Netflix Sets Nov. 13 Premiere for '50 Segundos: The Fernando Báez Sosa Case' Docuseries

The three-part series uses new testimonies with archival material to examine a 2020 killing that reshaped Argentina’s debate on youth violence.

Overview

  • Netflix released the first trailer and images, confirming a global debut on November 13, 2025.
  • The docuseries spans three episodes of about 45–50 minutes, directed by Martín Rocca and produced by Fábula with series producer Alejandra Sarmiento.
  • Interviews include Fernando Báez Sosa’s parents and friends, some convicted men and their families, journalists, and judicial and police figures, alongside previously unseen archive footage.
  • The case led to five life sentences and three 15-year terms in 2023, with those rulings upheld on appeal and the national Supreme Court rejecting a federal remedy in September 2025.
  • The Buenos Aires provincial Supreme Court is reviewing the final appeal, assigned to Justice Héctor Negri with a timetable that could push a decision into 2026, as recent filings and prison incidents keep the case in the public eye.
