The series, which will air on Apple TV+, has shared its first trailer. Longoria plays the lead role of Gala, while seaoned Spanish actress Carmen Maura plays her mother Julia.

“With dangerous criminals searching for her family and now vanished husband, Gala is forced to leave the city with her aging mother Julia (Carmen Maura) and teenage daughter Kate (Victoria Bazúa) to her mother’s hometown in northern Spain — a place that Julia fled 50 years ago — to start life anew and hope their identities remain hidden,” reads the official logline. “But gossip in the charming wine town quickly spreads, unraveling their deepest family secrets and truths.”

Despite the dark tone of the descriptions, the series trailer showcases a light hearted and comedic vibe, fitting perfectly with Longoria and Maura’s talents. You can watch the full trailer below.
