Filming for Netflix’s adaptation of Javier Castillo’s The Crystal Cuckoo recently wrapped. The series will star Sky Rojo’s Catalina Sopelana and Money Heist’s Itziar Ituño. The series could potentially be released on Netflix in 2025. Here’s everything we know so far about The Crystal Cuckoo on Netflix.
The Crystal Cuckoo is an upcoming Spanish thriller television series created by Jesús Mesas and Javier Andrés Roig. It is directed by Laura Alvea and Juan Miguel del Castillo and produced by Atípica Films. The series is an adaptation of Javier Castillo’s novel.
When is The Crystal Cuckoo coming to Netflix?
As the series wasn’t listed in Netflix’s 2025 international slate, it’s unclear if The Crystal Cuckoo will be released in 2025. If the series does land on Netflix in 2025, it will likely be a late release.
What is the plot of The Crystal Cuckoo?
Netflix has provided a synopsis for The Crystal Cuckoo:
“Clara Merlo, a first-year resident doctor, suffers a fatal heart attack that forces her to undergo a heart transplant. While recovering, she feels the need to meet her donor, which leads her to a small inland town to learn about the life of the young man who gave her his heart. Clara thus delves into a place full of secrets, a mystery that extends over twenty years, and a closed-off town where, on the very day of her arrival, a baby disappears in a public park.”
