Netflix has officially begun filming Jotadé, a four-episode Spanish-language miniseries starring Isaac Díaz as the titular character. The project marks a significant career transition for Díaz, who gained initial fame as a "tronista" on Telecinco’s Mujeres y hombres y viceversa in 2014 before moving into acting. The series is an adaptation of the first novel in Santiago Díaz’s literary saga and features a robust ensemble cast including Jose Coronado, Aura Garrido, and Jaime Lorente.
The narrative centers on Jotadé, described as an unconventional, irreverent, yet deeply loyal police officer within his Gitano community. When tasked with investigating a brutal crime linked to a dangerous criminal network, he must navigate a mission that defies his inability to remain unnoticed. Directed by Daniel Calparsoro (Salvador) with a screenplay by Isa Sánchez and Daniel Corpas, the production is backed by MOD Producciones under producers Fernando Bovaira and Guillem Vidal-Folch.
