Los Mufas, an Argentine Black Comedy, Debuts on Disney+ With All Eight Episodes

The series taps a uniquely Argentine superstition to explore stigma and mental health through dark humor.

Overview

  • All episodes of Los Mufas: suerte para la desgracia are now streaming on Disney+ following its September 12 premiere.
  • Daniel Hendler and Diego Cremonesi lead as a paranormal journalist and a notorious “mufa,” joined by Carla Quevedo, with Osmar Núñez and Pilar Gamboa in the ensemble.
  • The plot follows Roque’s investigation into the mufa phenomenon and a mission from his wealthy boss to extricate a daughter from a so‑called mufa sect.
  • Created by Kapow and directed by Gabriel Medina, the eight roughly 30‑minute episodes were co‑written by Medina and Javier Rao from an idea by Sebastián Borensztein.
  • Coverage highlights a blend of dark comedy and social themes such as bullying and mental health, with La Nación’s early review praising its suspenseful bent and calling it “muy buena.”
