Netflix Announces the Start of Production of 'Los secretos de la cortesana'

Things in this palace don't go slow at all. Netflix has announced the start of production of Los secretos de la cortesana, a series born of the adaptation of the novel of the same name by Estefanía Ruiz, published by Penguin Random House, and defined by the author as "a mix of historical and sensual genre".

The shooting, which will start in July 2025, will take place in multiple palaces and mansions of theCommunity of Madrid and Segovia, as well as at the Netflix Production Center in Tres Cantos. The cast is led by Carla Campra (Holy Family, Dangerous Moms) and Carlos Cuevas (Smiley, El 47), who play Julia and Gonzalo respectively.

In the series, Julia Ponce (Carla Campra), daughter of the court painter, arrives at the royal palace and is captivated by its dazzling atmosphere. There she meets Gonzalo (Carlos Cuevas), the crown prince, who has returned to Spain, forced by the King, to get married. Surrounding the impossible and prohibited relationship between Julia and Gonzalo, intrigues, jealousy and passion are unleashed in a court full of ambitions, deceit and revenge. Parties, clandestine meetings, a secret society of women who conspire for power... And, in the middle of it all, Julia and Gonzalo struggle to live their love.

Created by Carlos de Pando and Sara Antuña, Los secretos de la cortesana, produced by Zeta Studios (Olympo, Élite) for Netflix, is directed by Paco Caballero, Jota Linares and Elena Trapé.
