MARFIL and \u00c9BANO are produced by Pokeepsie Films, part of Banijay Iberia, and production is now underway in Madrid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prime Video today announced MARFIL and \u00c9BANO, its upcoming Spanish Original films based on the bestselling Enfrentados duology, comprising the novels Marfil and \u00c9bano.
The film\u2019s star Ester Exp\u00f3sito (Venus) and Hugo Diego Garc\u00eda (The Substance) as Marfil and Sebasti\u00e1n, respectively. Production on MARFIL and \u00c9BANO is now underway in Madrid. The films will be available on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide as part of a Prime membership<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Marfil Cort\u00e9s, the daughter of a powerful Spanish businessman, sees her seemingly perfect life in New York turned upside down when she is suddenly kidnapped and released without explanation. Her father subsequently hires the enigmatic Sebasti\u00e1n Moore as her bodyguard. Forced to spend every minute together, they initially clash over her untamable spirit and his guarded nature, but an undeniable attraction soon develops between them. When they return to Spain and the threats against Marfil intensify, they must navigate a world in which no one is who they claim to be and nothing is what it seems. <\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the incredible success of the Culpables films, we are delighted to continue expanding Mercedes Ron\u2019s universe on Prime Video with the adaptation of the Enfrentados series,\u201d said Mar\u00eda Contreras, Head of Movies and Scripted Series at Amazon MGM Studios Spain. \u201cBringing these novels to the screen with actors as talented as Ester Exp\u00f3sito and Hugo Diego Garc\u00eda marks another exciting milestone in our commitment to projects made in Spain that connect with audiences around the world.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\u201cWe are incredibly excited to begin filming Enfrentados. It is a genre we love, and we hope the films will connect with audiences as strongly as our adaptations of the Culpables novels have,\u201d Pokeepsie Films, part of Banijay Iberia, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am incredibly excited to bring a series that is so beloved by its fans to the screen,\u201d said Mercedes Ron, author of Enfrentados. \u201cAfter years of waiting, its moment has finally arrived, and I cannot imagine better partners than Pokeepsie and Prime Video to make it a reality. I cannot picture a better Marfil than Ester or a better Sebasti\u00e1n than Hugo.\u201d <\/p>\n

The announcement of MARFIL and \u00c9BANO marks the third collaboration between Prime Video and bestselling author Mercedes Ron, following the adaptations of her popular Culpables trilogy and the D\u00edmelo series. Culpa m\u00eda became Prime Video\u2019s most successful non-English-language film of 2023. Just one year later, in 2024, Culpa tuya broke every record to become the most-watched non-English-language Original in Prime Video history. The final installment in the trilogy, Culpa nuestra, will premiere soon, while D\u00edmelo bajito is currently in production. <\/p>\n

MARFIL and \u00c9BANO are produced by Pokeepsie Films, part of Banijay Iberia, whose credits include Veneciafrenia, 30 monedas and El bar. \u00c1lex de la Iglesia<\/a> and Carolina Bang<\/a> serve as producers, \u00d3scar Pedraza<\/a> (Patria, Vivir sin permiso) directs, and Sof\u00eda Cuenca<\/a> (Culpa tuya, Culpa nuestra) wrote the screenplay.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
