Luimelia Creators Bring Beloved Couple to Present Day

The team behind the popular series Luimelia, Borja González Santaolalla and Diana Rojo, is best known for shaping a story that resonates beyond its original run. They, together with Camino Sánchez, had already steered the couple’s arc in the show that starred Paula Usero and Carol Rovira. Set in a Franco era backdrop of forbidden love, the project evolved into a modern narrative about two women whose relationship is celebrated rather than censored, and the public response helped inspire a broader conversation about LGBTQ+ stories on screen. When Atresmedia invited them to expand the series, the creators chose to bring the characters into the present day, preserving the heart of their bond while placing it in a gentler, more open context that reflects contemporary attitudes toward romance and identity.
