Since its launch, Bridgerton has stood as Netflix’s flagship series, inspiring the streamer to chase the same winning formula with new period dramas, not always set in Britain. The project Manual for Ladies follows that blueprint. It is slated to debut on March 28 and will deliver the familiar mix of romantic intrigue, lavish period design, and young women seeking suitable matches, all produced in Spain.

Three Sisters

The plot thickens when the lead returns to the Mencía household to guide three sisters. Can the woman tasked with orchestrating the marriages of the city’s affluent young ladies discover her own heart? The story examines the tension between duty and desire, between professional obligation and the possibility of romantic happiness.

The cast features a blend of performers with a track record in romantic comedy and drama. The ensemble brings a balance of experience and vitality to the project, ensuring a tone that blends lightness with emotional depth and a convincing sense of period life.

Eight Episodes

Eight episodes are produced by Bambú, a studio celebrated for crafting period dramas. Bambú has shaped numerous acclaimed series, delivering stylish storytelling, authentic atmosphere, and meticulous production values that capture the mood of bygone eras while staying accessible to today’s audience.

The series is the product of a seasoned creative team with extensive experience in era pieces. The direction conveys a strong, cinematic tempo, while the writers and producers shape the humor, romance, and social dynamics that drive the overall narrative. The setting is Madrid in the 1880s, a period marked by Alfonsine influence and the Restoration, which anchors the drama with historical texture.
