Production

The series is an adaptation of the theatrical play Smiley written by Guillem Clua, which was performed onstage by Albert Triola and Ramon Pujol.[2] Production company Minoria Absoluta pleaded for the series to be fully shot in Catalan, but it was shot in Spanish with the subplot involving Eduardo Lloveras and Ruth Llopis using Catalan and the actors dubbing their own voices in the Catalan dub version.[3] The episodes were directed by David Martín Porras and Marta Pahissa.[4]

In April 2023, Clua confirmed that a second season of the show would not be filmed.[5]
