Selected for the Official Competition at CanneSeries, 'Many People Need to Die' is a six-episode comedy that portrays the contradictions of modern adulthood with sharp humor and unapologetic irony.

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Victoria Martín, this Movistar Plus original series is produced in collaboration with Corte y Confección de Películas, the production company behind the Academy Award–nominated film 'Sirat'.

'Many People Need to Die' tells the story of three women who have been friends since school days and who still struggle to find their place in the world.

Bárbara, a burned-out comedy writer addicted to antidepressants; Maca, a struggling actress, forced to make ends meet by working as a waitress and; Elena, pregnant and married to a 60-year-old rich man

Their reunion at Elena’s baby shower triggers a personal existential crisis that forces them to confront their reality and face who they are and what they’ve become.

Beyond female friendship, the series explores how each woman navigates her own expectations of adulthood in today’s world. It captures their personal crises, all through a fresh, bold comedic tone and highly relatable situations.
