When Devils Rule

When Devils Rule is a six-episode Spanish series in development at Atlantika Films, reuniting director Rodrigo Susarte with actress Itziar Ituño following their collaboration on the upcoming Movistar Plus series Patagonia. Oscar-nominated Karla Sofía Gascón and Ituño have committed to star as two of four working-class heroines who work across care, education, healthcare, and journalism while fighting supernatural forces concealed within society. Created and produced by Atlantika founder Nano Arrieta and Claudia Ruíz, the contemporary thriller blends political satire with fantasy and folklore, loosely inspired by Manuel Mujica Lainez's novel The Journey of the Seven Demons. Arrieta is drafting the pilot script with Basque screenwriter Ibai Ariztegi. The project is being pitched at Tallinn's TV Beats Co-Financing Market in November 2026, competing for the Council of Europe Series Co-Production Development Award. Around sixty percent of Spanish production costs are expected to be covered by Basque region tax incentives, with Atlantika actively seeking platform, broadcaster, and co-production partners.
