Sandra is an auxiliary police officer gifted with high intelligence and photographic memory who returned to her hometown in Cantabria to exert motherhood, leaving a career in an important tech company behind.

Production
Segunda muerte is a Movistar Plus+ original production produced with the collaboration of DLO Producciones. The episodes were written by Agustín Martínez and Isa Sánchez and directed by Álex Rodrigo and Óscar Pedraza. Shooting locations in Cantabria included Liérganes (Valles Pasiegos), but also Torrelavega and Santander.

Release
The first two episodes were made available on Movistar Plus+ on 6 June 2024.

Reception
Pere Solà Gimferrer of La Vanguardia wrote that "Martínez, while remaining faithful to a hackneyed genre, finds ways to mislead the viewer".

Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas gave the series 52 points ('so-so') writing about "a morbid and lazy story" that "works half-heartedly".
