Prime Video announced the upcoming drama series “Barreda,” which dramatizes the 1992 quadruple homicide committed by Argentine dentist Ricardo Barreda in La Plata. The first trailer, released on 23 July 2026, highlighted the casting of Luis Machín as Barreda and introduced co-production partners About Entertainment, Infinity Hill and Amazon MGM Studios, with a premiere date set for 28 August. A week later, Prime Video provided further details, confirming the series will premiere worldwide on 28 August and be available in over 240 countries and territories. The description emphasizes a victims-perspective narrative and notes the extensive media scandal the murders generated in Argentina. The cast includes Carla Peterson and Mercedes Morán. As the premiere approaches, producer Armando Bó revealed that the project faced significant difficulties in securing financing over a 15-year period because of the “sensitive and controversial nature of the subject matter.” Directed by Daniela Goggi, the series is intended as a drama rather than a parody, aiming to treat the tragedy with respect. The production is based on investigative research by journalists Josefina Licitra, Soledad Vallejos, and Florencia Etcheves. Additional details confirm the production is a fictionalized drama centered on the victims to restore their identities, rather than focusing on the perpetrator. The cast is further noted to include Maite Lanata. On 28 August 2026, the production was released on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories. ~~The work, directed by Daniela Goggi with a script co-developed by Goggi, Josefina Licitra, Tamara Talesnik, Juan Cavot,~~ Following its debut, critics and ~~Donna Tefa, dramatizes~~ cast members noted the ~~1992 quadruple femicide of Barreda’s wife, mother-in-law, and two daughters.
