Production and release
Created by Aitor Gabilondo and Joan Barbero,[10] Madres. Amor y vida is produced by Mediaset España in collaboration with Alea Media.[6] Mediterráneo Mediaset España is the series' distributor.[6] The 26 episodes corresponding to the first and second season were shot in Madrid.[11] Consisting of 13 episodes, the first season premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 8 May 2020.[12][13]
The first season of the series premiered on 9 September 2020 on Telecinco.[14] The second season was released on Amazon Prime Video on 13 November 2020.[6] Despite the bad viewership ratings of the first season's free-to-air broadcasting run on Telecinco (which forced the channel to bring forward the finale in order to make room for new programming leaving 5 unaired episodes), Mediaset España renovated the series for a third season, also ordering the creators to work in a potential fourth season, conceived as a sort of spin-off.[8][15]
Featuring 8 episodes,[16] season 3 premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 23 September 2021.[17]
NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises and Mediterráneo Mediaset España Group struck a distribution agreement so the series could stream on the Peacock's SVOD tier starting in late 2022.[18][19]
Season 4 premiered on 8 April 2022.[20]
