Spain’s RTVE, Mediacrest Reveal Buzzy Police Procedural ‘Internal Affairs’ at Berlin’s Series Market Select

Holly Jones Spanish public broadcaster RTVE, alongside Mediacrest and Mediacrest El Clásico AIE, will tease the highly anticipated Spanish police procedural “Internal Affairs” (“Asuntos Internos”) at Berlinale’s Series Market Select showcase Spanish Thrillers, organized by Iberseries & Platino Industria.

The buzz title, created by Pedro García Ríos and Rodrigo Martín Antoranz, follows Clara (Laia Manzanares, “Estoy vivo”), among the first female detectives in Spain, after she’s accepted to a seedy Madrid precinct just as a heroin becomes readily available in Spain.

A fresh-faced and naive young new hire, her empathy and moral compass fast prove a detriment as she navigates the tough demeanor of her male peers with her unquenchable thirst for a justice predicated on equity, a fair shake.

Directed by María Togores (“Entre tierras”) and Samantha López Speranza (“No Traces”), the series jolts to an adrenaline-filled start as Clara lies breathless in the back of an ambulance-being rushed to the hospital after being attacked.
