks of boiling the pot with his arrival at La Sexta, this Tuesday the program hosted by Marc Giró premieres on the second channel of Atresmedia. Following the path of the Late show that until a few months ago he did on La 1, Giró premieres Cara al show, a weekly interview program that will always include a "reivindicative" monologue, according to the network. The godparents of the first episode, which airs from 11:00 PM, will be Estopa, who have already appeared in the program's promotions recorded inside an elevator, one of the hallmarks of the now defunct public television program that is also used in Cara al show.

A few weeks ago, psychologist and content creator Sandra Parmo recommended a Korean film on her social media, 18x2 beyond youthful days, or in Spanish 18 years later. Quickly, several followers told her that they hadn't managed to find the film on the platform in any way. Parmo gave them a piece of advice: change the interface language to English, the easiest way to locate this title, which for many users seemed invisible. Are there really series or films that appear or disappear depending on the language in which we have Netflix configured? The short answer is yes, but the situation is a bit more complex.

When she was only 23 years old, Lena Dunham sold her first series, Girls, to HBO Max. The dramedy about a group of four friends living in New York was one of the shows that marked television in the second decade of the 2000s, and its protagonist and creator was very often also the subject of all sorts of articles and criticisms, often for her physique. Now Dunham, who will turn forty in May, has just published a memoir, Famesick (it will be published here in Spanish in September), in which she reviews not only the impact that sudden fame had on her but also her relationship with her co-stars on the series and the many health problems she has suffered throughout her life.

When Euphoria premiered in 2019, it took half the world by surprise. The series, which was an adaptation of an original Israeli title, showed adolescent disillusionment and anguish in a new way thanks to Sam Levinson's stylistic daring and managed to hook adult viewers even though, in principle, they were not the target audience for the production. After a four-year wait and voices claiming that the third season would never happen, the HBO Max fiction returns with an installment that has many chances of being the definitive farewell according to the statements of its protagonists. A good part of the cast are now global stars, although when the series started they were practically unknown. We review the five most outstanding names of , which in its third season will mix drug trafficking, sex, and decadence.
