Netflix has set the global premiere date for The Asunta Case (El caso Asunta), a new true-crime drama limited series from Spain.
The Asunta Case centers on one of the most shocking cases in Spain in 2013: the murder of 12-year-old Asunta Basterra.
On September 21, 2013, Rosario Porto and Alfonso Basterra report the disappearance of their adopted Chinese daughter, Asunta, whose body is found hours later next to a road outside of the pilgrimage city Santiago de Compostela. But the police investigation soon uncovers evidence that points to Rosario and Alfonso as the perpetrators of the girl’s murder — news that shakes the city and the region of Galicia, even the entire country.
The cast of the six-episode limited series includes Candela Peña (Hierro, All About My Mother) as Rosario Porto and Tristán Ulloa (Berlin, The Snow Girl) as Alfonso Basterra, along with Javier Gutiérrez (Below Zero), Carlos Blanco (The Minions of Midas), María León (The House of Flowers), Francesc Orella (Merlí), Alicia Borrachero (Morocco: Love in Times of War), and Iris Whu, amongst others.
Produced by Bambú Producciones (Cable Girls, Velvet, Cocaine Coast), The Asunta Case premieres globally on Friday, April 26, exclusively on Netflix. (You can set a reminder for it now.)
