‘Maricón perdido’ starts filming in Barcelona

10/26/2020

New TNT series

Created by Bob Pop, this television series is fiction loosely inspired by the life of the writer himself. The production has already started filming in our city. The protagonist is a small-town boy who tries to find his own identity throughout his life. We'll see him in the eighties when he's an overweight teenager who likes musicals. We see him too in the period of discovery during his time as a student in Madrid. And finally, in the present, when he became a writer.

Candela Peña and Carlos Bardem play the protagonist's parents, with whom he has a conflictive relationship, Miguel Rellán will be his grandfather, and Alba Flores his best friend at the University. Gabriel Sánchez will play 13-year-old Bob, and Carlos González will play him at twenty and thirty. Both make their debut in front of the cameras. Also, Bob Pop himself will play himself in the present. Alejandro Marín is the director of the six episodes. Produced by El Terrat, the series will premiere on TNT in 2021.
