The series revolves around the investigation undertaken by a group of young people after the disappearance of three girls from their environment.

Paradise It will consist of seven 50-minute episodes.

In the words of Fernando González Molina, “Paradise It is born from our desire to tell a fantastic story that connects with the references of our adolescence: Spielberg's cinema, the series V, but also Verano Azul or Compañeros. And connect them with the stories that I have liked to tell in the cinema: epic, emotional stories that seek, above all, the enjoyment of the viewer. It is a trip to entertainment cinema that we were passionate about and made us dedicate ourselves to this, but also a story about loss and the difficulty of being a teenager when you are different.”
