A Widow's Game premieres on Netflix on May 30

Netflix unveiled today the premiere date, first look and teaser of its new original film A Widow's Game, directed by Carlos Sedes and starring Ivana Baquero, Carmen Machi and Tristán Ulloa. The film, based on a true crime, will premiere globally on Netflix on May 30.

Produced by Bambú Producciones (Fariña, The Alcàsser Murders) and written by the same writers as The Asunta Case, the film it's based on the case known as "the black widow of Patraix": on August 2017 the body of a man, stabbed seven times, appears in a parking lot in Valencia. Everything points to a crime of passion. The Homicide Group of the city, with a veteran inspector at the head, starts an investigation against the clock that soon leads them to a suspect that no one expected: Maje, the young widow, sweet and serene, who had been married to the victim for less than a year.

Directed by Carlos Sedes and with Ramón Campos as the executive producer, A Widow's Game stars Ivana Baquero (Pan's Labyrinth, High Seas) as María Jesús Moreno Cantó, better known as Maje, Carmen Machi (Celeste, Honeymoon with My Mother, Criminal) as Eva, the case inspector, and Tristán Ulloa (The Asunta Case, Berlin) as Salva. The cast also includes Joel Sánchez, Álex Gadea, Pablo Molinero, Pepe Ocio, Ramón Ródenas, Amparo Fernández and Miquel Mars, among others.
