Bambú prepares 'Now And Then', the first Spanish series for Apple+

Apple TV+ once again bets on the Spanish-speaking market with Now And Then, an original production that will be filmed in Spanish and English by Bamboo Productions.

The project is captained by Ramón Campos, Teresa Fernández-Valdés and Gema R. Neira, the same team behind Velvet, The cable girls y Great Hotel. Gideon Raff (The spy, Homeland), for his part, will be executive producer and will direct the first two episodes.

Set in Miami and with an entirely Hispanic cast, Now and Then is a multi-layered thriller that explores the differences between youthful aspirations and the reality of adulthood, when the lives of a group of college best friends change forever after a weekend of celebration ends with one of them dead. Now, 20 years later, the remaining five will reluctantly reunite due to a threat that endangers their seemingly perfect worlds.
