Marta Balaga David Pérez Sañudo (“Ane is Missing”) and Carlos Vila Sexto (“Motivos Personales”) are ready for a different kind of hero in “Detective Touré.” A six-episode series, backed by Spanish public broadcaster RTVE, Detective Touré AIE, Tornasol Media, DeAPlaneta and Basque state TV EITB, the series is based on stories by Jon Arretxe. The series first caught attention when selected as a project at Series Mania’s 2022 Co-Pro Pitching Sessions. Sneak-peaked at Content Americas in January, it was one of the highlights at its Spain Content Goldmine.
Set in Bilbao’s neighborhood San Francisco, it sees an immigrant from Guinea – with acute skills of deduction – who becomes immersed in a complex investigation, with the Nigerian mafia on his trail. “We are used to having police officers involved in these kinds of shows, but an illegal immigrant? That’s something we have never seen before, at least in Spain,” says Vila Sexto. “Producers Elena Bort and Mariela Besuievsky were the ones who found Jon’s books and fell in love with the character.
They wanted to tell a detective story, but these stories are only as good as their detectives.” Written by Flora González Villanueva, it’s directed by Esteban Crespo and Violeta Salama. Unax Ugalde, “Money Heist’s” Itziar Ituño, Loreto Mauleón, Itsaso Arana and Urko Olazabal star, with Malcolm Treviño-Sitté tapped as the ever-hopeful lead. “Mahmoud Touré never loses his smile.
That’s what’s most appealing to me: His sense of humor, his positivity towards people and life. He starts the series as a street-level conman, but that’s not who he really is. He is a family man, an honest man, but in the wrong time and the wrong place,” says Vila Sexto.
