Second season
Hierro tells the story of Candela (Candela Peña), an expert judge with a strong character. Just when he is new to his strange new destination, El Hierro, he has to face a murder case. Everyone there thinks that the culprit is Diaz (Dario Grandinetti), a murky businessman, as determined as the judge to find the murderer. She, for doing her job. Him, for proving his innocence. Both will enter a physical and emotional path, a path to hell that begins in paradise.
The series, which since its premiere last June has become the second best premiere of all the series issued by Movistar + and is already among the most viewed on the platform's payment channels, will begin in the next few days filming his second season, which will continue to be starring Peña and Grandinetti.
With this series, Portocabo continues to work in its line of international fiction, initiated with productions such as Miracle Tunes -production between Italy and Spain- or Auga Seca and Vidago Palace, both produced with Portugal for broadcast on Galicia Television and RTP
