We reveal the teaser trailer and the first images of ‘Memento Mori’, based on the first novel by César Pérez Gellida in the trilogy 'Versos, canciones y trocitos de carne'. The six episodes of the series, starring Yon González and Francisco Ortiz, will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in October in Spain and Portugal.
Produced by Zebra Producciones (Grupo iZen), the series begins when the body of a young woman with her eyelids amputated appears in Valladolid. Inspector Sancho (Francisco Ortiz) foresees a chain of murders, and with the support of "Carapocha" (Juan Echanove), one of the leading experts on serial killers, follows the trail of corpses that Augusto (Yon González), a sociopath with refined tastes, leaves around the city. They soon discover that they are dealing with a killer who commits crimes with a soundtrack and signs the bodies of his victims with poems. What Sancho doesn't know is that the chase will turn into a very personal duel.
The series stars Yon González (Las chicas del cable, El Internado), Olivia Baglivi (Libélulas, Brigada Costa del Sol), Juan Echanove (Desaparecidos, Alatriste), Francisco Ortiz (¡García!, El Cid) and Manuela Vellés (Historias para no dormir, Citas Barcelona). The cast is completed by Juan Fernández (El Cid, Lucía y el sexo), Fernando Soto (La casa de papel, Celda 211), Carlota Baró (Las chicas del cable, Amar es para siempre), Javier Varela (El secreto de puente viejo, As bestas), Juanma Lara (La mancha negra, El Príncipe), Alicia Sánchez (Sky Rojo, Hospital central), Unax Hayden (20. 000 especies de abejas, Irati), Rodrigo Poisón (Parot, Orígenes secretos), Ana Villa (Infiesto, El Cid), and Pau Romero (Presos en el extranjero).
The six 45-minute episodes are produced by Zebra Producciones (Grupo iZen), with Jose Velasco, Sara Fernández-Velasco, Luis Arranz, Marco A. Castillo and Ibón Celaya in executive production, Marco A. Castillo and Fran Parra in direction, script by Germán Aparicio, Abraham Sastre and Luis Arranz, and original soundtrack by Alfonso González Aguilar.
