The Aragonese Pyrenees hosts the filming of 'The Hunt. Monteperdido', new fiction on Spanish Television

A DLO productions team shoots with 7K cameras for more than six weeks in a unique enclave of the Aragonese Pyrenees, the region of La Ribagorza.

The hunt. Monteperdido, the new series that is preparing RTVE in collaboration with DLO Productions, based on the international best seller by Agustín Martínez, is filmed in the Aragonese Pyrenees. Directed by Salvador García Ruiz and Álvaro Ron, headed the cast by Megan Montaner, Alain Hernández and Francis Lorenzo.

The equipment runs for more than six weeks in a unique enclave of the Aragonese Pyrenees, a place where Agustín Martínez, author of the book on which this fiction is based, has been inspired to frame the story. Filming is taking place in the region of La Ribagorza where a large part of the exteriors of the series are being recorded. The streets of Benasque and Cerler have been chosen to represent the fictional town of Monteperdido. In addition, other places such as Llanos del Hospital, the Remuñe ravine, La Besurta, the Benasque forests, the Ésera river or Senarta serve as natural settings for many of the scenes.

For the producers of the series, the Benasque Valley contains all the magic that the novel describes, a nature that becomes another character in the story. A complex and laborious environment with locations that are difficult to access, a production challenge for the technical team, made up of 80 people, and the artistic team, around 90 people.

The team also has 7K cameras with which it is being filmed, something unusual in Spanish series and that will allow The hunt. Monteperdido stand out for its aesthetic and technical invoice.

The casting of this new fiction is completed by Pablo Derqui, Bea Segura, Carla Díaz, Jorge Bosch, Mar Sodupe, Ester Expósito, Laura Moray, Chechu Salgado, Patxi Freytez, David Solans and Juan Díaz, with the special collaboration of Beatriz Carvajal and Jordi Sánchez.

Adaptation of a best seller

The series is based on the novel Monteperdido, by Agustín Martínez, whose translation rights have been sold to Germany, France, Holland and the United Kingdom, and editions are pending in China, Serbia, Portugal, Greece, Taiwan, Italy and Denmark.

Five years ago, two eleven-year-old girls, Ana and Lucía, disappeared in Monteperdido, a town in the Pyrenees. After an extensive search, the case was never solved and the neighbors were left scarred by the tragedy. Now, one of the girls, Ana, has returned. Two UCO agents specialized in disappearances, Santiago Baín, a lieutenant at the end of his career, and Sara Campos, a young sergeant, will work alongside the local Civil Guard corporal in an investigation that will soon be revealed as a labyrinth.

Ana cannot say practically anything about her captor, who always avoided showing his identity. The authorities will throw themselves into the case to find Lucía, but the inhabitants of Monteperdido, even the families of the girls trapped in their secrets and lies, will not make it easy for the investigators. One thing is clear: the monster is among them and the agents will begin a hunt that will put their own lives in danger.

The series has a script by Agustín Martínez, Antonio Mercero, Miguel Sáez Carral, Jorge Díaz and Luis Moya.
