STARZPLAY, the international premium streaming service from STARZ, has announced that Eréndira Ibarra (The Matrix Resurrections, Ingobernable) has joined the six-episode dramedy series Yellow (working title) as a series regular.
Yellow is the first Spanish-Language Original to be available across the STARZPLAY footprint in the U.K. and Europe – joining the previously confirmed territories of Spain, and Latin America. The series will also be available on Pantaya in the US and Puerto Rico.
Ibarra will play Detective Rojo, who has always had a strange effect on others, with her mere presence causing cases of insecurity in those around her. She is cold and dry and her terribly obsessive personality forces her to categorize people around her as witnesses, suspects, or colleagues. A workaholic with no family or friends, the lack of distractions makes Rojo the best detective to find those responsible for the stolen artwork.
Yellow is the story of two female fugitives, Dan and Nico who hijacks a stick-shift taxi to escape from the authorities after stealing a work of art. Realizing that the car is not automatic, they are forced to kidnap Richie, the taxi driver, who also happens to be a suicidal ex-Formula 1 racer. Constantly having to thwart his suicide attempts, the three reach an agreement: if he takes them to the border, they will kill him.
Produced by The Immigrant, which is backed by global producer-distributor Fremantle, the six-episode, 30-minute series is executive produced by Sofia Auza and Silvana Aguirre who both also serve as showrunners. Executive Producers from The Immigrant are Silvana Aguirre and Camila Jiménez. The series is created by Sofía Auza and directed by Sofia Auza and Silvana Aguirre.
