Although Netflix only launched in Spain in October 2015, the streaming service has announced its first ever original series filmed in the country, which will be available internationally.

The Spanish-language drama will be set in the 1920s and focus on four women from very different backgrounds who work as switchboard operators at Spain’s only television company in Madrid.

The show, which is currently untitled, will offer an insight into the changing technological and social landscape of that time in a region that is often underexplored in global television.

The multi-award-winning comedy will head to sunny Spain in its first series since leaving BBC Two.

Steve and Rob will continue on their culinary travels as they drive from the North Atlantic to the Mediterranean.

Filming later this year, the show will see the comedy duo chow down in six Spanish locales, from Cantabria to the Basque region, as well as Aragon, Rioja, Castile-La Mancha and Andalusia.
