Premise

Somewhat trying to move away from the heavy focus on regional stereotypes so embedded in the namesake film,[1] even if the characters display different regional backgrounds, the comedy follows a heterogeneous elite group of law enforcement officers at the service of the Spanish Ministry of the Interior coming from different units: a TEDAX, a Ertzaintza, a green beret, a mossa d'esquadra and a CNP agent.[2][3]

Cast

Production and release

Cuerpo de Élite consists of an adaptation to a television format of the eponymous 2016 film written by Adolfo Valor and Cristóbal Garrido and directed by Joaquín Mazón.[8][9] Produced by Atresmedia Televisión in collaboration with MOD Producciones,[8] both Mazón, Valor and Garrido returned in the same capacity (director and writers).[9] Mar Olid joined Mazón at direction duties.[10]

The series premiered on Antena 3 on 6 February 2018.[11] The broadcast of the first episode earned a "magnificent" 24.6% share as well as 4,193,000 viewers.[11] The broadcasting run wrapped on 8 May 2018 with a "good" 16.4% average audience share, even though the season finale only scored a 12.3% share (1,832,000 viewers).[11] The series was cancelled by Antena 3 after one season.[12]
