ATRESplayer Premium teamed with Bamboo Productions to reveal a fresh Tuesday evening premiere for a new series centered on a provocative figure in the world of adult cinema. The project is framed as a biography in spirit, yet it unfolds as a bold, fictional narrative designed for streaming on the Atresmedia platform.
Eight episodes form the initial arc, led by Martino Rivas. The series traces the rise of a controversial film star and the birth of a multi‑billion dollar industry that has long fascinated the public. A strong ensemble rounds out the cast, including María de Nati, Andrés Velencoso, Pepa Charro, Edu Soto, Miriam Giovanelli, Carmen Conesa, Montse Guallar, and Nacho Novo, all contributing to the compelling tapestry of this new drama.
Teresa Fernández-Valdés, the project’s creator, emphasized the value of bringing this story to life in its own right. She described it as a courageous production for Atresmedia, noting that the team has previously built celebrated series like Velvet and Gran Hotel. The result, she added, stands as a remarkable new chapter worth watching.
She also clarified the artistic stance: this is not a traditional biography or a porn-focused program. It is a fiction that takes creative liberties while aiming to provoke thought and discussion. The tone is audacious, sometimes controversial, and designed to challenge conventional boundaries.
The showrunner reflected on a key message: porn can be a work of fiction. He explained that there are real social conversations around sexuality that deserve open dialogue, urging viewers to consider how these topics are portrayed on screen. The production team believes addressing these issues honestly can spark important conversations about culture and society.
Martino Rivas, who embodies the lead, explained that the portrayal focuses on more than physical attributes. He highlighted the actor’s journey, the complexity of character, and the human traits that shape ambition and vulnerability. The experience was described as a meaningful voyage, with nuances beyond public perception and celebrity status.
The new original series will premiere exclusively on Atresplayer Premium on March 5, inviting audiences to explore a cinematic lens into a well-known industry, guided by a narrative that blends ambition, controversy, and introspection.
What is the series about?
The story begins in 1993 with Ignacio Jorda, known to fans as Nacho, a young man bursting with energy and a hunger to live without restraint. He grows up in a traditional, Catholic family where his father sees him as someone with little future or talent. Yet, there is more beneath the surface.
Nacho discovers a latent talent and, with the encouragement of Sara Bernat, a pivotal figure in his life, begins pursuing a path in adult cinema. This choice launches him toward international recognition, signaling the start of a journey toward fame and influence that will reshape how audiences perceive the industry. The narrative follows the relentless pursuit of success, the battles behind the scenes, and the evolution of a public figure who navigates fame, scrutiny, and personal boundaries.
