Red Queen

Antonia Scott has the highest IQ ever recorded in Spain. Once the star consultant to a covert police task force, she has retreated from the work after personal tragedy. When the son of one of the country's most powerful families is found murdered in a ritualistic display, the bureau pulls her (reluctantly) back in.

About

Amazon Prime Video's Red Queen (Spanish: Reina Roja) launched in March 2024 across seven episodes, one of the streamer's highest-profile Spanish-language original commissions of that year. The series is adapted from Juan Gómez-Jurado's bestselling 2018 novel of the same name, the first in a trilogy that had sold over a million copies across Spain and Latin America by the time the show premiered.

Direction is split between Koldo Serra (episodes 1-2 and the finale) and Salvador Calvo (the central episodes). Vicky Luengo leads the cast as Antonia Scott, with Hovik Keuchkerian (known internationally for his role in Money Heist) as her partner Jon Gutiérrez. Nacho Fresneda, Celia Freijeiro and Pere Ponce are among the supporting players. Cinematography is by Alex Catalán, the longtime Alberto Rodríguez collaborator (Marshland, The Plague).

On its launch in Spain it was the most-watched Spanish-language Amazon Prime Video original, and it ranked in the streamer's global top ten in over twenty territories during its first two weeks. A second season, covering the trilogy's second novel Loba Negra (Wolf Mother), went into production at the end of 2024.
