Álvaro Morte Returns to Netflix in Dark Spanish Thriller Two Graves
Netflix dives into grief and vengeance in its new Spanish limited series, Two Graves, starring Álvaro Morte and Kiti Mánver. Premiering August 29, the drama promises a gritty descent into the secrets of a quiet coastal town.
A haunting new mystery arrives this summer as Two Graves (Dos Tumbas), a Spanish limited series from Netflix, premieres globally on August 29, 2025. Created by Agustín Martínez with writing contributions from Jorge Díaz and Antonio Mercero, members of the acclaimed Carmen Mola collective, the series blends literary prestige with gripping crime storytelling.
Set in a quiet coastal town in Málaga, the series follows Isabel, played by Kiti Mánver, a grieving grandmother determined to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of her granddaughter Verónica. Her unlikely ally is Rafael, portrayed by Álvaro Morte (Money Heist), a father who also lost his daughter that same night. As their stories intertwine, the show explores vengeance, justice, and the cost of confronting the past.
The trailer for Two Graves reveals a chilling atmosphere punctuated by raw emotion and simmering tension. Mánver’s performance as Isabel anchors the narrative with fierce vulnerability, while Morte’s Rafael adds a dangerous edge to the reluctant partnership. The plot thickens as they peel back layers of deception in a town filled with secrets.
Adding further weight to the ensemble is Hovik Keuchkerian, another Money Heist alum, whose presence adds to the anticipation. With only three episodes, Two Graves promises a concise, intense narrative arc packed with suspense and emotional stakes.
The creative minds behind Two Graves bring a unique pedigree. Carmen Mola, the pseudonym for the trio of Martínez, Díaz, and Mercero, is known for best-selling Spanish crime novels rich in psychological depth and dark intrigue. Their transition from page to screen could elevate the series into must-watch territory for fans of complex thrillers.
For Netflix, the series strengthens its growing catalog of Spanish-language content, following the success of titles like The Snow Girl and Burning Body. The addition of a literary thriller led by familiar faces positions Two Graves as a standout in the platform’s late summer lineup.
With its limited format, acclaimed cast, and literary roots, Two Graves aims to deliver a powerful emotional punch in a compact package. If the trailer is any indication, viewers should prepare for a chilling ride through grief, revenge, and moral ambiguity.
