Production and release
Produced by Mediaset España in collaboration with BocaBoca, the filming of the series started in July 2011 under the provisional title '2055'.[1] The shooting location reportedly was a 3,000 m2 set in San Sebastián de los Reyes.[9] The first episode premiered on 11 January 2012 on Telecinco.[10] Directed by Antonio Hernández,[11] the series comprised twelve 70-minute long episodes.[9]
Jeansy Aúz authored the score.[12] The series' main theme "Pero si tú no estás", was written and performed by Nena Daconte.[12]
After a "promising" 16.9% share of audience in the first episode (overcoming its Wednesday rival Downton Abbey),[13] the number of viewers deflated gradually down to a minimum of 8.5% in the penultimate episode, averaging a "weak" 11.3%,[10] even after Telecinco's decision to reshuffle the series from Wednesday to Tuesday and then again back to Wednesday.[10]
Telecinco decided not to renew the series for a second season.[14]
The web airing fared better becoming one of the most demanded online contents of Mediaset España's Mitele platform,[15] and, well received abroad at the Cannes' MIPTV (joining the event's "Wit List"),[16] DirecTV purchased its rights for the Americas.[10]
