The new series Salvador, created by Aitor Gabilondo (Patria, Entrevías) and starring Luis Tosar alongside Claudia Salas, arrives on Netflix on February 6, 2026 with a proposal that combines thriller, family drama, and a reflection on the rise of the far-right in Spain and Europe.
In fiction, Tosar plays Salvador, a father who, after discovering his daughter is part of a neo-Nazi group, delves into that radical environment trying to rescue her, which will confront him with a spiral of violence and personal contradictions. The series, shot in eight episodes and directed by Daniel Calparsoro, shows how ultra groups channel youth discontent and explore "all the subterfuges" they use to transform frustration into hatred and extreme violence.
Tosar himself has pointed out in interviews that Salvador arrives at an especially opportune moment, with discourses that “seemed unusual to us some time ago” reaching greater depth in the population, especially among young people in convulsed sociopolitical contexts. Although it is not presented as a political essay, the fiction invites us to question what social dynamics have allowed certain radical narratives to gain ground and how this affects coexistence and family narratives.
In addition to the central plot, the series raises broader questions about current society, exploring the recruitment and indoctrination of young people into radical groups, and seeking to open space for debate around the causes and consequences of these phenomena. Co-star Claudia Salas has highlighted that the series can “generate debate” and offer a critical look that reaches both those who approach it out of dramatic interest and those who reflect on contemporary social reality.
Salvador premieres on Netflix this Friday, February 6, 2026, positioning itself as one of the most relevant new Spanish fictions of the season due to its thematic focus and its mix of action and social analysis
