Carmen Maura y Apple TV
Apple TV+ announced a six-episode series order for Land of Women, the new dramedy inspired by author Sandra Barneda’s best-selling novel of the same name.
Created and written by Ramón Campos (Gran Hotel) and Gema R. Neira (Now and Then), Eva Longoria (Flamin’ Hot) will star in the leading role as Gala and executive produce via her UnbeliEVAble Entertainment banner.
Legendary film and television star Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) joins the cast as Gala’s mother Julia. The series is currently in pre-production in Spain.
Land of Women is a dramedy starring Eva Longoria as Gala, a New York empty nester whose life is turned upside down when her husband implicates the family in financial improprieties, and she is forced to flee the city alongside her aging mother and college-age daughter. To escape the dangerous criminals to whom Gala’s now vanished husband is indebted, the three women hide in the same charming wine town in Northern Spain that Gala’s mother fled 50 years ago, vowing never to return. The women seek to start anew and hope their identities will remain unknown, but gossip in the small town quickly spreads, unraveling their deepest family secrets and truths.
Land of Women will be directed by Carlos Sedes (Now and Then). The series is produced for Apple TV+ by Bambú Studios and the groundbreaking show will be shot in both English and Spanish and made available to watch in each language. The series is executive produced by showrunner Ramón Campos, Teresa Fernández-Valdés (Now and Then), Ben Spector (Grand Hotel), and Longoria via her production company UnbeliEVAble Entertainment, founded in 2005 by Longoria to produce film, television, and documentaries.
