Netflix sets Aug. 28 global premiere for Spanish limited series “All the Truth in My Lies”
The streamer is rolling out a five-episode, Spanish-language adaptation of Elísabet Benavent’s novel, unveiling first images and a teaser ahead of its worldwide launch date.
Netflix has set a worldwide release date for its upcoming Spanish limited series “All the Truth in My Lies,” scheduling the five-episode show for August 28, 2026. The company also released first-look images and a teaser as part of the announcement.
The series is based on a novel by Elísabet Benavent, whose earlier works include adaptations that have reached global audiences through Netflix. Netflix said the book was published by Suma, an imprint within Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial.
Netflix’s synopsis centers on Coco and Marín, two best friends who have lived together for years. Ahead of a caravan trip with their inner circle to celebrate a friend’s bachelorette party, Netflix says the outing turns into a “ticking time bomb” as hidden secrets among the group begin to unravel.
The announcement highlights a large ensemble cast anchored by Daniel Ibáñez, Itziar Manero, Ricardo Gómez, Brays Efe, and Lucía de la Fuente, along with Clara Sans. Netflix also listed additional cast members beyond those five, but did not provide a full role-by-role lineup in the release itself.
On the production side, Netflix credited a team that includes Elísabet Benavent, Ángel Armada, and Marina Pérez as executive producers. The company said César Benítez is the producer, while María Togores co-directs with Marina Pérez and the pair also co-wrote the screenplay with Montaña Marchena.
Netflix’s collaboration extends to Plano a Plano, the Spanish drama production company described by Netflix as having a strong international track record. Netflix said Plano a Plano is chaired by César Benítez and has been part of ITV Studios since 2025, and it cited prior series and international hits associated with the company.
For Netflix, “All the Truth in My Lies” fits a broader strategy of building global catalogs with locally rooted storytelling - particularly in Europe - while emphasizing recognizable IP and clear, time-limited formats. A limited series structure can offer marketing clarity (a contained arc and a known episode count) and gives the company flexibility in how it schedules and tests international titles.
Even with release timing, Netflix did not provide several details that viewers often look for ahead of premiere, including episode runtimes, a complete cast-and-character breakdown, and additional credits such as guest stars, composers, or cinematography leads. The company also did not disclose whether all episodes will drop at once versus staggered releases, though Netflix typically favors the former for limited series.
With August 28 approaching, the next items to watch are Netflix’s continued rollout - such as deeper character trailers, expanded casting announcements, and regional marketing support - as well as how the series’ Spanish-language drama positions itself within Netflix’s summer-to-fall programming slate. Investors and industry watchers will also likely look to see whether Netflix leans further into adaptations of popular Spanish-language novels as a repeatable content engine for international growth.
Why It Matters
- Netflix is continuing to expand its international scripted slate with a Spanish-language drama designed for a global audience.
- Using a well-known novelist’s work suggests Netflix is prioritizing recognizable IP to reduce uncertainty in how new titles find viewers.
- A five-episode limited format can make it easier for Netflix to market a contained narrative and gauge performance across regions.
- The production partnership with Plano a Plano, including its link to ITV Studios, points to deeper European content sourcing as Netflix builds pipeline depth.
