The title is called Cristo y Rey, and it stars Belén Cuesta and Jaime Lorente, who will be reincarnated in the famous marriage. If the streaming platform has already triumphed with the acclaimed Veneno series, get ready because this new series is going strong.
Cristo y Rey Release date 2022 Series: Cristo y Rey With Jaime Lorente, Belén Cuesta, Adriana Torrebejano, Cristóbal Suárez, Artur Busquets Cuesta and Lorente return to share the scene after the last two seasons of La Casa de Papel, where they gave life to Manila and Denver, respectively. On this occasion, its characters are based on two real people and set in another era, the 1980s. Daniel Écija is the creator, screenwriter and producer of the fiction that will explore the life of one of the most famous tamers in the world and one of the most important vedette in Spain.
But, how do the protagonists face this incredible challenge? Belén Cuesta, who is about to release the film A boyfriend for my wife, along with Hugo Silva, has recognized in El Homriguero that this project "is the most exciting thing I've ever done".
She was an absolutely pioneering woman (Bárbara Rey), fascinating, her life was absolutely incredible. she deserves to be told
For the preparation of her character, Cuesta has been in contact with Rey, "I have been able to meet her, talk to her...", and after these meetings she has discovered a facet of women beyond the public figure. "She gives me a lot of respect and that is one of the first things I told her, that I wanted to do her justice. It is very difficult to be a star of Spain," says the actress.
She fame, luxury and a great expectation. That was what accompanied Rey and Cristo from the moment of their fleeting courtship until their wedding, one of the ceremonies of the year and that monopolized all the covers of the magazines of that time. From the moment of their union, the Bárbara Rey and Ángel Cristo Circus has become the show that everyone wants to attend; a millionaire business with lights and shadows that later moved to their relationship.
We tell a part of her life (Bárbara Rey) that she did not know, honestly. I find it very interesting
