An upcoming showdown unfolds this week as a fresh challenger enters the scene. antenna 3 has confirmed the premiere of the series’ first episode, and Gypsy Bride has its first two parts available on Atresplayer Premium since yesterday.
This move marks a clear push from Atresmedia to spotlight one of the year’s most anticipated dramas. The network calls the event special and unmistakably exclusive to the paid platform, signaling a bold strategy to attract devoted viewers.
Adapted from Carmen Mola’s acclaimed novel of the same name, the story aims to dethrone the Wednesday night juggernaut of The Island of Temptations. That reality show, hosted by Sandra Barneda, captured a 20.5% audience share and 1,613,000 viewers, tightening Telecinco’s grip on prime time against Wife which drew 1,650,000 viewers at 16.4% share.

Synopsis for The Gypsy Bride
The Gypsy Bride centers on a ruthless murder investigation led by Elena Blanco, a senior homicide investigator with the BAC, the Case Analysis Brigade. Blanco is an exceptionally perceptive detective who bears the weight of a painful past that haunts the Macaya family, parents of two young women killed six years apart. Blanco and her team are on the trail of a brutal ritualist responsible for the crimes.
Written by Carmen Mola for the 2021 Planeta Award winning The Beast, the novel is the first volume of a trilogy that has resonated with more than 600,000 readers. Its publication in ten countries demonstrates that the phenomenon born in 2018 has evolved into a vast saga that continues to grow. The project is expanding with plans for adaptations such as Purple Web by Atresmedia, and further installments like Girl.
