After its debut at the Malaga Festival, Movistar Plus+ has revealed the trailer and the premiere date of one of its promising series for this year: ‘Rapa’, created by Pepe Coira and Fran Araújo (‘Iron’) will hit the full platform on May 19.

The first plays Tomás, a literature professor who sees a golden opportunity to participate in the investigation and, perhaps, be able to narrate it literary; the second is Maite, a police sergeant whose only priority is to find the culprit.
The cast of ‘Rapa’ is completed with Lucia Veiga, Eva Fernandez, Toni Salgado, Ricardo Barreiro, Berta Ojea, Jorge BoschSanti Prego, Paula Morado, Adrian Ríos, Iria Sobrado, Tito Asorey, Mabel Rivera, Víctor Mosqueira, Nacho Castaño and Lara Boedo.

Official synopsis of ‘Rapa’
Amparo Seoane, the mayor of Cedeira and the most powerful woman in the area, is assassinated. Investigating the crime will become an obsession for Maite, a civil guard sergeant, and for Tomás, the only witness to the murder. For Maite, looking for the murderer is an obligation, it is his job. For Tomás, who is a professor of Literature at the institute and to whom no one has given vigil at this funeral, it is the opportunity – possibly the last – to live a story like the ones he loves to read, and perhaps thus be able to tell it. Both will open an investigation that will affect the whole town. All of them, in one way or another, were related to Amparo. They all had something to gain or lose by her death.
