Netflix has debuted the Las Muertas Netflix trailer, giving viewers the first look at its upcoming Spanish-language crime drama.
The limited series, based on Jorge Ibargüengoitia’s novel Las Muertas, premieres worldwide on September 10, 2025.
Set in 1960s Mexico, the series fictionalizes the rise and fall of the Baladro sisters, Arcángela and Serafina, who transformed their network of brothels into a criminal empire. Their story would go on to secure their place in history as two of the country’s most feared serial killers.

A Dark Chapter in Mexico’s History
Unlike traditional crime thrillers, Las Muertas doesn’t just dramatize a case file. It explores the blend of power, corruption, and brutality that allowed the Baladro sisters to thrive in plain sight. Through the eyes of Ibargüengoitia’s novel and director Luis Estrada’s vision, the series examines how unchecked ambition and systemic failures created the perfect storm for their rise.
This mix of historical fiction and psychological tension positions Las Muertas as one of Netflix’s most daring dramas of the year.
The Creative Team
At the helm is acclaimed Mexican director Luis Estrada, known for political and socially charged films such as La Ley de Herodes. Estrada not only directs but also co-wrote the adaptation with Jaime Sampietro, alongside contributions from Rodrigo Santos.
The project is produced by Estrada and Sandra Solares under Bandidos Films and Jaibol Films, continuing Netflix’s growing investment in original Mexican content.
Cast of Las Muertas
The series boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast, with performances expected to anchor its mix of suspense and period authenticity:
- Paulina Gaitán (Narcos)
- Arcelia Ramírez (Prayers for the Stolen)
- Joaquín Cosío (Narcos: Mexico, The Suicide Squad)
- Alfonso Herrera (Ozark, Sense8)
- Mauricio Isaac (Club de Cuervos)
- Leticia Huijara (La Ley de Herodes)
- Enrique Arreola (The House of Flowers)
- Fernando Bonilla (Narcos: Mexico)
This mix of rising stars and acclaimed veterans ensures that the drama remains anchored by strong performances while appealing to a wide international audience.
Why Las Muertas Stands Out
Netflix has successfully expanded its catalog of crime dramas, from Narcos to Monarca. Las Muertas enters this lineup with a uniquely Mexican perspective, blending literary prestige with gritty storytelling.
The series not only dramatizes one of the country’s darkest true-crime sagas but also invites global audiences to reflect on themes of corruption, gender, and power. The Las Muertas Netflix trailer teases a series that is visually bold, narratively sharp, and unflinching in its approach.
Release Date
Mark your calendars: Las Muertas premieres September 10, 2025, on Netflix. The Las Muertas Netflix trailer is available to stream now, offering the first glimpse into this haunting new series.
