Daniel Écija reflects on the controversial finale of ‘Los Serrano’
Daniel Écija, the creator and producer of the Spanish television series ‘Los Serrano’, has reflected on the controversial conclusion of the show. In a recent interview, Écija admitted that the decision to frame the final season as a dream experienced by the character Diego Serrano was made under intense time pressure and personal circumstances.
Écija explained that he was largely separated from the production team during that period due to personal issues, which forced a rushed resolution for the series' direction. He described the resulting plot twist as ‘anachronistic’ and ‘strange,’ noting that the decision was made after a weekend of deliberation and a single night of thought.
While the finale received significant criticism from viewers at the time, Écija now views the outcome with more humor and sympathy, considering it a nod to the show's roots in family comedy. However, he conceded that he would likely not make the same creative choice today.
