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—one of Spain’s most popular comedians and co-host of the hit podcast 'Estirando el Chicle'—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 childhood and who still struggle to find their place in the world.

Bárbara appears to be living a perfect life as the pregnant wife of a wealthy hotel owner—until she reconnects with her childhood friends: Maca, a struggling actress, and Elena, an exhausted comedy writer dependent on antidepressants.

Their reunion at Bárbara’s baby shower triggers a deep existential crisis that forces her to abandon her carefully constructed façade of “perfection” and seek refuge in the complex yet profoundly authentic bonds of her past.
