A joint Spanish–Colombian co-production, Karabudjan was produced by Notro TV and Dynamo Producciones. Written by Carlos de Pando, Jon Sagalá and Jacobo Bergareche, four episodes were directed by Koldo Serra and two by Felipe Martínez Amador. It was shot on natural locations in Colombia (the bulk of the production, including footage for the Senegalese and Spanish fictional settings) and Spain.

The first episode premiered on Antena 3 on 6 April 2010, earning 2,592,000 viewers and a 14.2% audience share. Following a drop in the viewership figures and pending the airing of the two last episodes, Antena 3 decided to program the broadcasting of the remaining two episodes on a back-to-back basis for 4 May 2010, which earned a combined average of 1,636,000 viewers and a 11.1% share.
