The miniseries directed by Pablo Larra n, based on the tales of Mariana Enriquez, begins filming at the end of June.

Netflix announced the production of My Sad Dead (Mis muertos tristes), a miniseries of four horror drama episodes produced by Fabula where, as Mariana Enriquez suggests, the true terror is not the supernatural itself, but the horrors that society hides.

The series is based on the tale My Sad Dead from the award-winning Argentine author Mariana Enriquez, borrowing from passages and characters from her other works: Julie, A Sunny Place for Shady People and Back When We Talked to the Dead.

Mariana Enriquez, Guillermo Calder n, Anastasia Ayazi and Pablo Larra n adapted the tales.

Filming will start at the end of June.

It will be filmed in Buenos Aires (exteriors and locations) and Santiago, Chile (interiors).

Synopsis: Ema, a 60-year-old doctor, can see and hear the dead. She calls them presences and has lived her entire life avoiding letting this gift connect her with the suffering of others. But when her niece Julie - a disturbed young woman who can also communicate with the dead, but in a much more intense and sexual manner - arrives at her house, Ema is forced to get involved. What begins as a family reunion turns into a disturbing chain of events that alters the balance between the world of the living and the dead, infecting an entire neighborhood with voices from beyond. As the borders between life, death, and desire blur, Ema will have to confront her past, her daughter, and the ghosts she never let go.

Starring Mercedes Mor n, Dolores Fonzi and Alejandra Flechner. Also in the cast: Carlos Portaluppi, Germ n de Silva, Chilean actress Luz Jim nez and the presentation of Carolina S nchez lvarez.

Pablo Larra n: Marianas writing is particularly visual, always brilliant, and always dangerous. Its a casual, domestic horror that inspires and will inspire many film and television adaptations. Im grateful to Netflix for the opportunity to work with this team of people I admire and who will undoubtedly do everything possible to make the best miniseries possible .

Mariana Enriquez: I am very happy that Pablo Larra n and Fabula are giving me the honor of adapting my stories into a single miniseries. I personally enjoy adaptations; I think they are readings, and I also have high expectations for this reading of My Sad Dead. The entire process was very calm and respectful, and the fact that its being released on a platform with the reach that Netflix has is breathtaking, along with the satisfaction of producing locally in Latin America .

Francisco Ramos, Vice President of Netflix Latin American Content: Our growing commitment to the best Argentine stories takes on added meaning with the addition of one of Latin Americas most important directors behind this new project. Working with Pablo Larra n to bring Mariana Enriquezs stories to the screen seemed like a natural fit.
