🐍🪜SNAKES AND LADDERS S1 comes to Netflix, May 14 🐍🪜

From the creator of The House of Flowers, Manolo Caro and Cecilia Suárez return with Snakes and Ladders - a dark and provocative comedy that explores the cost of power and status.

"Snakes and Ladders is a project I've been developing for several years now. It's a dark, sexy, and inappropriate comedy. In short, it's a return to the genre that makes me the happiest, but with the learning experience from my latest projects. It's crazy," says the director, Manolo Caro.

ABOUT THE SERIES | In this story, filmed in Guadalajara and directed by Manolo Caro, Cecilia Suárez will breathe life into Dora, the seemingly insignificant prefect of a prestigious school who finds herself caught up in a quarrel between two 8-year-old students. What would appear to be an irrelevant incident threatens to jeopardise her lifelong dream of becoming school principal. Her seemingly unbreakable code of ethics will be put to the test as the conflict between these two powerful families drags her into temptations she has never faced before. Chocolate, drugs, tarot, and karaoke add spice to this black comedy, where even the smallest decision can change everything.
