Netflix has released ‘Moria’, an eight-episode biographical fiction series directed by Javier Van de Couter that premiered on August 14, 2026. The production celebrates the life of Argentine icon Moria Casán, utilizing actresses Sofía Gala Castiglione, Griselda Siciliani, and Cecilia Roth to portray different stages of her journey. The series traces Casán’s transformation from Ana María Casanova into a singular public persona, exploring her beginnings in ‘teatro de revista’ and her ability to turn scandal into triumph. The narrative utilizes a non-linear structure to explore what director Van de Couter calls “Casanesca logic,” a term describing her unique approach to life. Some viewers have described the reconstruction of her life as a form of ‘magical realism’ rather than a traditional biography. The series addresses personal vulnerabilities, such as her time in a Paraguayan prison, her historical significance as an icon for the LGBTQ+ community, and her complex relationship with her daughter, Sofía. Coinciding with the series premiere, Casán celebrated her 80th birthday with a private gathering of close friends and family. Since its release, the series has become a significant audiovisual phenomenon, reaching the Top 10 global list for non-English language series and topping charts in Argentina and Uruguay. The production has reignited discussions regarding Casán’s past public conflicts, including a notable 2013 televised confrontation with her daughter. Casán has reflected on the emotional impact of seeing her daughter portray her, stating it felt like ‘embracing myself.’ Following the release, the production has drawn attention to its cast and direction. Actor Alejandro Guerscovich, who portrays a stage manager, noted his professional connection with Sofía Gala Castiglione. Director Van de Couter, a graduate of the National Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Buenos Aires, has also highlighted his transition from writing plays to leading this major project.
