between the lands It was the most watched series on Netflix over the weekend in Argentina. Over the course of 10 episodes, this Spanish costume melodrama closely follows the story of an Andalusian woman who must take care of the lives of her mother and her brothers, no matter what.
But why was she involved in a scandal? First you should know that Between Lands has been distributed on other platforms and on Spanish television –Antenna 3– before landing on the “N”. Something similar to what happened with La casa de papel. Therefore, the streaming giant does not have much to do with this case.
What happens is that Between Earths is an adaptation of the Italian miniseries Wife and this, apparently, was not very clear to everyone.
A dangerous confusion
Therefore, in September last year, when the series premiered in Victoria Festivalthe content director of Atresmedia, José Antonio Antonthey had to clarify that they were not committing a “act of piracy”.
“The Wife is an Italian miniseries that we broadcast on Antena 3 and (Between Earths) is a free adaptation of that story. We expanded that universe and brought it here. When you see both, you see two different series. They were able to create a very original series,” Antón clarified after many colleagues let him know that the plot of his series was practically the same as the Italian production.
And he added: “Many characters are not in the Italian original. We have not committed an act of piracy, we have the rights to the format, but it is a very original series.”
Between Earths was the most watched series on Netflix this weekend.On that occasion, Antón also recalled that they have had “an agreement with Netflix for many years” and Montse Garciathe Atresmedias fiction director spoke about the possibility of a second season: “I don’t know if there will be a second season. We’ll have to work on it.“.
Between Lands was directed by Pablo Guerrero, Humberto Miró and María Togores and starred Megan Montaner, Unax Ugalde, Juanjo Puigcorbé and Carlos Serrano, among other actors and actresses.
The series of the moment have left The Three-Body Problem and The Unexplained File in the top 3 of the most watched on Netflix.
