Gigantes is a Spanish crime drama television series. Created by Miguel Barros, Michel Gaztambide and Enrique Urbizu for Movistar+ based on the original idea by Manuel Gancedo and starring Isak Férriz, Daniel Grao and Carlos Librado, the fiction follows the history of the Guerrero, a family based in Lavapiés controlling an extensive criminal network. The two seasons of the series aired in October 2018 and March 2019, respectively. It has been described as a "story about moral corruption, the dissolution of the family and the extinction of masculinity". [1]
