The series will also feature guest characters and cameos by Esty Quesada, Gakian, Victoria Martín, Javier Botet, Hidrogenesse, and many others.

Directed by Ernesto Sevilla and Aníbal Gómez himself, 'Rafaela y su loco mundo' follows Rafaela’s peculiar adolescence. Alongside her friends Corpus, Chelo, and Debo—and her loyal poodle—she will experience situations that help them grow both as a group and as individuals.

The series is produced by Atresmedia in collaboration with Estela Films, Pólvora Films, Boomerang TV (Mediawan Group), and Tenampa Films. It will consist of eight self-contained episodes, each 20 minutes long.

Atresplayer continues to strengthen its commitment to Spanish fiction and has already kicked off production on one of its upcoming titles: Rafaela and Her Crazy World. This new original series from the platform opens the door to a universe where the absurd and the bizarre set the stage for the story.

Co-directed by Gómez and Ernesto Sevilla, the irreverent comedy blends pop aesthetics with chanante-style references.

About 'Rafaela y su loco mundo'

Rafaela is a teenager in a highly functional family made up of her mom, dad, grandmother, and herself. Her mother is a housewife with a passion for dressing up, her father is an inventor who has built a time machine, and her grandmother… is her grandmother.

Together with her friends Corpus, Chelo, and Debo—and of course, her poodle—they’ll face situations that will help them grow as a group, as individuals, and yes, even as a poodle.

Haunted mansions, slumber parties, functional diversity—Rafaela must navigate countless dangers in order to save the world before her teenage years run out and she’s forced to face adult life.
