RTVE announced the premiere of the new original series Operación Barrio Inglés, which arrives this Friday, April 12, on the international OTT platform RTVE Play +. This story, full of love, action, and suspense, was co-produced with Emociona Media and Onza and recorded in several locations in Andalusia: Huelva, Seville, and Cadiz.
María Eizaguirre, director of Communication and Participation of RTVE, highlights the ingredients of this new project: “Espionage, adventures, intrigue and a risky love story”. On the other hand, José Pastor, director of Cinema and Fiction of RTVE, highlights the importance of the historical context and taking the productions out of the usual cities, which he considers “a great attraction”.
In Operación Barrio Inglés, Huelva becomes, during the 40s, in the middle of World War II, a real nest of spies from both sides, among which Lucía Valbuena will be forced to move. The young woman, recently hired by an English mining company as a secretary, meets the manager, Peter, an attractive Englishman with a dark past who will drag her into a plot where neutrality is not a valid alternative in times of war.
The series has an international cast headed by Aria Bedmar, who plays Lucía Valbuena, the protagonist, who will face a decisive role in this story. She is accompanied by Peter Vives, who plays Peter Smith, and Rubén Cortada, who plays Francisco, the conservative Civil Governor of the city with great political aspirations, whose love for Lucía will make him question his values.
