Sinopsis
'Los protegidos' is a Spanish series produced by Globomedia and aired on Antena 3 between 2010 and 2012, which has three seasons and a total of 42 episodes. It became a phenomenon in Spanish television for combining genres such as family drama, science fiction, and adventure, as well as exploring themes like acceptance of the different, friendship, and unity in the face of adversity.
Its success led to a movie, 'Los Protegidos: El regreso (2021)', which revisited the characters years later, and numerous accolades for its originality and fresh approach for a young and family audience.
The story begins when Blanca is kidnapped in the middle of the night, triggering her mother, Jimena (Ana Fernández), into a desperate search. During this process, Jimena meets Mario (Antonio Garrido), a widowed father who discovers that his son Carlitos (Prado García) has telekinetic powers, capable of moving objects with his mind.
Soon, Mario and Jimena will take in other young people with special abilities: Culebra (Juanjo Artero), who can become invisible; Sandra (Ana Torrent), whose skin generates electric shocks; and Lucía (Júlia Ruiz), a girl who can read others' minds. Together they form an improvised family, forced to hide their powers and live in secret on the outskirts of the city.
The main cast combines veterans and young talents who brought this particular “family” to life: Antonio Garrido, Ana Fernández, Juanjo Artero, Ana Torrent, Prado García, and Júlia Ruiz, among others. The series stands out for its ability to balance moments of tension and action with moments of humor and emotion, which makes the characters connect with the audience and turns it into a reference for Spanish family fiction of the 2010s.
