If more than 40 series premiered in Spain in 2022 (new seasons excluded), it would not be surprising if a new television production record were set that year. The list below features 25 titles set to debut in the coming months, just a selection of those already slated for this year on channels and platforms. Three Spanish series have already seen the light of day in the first days of the year, the daily newspaper La Promesa (La 1), Escándalo, relato de una obsesión (Telecinco) and Cristo y Rey (Atresplayer Premium). We also left out returners announced for this year, including Cardo, Supernormal, La Unidad, HIT, La caza, 30 monedas, El internado: Las Cumbres, Operación Marea Negra, Valeria, Bienvenidos a Eden, Elite, El Inmortal and Entrevías Others.
