Its excellent season 2 has been a complete success and Movistar Plus+ is already preparing new episodes: ‘La Unidad’, the magnificent thriller starring a team specialized in anti-terrorist operations will return soon with its season 3.
Having left the series in style, we are going to review everything we know about the new round that the tandem formed by Dani de la Torre and Alberto Marini.
The history
After managing to neutralize the great threat of season 2, part of the team led by Carla Torres is in Afghanistan. His goal is to meet an infiltrator who has information about a possible attack in Spain. However, the visit coincides with the takeover of Kabul by the Talibanwhich will complicate everything.
Thus, the agents are caught between a rock and a hard place in a country that has become a powder keg with continuous clashes between ISIS K, the Taliban and the Mujahideen. In the words of Alberto Marini, the idea is not to repeat the formula:
“Just as it happened with the second season, our intention now is to avoid repeating the formula and changing the recipe. We move to Afghanistan in August 2021, at the convulsive moment of the Taliban’s takeover, where Carla Torres fights her own personal battle to achieve what seems impossible: to reunite what remains of the Unity that has been irretrievably left. torn and cracked after the events of the previous season“.
On the other hand, Dani de la Torre, co-creator and director, comments:
“The eviction of Kabul and the arrival of the Taliban has been something that has moved us, it was a defeat for all humanity that has hit women and children especially. Now nobody talks about what happened and how important that defeat is and continues to be. That is why we have decided that La Unidad travel to Afghanistan and live with them up close everything that happened and continues to happen there. We have to make it visible that, as long as fundamental rights are not respected in a country, If all the other countries give up, we have failed.”
The cast
From Movistar Plus + they have been somewhat cautious when announcing the distribution. In the note on season 3 they highlight the participation of Nathalie Poza as Carla Torres, Marian Alvarez as Agent Miriam and michel noher like Marcos, the head of the Unit.
However, it also seems quite possible that we will meet some faces from season 2, including Raul Fernandez de Pablo, Carlos Blanco (who despite his character’s retirement had a prominent role), Alba Bersabé, Fariba Sheikhan, Fran Cantos and Aroa Rodríguez.
The filming
On the other hand, the creative team of the series repeats. So together with Dani de la Torre and Alberto Marini at the head of ‘La Unidad’, we can assume that the writers’ room will be completed with Amèlia Mora, Alfred Pérez-Farga and Roger Danès.
The filming will start this same 2022 in various locations. Of course, no specific dates have yet been given for it.
the premiere date
It is not unreasonable, therefore, to think that Movistar Plus+ will premiere season 3 of ‘La Unidad’ sometime in 2023. Everything will depend on the final shooting dates. Of course, everything indicates that, on this occasion, it will not be in the first quarter of next year but later.
The trailer and images
At the moment no trailer or images of season 3 of ‘The Unit’ have been published.
