Atresmedia has announced changes to its release calendar, affecting two of its most anticipated productions. Instead of ‘The Big Leap’, announced for this November, Atresmedia has brought forward the premiere of one of its series: ‘The Shadow of the Earth’, which will arrive on November 24 on the atresplayer platform. This rural drama is based on the novel of the same name by Elvira Mínguez, who also debuts as director of the project. The story is set in a town where personal conflicts and power dynamics are a central part of the plot, highlighting the relationship between Garibalda (Adelfa Calvo) and Atilana (María Morales), who represent two opposing forces in the small rural universe.
‘The shadow of the earth’ It has a notable cast that includes Carmelo Gómez, Marcos Ruiz, Ginés García Millán and other renowned actors. The series, which consists of four 50-minute episodes, is an original production by atresplayer in collaboration with Fonte Films, with Elvira Mínguez as scriptwriter and director.
This premiere affects another big announcement, as the communication group has decided to paralyze the premiere of ‘The Big Jump’, the series that tells the life of the gymnast Gervasio Deferr and which was scheduled for next November 17. The production, starring Óscar Casas as Deferr, focuses on the most intense moments of the athlete’s life, from his successes at the Olympic Games in Sydney, Athens and Beijing to his personal battles in a dark stage marked by self-destruction.
The series, created by José Rodríguez and based on Deferr’s own biography of the same name, it consists of five 50-minute episodes. The filming took place in different locations in the province of Barcelona, where the story of the gymnast and his path to improvement has been recreated, both in sports and personally.
