High Seas

High Seas TV Show Synopsis:

In the 40's, the Bárbara de Braganza has just departed for Rio de Janeiro. All its passengers travel with a goal and with more than one mystery. And everyone will suffer the odd swell.

High Seas, an eight-episode mystery-drama series set in the 1940s.

A magnificent transatlantic ship full of passengers, travelling from Europe to South America in search of a better future. Two sisters, Carolina (Alejandra Onieva) and Eva (Ivana Baquero), as different as they are inseparable. A handsome officer, Nicolás Sala (Jon Kortajarena), a man that fate has put in the wrong place. A mystery to be solved: the murder of a passenger whose name does not appear in the passenger list and who no one remembers. Love, intrigues and many lies… in a ship that hides a story in each one of its cabins and a dark secret deep inside. There is only one clear thing: The murderer will not be able to leave the ship.

Neira Daniel Martín Serrano, Curro Novallas and José Antonio Valverde, the series will be directed by Carlos Sedes who will be also Executive Producer with Teresa Fernández-Valdés and Ramón Campos that continue their successful career as Executive Producers after acclaimed and successful shows Las chicas del cable ((just released its third season in Netflix) or Fariña.
