'Valeria' by Elísabet Benavent , one of our favorite sagas, will become a series thanks to Netflix. The author herself announced it on Instagram three months ago. "I was going to wait for eleven o'clock to share it on my networks, but I woke up with 98 messages on my mobile with what … I think it's official. The image speaks for itself but, there it goes: @netflixes will adapt the Saga Valeria. And I'm dying of illusion ", he began to say. And come on, we couldn't be more excited.
Valeria's literary saga has sold more than a million books of her different novels in Spain. In case you don't know her, it tells the story of a writer who is experiencing two crises: one creative and the other with her husband, and seeks help and understanding from her three best friends. And things as they are: what we like most about Benavent's books is that Valeria is like you and everyone else.
Since confirming the news, we have been thinking: Who will give life to Valeria? The author has confessed on occasion that she has never managed to put a face on it but we already (FINALLY) know who will put herself in her shoes. And no, it will not be Blanca Suárez, nor Clara Lago, nor Andrea Duro.
According to the FormulaTV portal, Diana Gómez will play Valeria's skin. Of course, the names of the actresses who will play Carmen, Lola and Nerea, her three best friends, have not yet been revealed. In addition, as confirmed by the portal, "the author will not be part of the scriptwriting team, but will appear as a creative consultant."
We have seen Diana in several successful series such as Countdown, The Secret of the Old Bridge, Red Eagle and La Vía Augusta. Netflix has not yet announced the exact premiere date of the series, but we know that we will have to wait until 2020 to see it.
