As other European TV giants such as the Rtl Group, Spain’s Atresmedia, owner of the Ott service Atresplayer Premium, is finding the sweet spot between auteur and broad audience shows.
Launched two years ago, Atresplayer Premium boasts fast growth in terms of subscriptions – reaching 400,000 users in Spain alone – and content production volume, readying some 20 new TV projects for this year.
Promoting original voices, the platform is winning international visibility. Iconic original series “Veneno,” created by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, “Los Javis,” successfully launched on HBO Max in the U.S. and Latin America, with a strong impact on the international media, which contributed to strengthening the Atresplayer brand.
Now, “Cardo,” from creators and writers Claudia Costafreda and Ana Rujas, executive produced by Los Javis after becoming one of the hottest indie series of last year for TV critics and audiences, is close to an important international distribution deal.

Such an interestingly titled movie immediately got my attention. What could this movie be about – I was intrigued. Well in simple terms, nearing the end of the Spanish Civil War, a Nationalist soldier decides to become a hermit to look after a fig tree. That sounds simple but strange I know, but I will get to a more detailed explanation soon.
The opening scene makes you feel like you’re going to be in for a harsh and brutal ride, as we see a father and his sixteen year old son killed because they are believed to be traitors to the nation. This is done in a rainy and dark forest while in front of the other son who is just six years old.
