Even the smallest encounters in their past create ripples, and that was actually how the original idea for the book came to me. Obviously, Mateo is the main character, but Lorena, Olivia and Teo… all of them get their moments and their arcs, and the one thing they all have in common is that nobody, for better or worse, escapes the past. I actually really like the one Netflix is using, “Nobody escapes the past,” because what you find is that each character gets their moment in this show. Plot details are being kept very secret with this series, so how would you best sum up what the show is about without giving away any spoilers?

Sospecha Films and Think Studio co-produce, with Paulo, the brain behind a mouthwatering catalog of hits including “The Invisible Guest,” “Mirage” and “The Body,” directing.Īhead of its April 30 launch, Coben spoke with Variety about the personal origins of the series’ story, his relationship with Paulo and why his stories work so well abroad. As with each of his Netflix adaptations, Coben is an executive producer on the series. Mateo is played by this year’s Spanish Academy award-winner for best actor Mario Casas (“Cross the Line”), joined by a star-studded ensemble cast including Juana Acosta (“Perfect Strangers”), Aura Garrido (“Stockholm”) and Alexandra Jiménez (“The Distances”). Mateo receives an alarming call while Olivia is away on business which throws his perception of the world around into complete upheaval and ignites a frenetic chase for the truth. Nearly a decade later, the bright lawyer is hard at work trying to run the family firm after his brother’s untimely death, while also re-building his personal life with his wife Olivia. “The Innocent” starts off outside a nightclub with Mateo trying to plays peacekeeper as his friends become embroiled in a bar fight which ends in an accidental homicide.
