The Mediapro Studio’s ‘El 47,’ About ‘a Man, a Bus and a Neighborhood’s fate,’ Bows Teaser (EXCLUSIVE)


The Mediapro Studio’s 'El 47,' the true story of "a man, a bus and a neighborhood’s fate," bows its official international teaser in Variety.

Helmed by multi-Goya award-winner Marcel Barrena (“Mediterraneo”), it follows bus driver Manolo Vital who is frustrated with the Barcelona City Council’s claim that public transport cannot reach the Torre Baró district due to narrow and unsafe roads. The rest of the cast include Zoe Bonafonte (“Escándalo”), Salva Reina (“Iron Reign”), Carlos Cuevas (“Merlí: Sapere aude”), Oscar de la Fuente (“The Good Boss”), Vicente Romero (Intemperie, Express), Betsy Túrnez (“The One-Eyed King”) and Aimar Vega (“Los pequeños amores”). Mediapro announced at the TV confab that it had joined forces with Catalan pubcaster 3Cat and its online platform to co-produce the thriller series, also based on a true story, about a serial killer terrorizing the streets of locked-down Barcelona during the height of the pandemic in March-April, 2020.
