Overview

• Netflix released the eight-episode season on September 19 as a full drop with installments running roughly 46 to 70 minutes.
• Created by Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato of La Casa de Papel and Vis a Vis, the series centers on multimillionaires confined to the Kimera bunker under the threat of global conflict.
• Production built the vast Kimera set at Netflix’s Tres Cantos hub in Madrid, using a stage exceeding about 7,000 square meters with virtual-production LED backdrops and limited exteriors in Colmenar Viejo and Playa de la Barrosa.
• Cast members including Miren Ibarguren, Joaquín Furriel, Natalia Verbeke and Carlos Santos highlight a claustrophobic, character-driven story that leans into class critique described by the team as a pointed look at concentrated power.
• Interviews note a surprising early twist without revealing details, and the creators say they have ideas for a second season that remains unconfirmed.
