Someone Has to Die (Season 1)

Someone Has to Die (Alguien tiene que morir, 2020) is a Spanish limited series you can watch online on iFILM. The setting: Franco-era Spain in the mid-1950s, where a family's name matters more than any single life.

Wealthy parents Gregorio and Mina call their son Gabino back from Mexico to meet the bride they've picked for him. He shows up with someone else entirely — Lázaro, a Mexican ballet dancer. The mere hint of what's between them sets off a quiet campaign of cruelty among relatives, neighbors and high society. Across three episodes, the noose tightens on everyone.

Director Manolo Caro (The House of Flowers) keeps the dread slow and elegant. The cast pulls in Ernesto Alterio, screen icon Carmen Maura, Carlos Cuevas and Elite's Ester Expósito. It's a sharp look at how fear of gossip turns loved ones into executioners. Stream Someone Has to Die online on iFILM.
