Los Angeles, January 11, 2021 – HBO Max has acquired the first season of Spanish language dramedy PERFECT LIFE (Vida Perfecta). The Spanish language series from star, writer, director, and creator Leticia Dolera follows Maria, Cristina and Esther who are in search of their place in the world as they navigate the humiliations and celebrations that come with being a thirty-something millennial. Season one will debut on Thursday, January 21 on HBO Max. Additionally, HBO Max will co-produce an original second season of the series with Movistar+.
Maria, Esther and Cristina are three women in the middle of a life crisis. They have realized that the plans they had made for themselves haven’t really gotten them the long-promised happiness they yearned for. Together, they will find alternatives and make decisions that will lead them away from what society expects from them. They will soon realize that life doesn’t necessarily have to be what they always imagined.
“Vida Perfecta” had its world premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival and was crowned Best Series at the Canneseries Festival, also winning the Special Performance award for its three leads.
“Vida Perfecta” was produced by Movistar+ along with Corte y Confeccion de Peliculas in association with Beta Film, which also handles world sales. A second season has wrapped production in Spain, having been co-produced by HBO Max and debuting on the platform later this year as a Max Original series.
PERFECT LIFE will be featured on HBO Max and can be found on its new International Genre page alongside a curated selection of programming from all around the world. PERFECT LIFE is the latest international program made available to U.S. subscribers and joins Max Originals “4 Blocks” and “Arthur’s Life,” HBO Europe’s “30 Coins,” and classics from the HBO Max library including “City of God,” “Cinema Paradiso” and “Life is Beautiful.”
Trailer
Name: Vida Perfecta
Description: María, Cris and Esther are three very different women beyond 30 who think they are now pretty much the adult person they'll remain for the rest of their lives. They couldn't be more wrong: María was just signing the contract to buy the home for the rest of her life. But the guy she was going to spend that rest of her life and have kids with realizes just then that María was never, ever, going to surprise him again, especially not sexually. What to do? Well, in María's case, you go to your lesbian-artist sister Esther for consolation who has her very own type of "crisis medication". Which can be quite hilarious, when you arrive high as a kite at a little girl's birthday party who happens to be the daughter of your best friend Cris, living her own little, big lie with her hubby Pablo. So when María finds herself getting laid in the kids' bouncy castle with the gentle but simple-minded janitor, and getting pregnant from him, she finally starts letting go and going with the flow.
