“The best trait of an investigative reporter is tenacity.”

So begins the trailer for The Snow Girl (La Chica de Nieve), a new Spanish-language thriller mini-series coming to Netflix. Based on the Javier Castillo novel of the same name, the series opens in Malaga, Spain, in 2010 during the Three Wise Men parade.

“The most magical moment of the year turns into a nightmare for the Martín family when their daughter Amaya disappears in the crowd. Miren (Milena Smit), a trainee journalist, begins an investigation parallel to that of Inspector Millán (Aixa Villagrán) that will awaken aspects of her past that she would have liked to forget. With the help of her journalist colleague Eduardo (José Coronado), Miren will not stop until she finds the girl. Where is Amaya Martín?” according to the official synopsis.

“The only way to uncover the truth is to face her own demons,” the description continues.

The Snow Girl also stars Tristán Ulloa, Loreto Mauleón, Julián Villagrán, Raúl Prietom and Javier Castillo and is written by Jesús Mesas and Javier Andrés Roig. David Ulloa and Laura Alvea directed. The series was shot in Spain between Malaga and Madrid.
