Goya Winner Carmen Machi Reunites With ‘Spanish Affair’ Co-Scribe Diego San José for Sardonic Movistar+, Mediapro Title ‘Celeste’


The life of a humdrum tax investigator takes a wily turn in this six-part episodic bowing at the San Sebastian Velodrome on Sep. 22.

San José, who penned the series with co-scribes Daniel Castro and Oriol Puig, points to the similarities in lived experiences when recounting the force behind writing the vivid characters, who grapple with despair, insecurity and ambition. Though she lives on the periphery, her presence is felt in every corner of the narrative, she’s beloved – and this proves a constant hindrance for the inspector, who seeks help from an invasive paparazzo (Manolo Solo) and an obsessed fan, both unsympathetic to her pursuits. The daring first season of ”Celeste” is set to bow on the platform this autumn with Antonio Durán Morris, Aixa Villagrán, Clara Sans, Jesús Noguero and Marc Soler rounding out the cast.
