Las Muertas Breaks Into Netflix Top 10 After Sept. 10 Debut

Luis Estrada reimagines Jorge Ibargüengoitia’s novel as a darkly satirical crime drama about impunity.

Overview

  • It is currently reported at No. 3 in Netflix’s Top 10 following its global release on September 10.
  • The six-episode miniseries streams exclusively on Netflix and requires an active subscription.
  • The series adapts Ibargüengoitia’s book by fictionalizing the Poquianchis case, renaming the González Valenzuela sisters as the Baladro sisters and taking creative liberties.
  • Principal roles are led by Paulina Gaitán, Arcelia Ramírez and Joaquín Cosío, with Alfonso Herrera among the key cast.
  • Critics note strong execution and a blend of dark humor with crime drama, and Cosío highlights the depiction of social complicity and corruption as the story’s most unsettling element.
