Premise

Four women meet at the sessions of the AMPA (Asociación de Madres y Padres de Alumnos, the conventional name for the interest groups of the students' parents and legal guardians in the Spanish education centres):[1] Mayte (Toni Acosta); a seller of food processors, Lourdes (Malena Alterio), dedicated to processing identity cards at the neighborhood's police station; Virginia (Nuria Herrero), a young pregnant woman; and Amparo (Mamen García), an old woman taking care of her grandson).[2] They casually got involved in an involuntary homicide that prompts them to ramp up in their criminal activities.[2]

A substantial part of the fiction takes place in the streets of Carabanchel, Madrid.[3]

The series was selected as the buyers' favourite out of 10 series pre-screened at the MIPDrama Summit during 2019 Cannes' MIPTV fair.[9]

The first episode aired on 19 June 2019 on Telecinco and it earned a great free-to-air viewership, attracting 2,996,000 viewers and seizing a 20.9% share of the audience in prime time, becoming the most watched new fiction release in Telecinco in the season.[10][11]

Filming for the second season started in October 2019.[12] Pilar Castro, Mariola Fuentes and Julia Molins were added to the cast.[12] Belgian RTBF, Brazilian Globosat, Latin-American OnDIRECTV and German Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland TVNOW broadcasters reached agreements with the Spanish distributor Mediterráneo Mediaset España Group to air the series in their respective markets, whereas rights for the adaptation of the series were purchased in Italy, Greece, Romania and Hungary.[12]

The first part of the second season was eventually released on Amazon Prime Video on 16 October 2020.[13] By late 2020, with the second part of the second season pending for release, the creator Carlos del Hoyo reported that they were working for the wrap-up of the series with a third and final season.[14]
