Overview

  • The two-part Netflix docuseries, originally set to premiere on May 1, 2025, has been removed from the platform following a court order.
  • María Ángeles Molina, convicted for a 2008 murder, secured the injunction, alleging the use of her pre-crime personal images without consent.
  • Netflix has also privatized all promotional trailers for the series on YouTube and removed the series from its catalog entirely.
  • The court's decision will determine whether Netflix can release the series as is, reedit it to exclude the contested images, or cancel it altogether.
  • The series, directed by Carlos Agulló, explores two cases involving Molina: the 1996 death of her husband and the 2008 murder of Ana Páez, but does not include testimony from Molina or her daughter.
