Romancero Season 1 (2023) is a chilling Spanish supernatural horror thriller set during one night of relentless escape under a merciless Andalusian sky. Directed by Tomás Peña (credited as MANSON) and created alongside Fernando Navarro, this six-episode mini-series (approx. 30 minutes each) follows Cornelia (Elena Matic), a young girl robbed of her childhood, and Jordán (Sasha Cócola), a youth caught between boyhood and adulthood. The pair flee through an unforgiving desert landscape—not only evading law enforcement and supernatural pursuers but confronting inner demons as ancient curses writhe in the shadows WikipediaWikipedia.

Captured in the stark winter geography of El Ejido, Níjar, Tabernas, and the Portland Valderribas quarry, the series evokes a surreal yet earthy dread. The production design fuses rural Spanish textures with mythic iconography: dust-choked roads, lantern-lit ruins, and a night that itself becomes a beast. Every frame whispers of folklore about demons, witches, and blood drinkers echoing through a landscape as mythical as it is brutal WikipediaFilmAffinityWikipedia.
