Netflix Spanish thriller releases draw strong viewership

Entities: Roger Gual · Mieres · Netflix · José Coronado · Los creyentes

Overview

In July 2026 Netflix expanded its Spanish‑language thriller slate with the adaptation *Los renglones torcidos de Dios*, the fast‑paced film *Non Stop*, and Roger Gual’s psychological thriller *Los Creyentes* (internationally *Conspiradores* or *The Truthers*). Critics praised its atmospheric cinematography and commentary on digital misinformation, and the title quickly became Netflix’s most‑watched release, drawing a large international audience.

The momentum continued into August. Within its first week, *Los Creyentes* rose to the top of Spain’s Netflix chart and entered the global top‑ten, ranking sixth worldwide. Filmed largely in Asturias—Mieres, Langreo, Quirós—and with additional work in Madrid and Berlin, the production highlighted the region’s mining heritage and natural scenery, sparking local interest and tourism promotion.

These developments underscore Netflix’s ongoing strategy to broaden high‑quality Spanish‑language genre content and capture both domestic and global viewers.
