Netflix has today unveiled the first image of The Night Marta Disappeared, the miniseries that fictionalizes the case that shocked Spanish society in 2009. Produced by Bamb Producciones (The Asunta Case) in collaboration with La Claqueta PC and with the support of Marta del Castillo's family, the miniseries stars Blanca Portillo, Vicente Romero, Ver nica S nchez, Mar a Le n, Paco Tous and Hugo Welzel, and has begun filming in Seville.

On January 24, 2009, Marta del Castillo, a 17-year-old girl from Seville, disappeared after leaving home to meet Miguel Carca o. Within hours, what initially seemed like a teenage outing turned into a national tragedy. What followed was a nightmare for her family: contradictory accounts, false confessions, a body that was never found, and a justice system that, despite convictions, was never able to bring closure.

The Night Marta Disappeared is a six-episode fictional miniseries created and written by Ram n Campos, Gema R. Neira, Salvador S. Molina, Curro Serrano and David Orea Arribas, and directed by Carlos Sedes, Laura Alvea and Jos Ortu o. It recounts the real events of the case and the devastating impact on those searching for the truth, no matter the cost.

The series meticulously and respectfully reconstructs everything that happened from the day of the disappearance: the initial investigation, the shifting testimonies of Miguel Carca o and his accomplices, the media trial, and the relentless search for the body-but above all, the family's public fight to ensure the case would not go unpunished. It also explores how the media fueled social tension, and how the public turned Marta's name into a symbol.
