This upcoming documentary series centers on King Juan Carlos I and is set to premiere on HBO Max, as the streaming platform confirms its addition to the catalog. The project, titled Save the King and produced by Producciones Mandarina, will examine themes surrounding the monarch’s life and the controversial voices that have emerged in recent years.
The series promises to include numerous testimonies from individuals within the king’s inner circle, offering a look at alleged secret events associated with Juan Carlos I. The production frames its narrative around espionage, conspiracies, and quiet agreements, describing how the state apparatus historically operated to shield the honorary king from his actions and to obscure his scandals. The creators position this as a revealing account of the mechanisms that can influence public perception and political power around a figure of such prominence, bringing forward an account that has drawn substantial public attention.
HBO Max viewers will be able to stream Save the King as part of the platform’s expanding documentary lineup. The release date is slated for the near future, with availability expected to begin in the next season. The rollout is positioned within a catalog of documentaries and nonfiction programming that has found a strong following among audiences seeking in-depth, investigative storytelling.
