Dani de la Torre’s List of Spanish Television & Film Projects is Growing

Dani de la Torre is busier than ever…

The Spanish writer, director and producer and his business partner Beto Marini, the creators of Movistar+’s La Unidad, are considering a spinoff of the Spanish counterterrorism drama series, and they’re working on a female-led thriller for Atresmedia Cine.

Dani de la Torre, Details on de la Torre and Marini’s latest projects are limited, but according to Deadline, development is underway on the feature, with the spinoff at an early stage of gestation — dependent on the outcome of the upcoming third season.

La Unidad, from Buendia Estudios, is set to shoot its third season in Galicia, continuing to focus on a Spanish anti-terrorism unit as attempts to stop attacks on Spain. The series stars the likes of Nathalie Poza, Michel Noher and Marian Alvarez.

Following the neutralization of Season 2’s big threat, part of the team led by Carla Torres is in Afghanistan. Their objective is to meet with an infiltrator who has information about a possible attack in Spain, but the visit coincides with the takeover of Kabul by the Taliban, which complicates everything and the agents are caught between a rock and a hard place.

“We are thinking about a spinoff but let’s see how the shooting on Season 3 goes first,” de la Torre told Deadline.

Details of the Atresmedia Cine thriller are thin, but it will be female-led. De la Torre’s latest film Live is Life released in Spain on June 3 via Warner Bros. Pictures Espana.

He and Marini are also working on a Movistar+ scripted series about mafia activities in Marbella. It will center on organized crime activity in southern Spain; the port town Marbella on the country’s Costa del Sol has been dubbed “a united nations of crime” due to the number of different international gangs operating there.
