The Plague (2018)

As the Spanish Empire's grandeur starts to fade into the annals of history, the city of Seville, once the jewel of Europe and a strategic gateway to the New World, starts to crumble. The Guadalquivir River, once a bustling artery pulsing with the spoils from the Americas, is now a haunting reminder of the city's past glory. The seismic shift from feudalism to the Renaissance and the rise of the bourgeoisie shakes the very foundations of this once thriving metropolis. The 16th century proves to be a time of tumultuous change, marked by the relentless onslaught of the plague. The deadly disease ravages not just Spain, but all of Europe, leaving the hospitals overwhelmed and the city's brothels and convents under relentless scrutiny. Amidst the decadent nobility, a hedonistic struggle for power ensues, casting a dark shadow over the beleaguered city. In the midst of this chaos, Seville begins to bleed from another wound. Corpses of murdered individuals are discovered, serving as ominous harbingers of the apocalypse. The city, once known as the Great Babylon, a melting pot of races, languages, and wealth, now stands on the precipice of its own downfall. Thrust into this maelstrom is Matthew, tasked with untangling the web of diabolical crimes committed against Seville's high society. His is a journey of redemption, for failure would mean eternal condemnation by the unforgiving Holy Office and a death sentence from the Inquisition. Set against the backdrop of one of the world's most beautiful yet foulest cities, "The Plague" is a riveting character-driven thriller, navigating the labyrinthine streets of a society on the brink of collapse. The show masterfully weaves a tale of intrigue, betrayal, and survival, transporting viewers into the heart of a city grappling with its own mortality.

The Plague is an action show featuring Sergio Castellanos and created by Alberto Rodríguez.
