The Department of Time

The Ministry of Time is a governmental entity that operates under the strictest secrecy. Subordinate to the Presidency of the Government, few know of its existence. And it is a powerful weapon that, if it fell into the wrong hands, could alter the course of history.

For this reason, only the elite know its location: kings, governors, and privileged monarchs. The transition from one era to another is made through a series of doors that connect different universes. But now, this ministry requires the help of some very special people: Alonso de Entreríos (Nacho Fresneda), Amelia Folch (Aura Garrido), and Julián Martínez (Rodolfo Sancho). With them, everything takes a very different direction.

'El Ministerio del Tiempo' ('The Department of Time') was created by Pablo and Javier Olivares and produced by Onza Partners and RTVE, premiering in Spain in February 2015. To date, it has five seasons and has received praise for its originality, genre blending, and ability to combine history with science fiction and adventure. It has become a cultural phenomenon in Spain, noted for the way it brings Spanish history closer to the general public through dynamic plots and endearing characters.

The main cast includes Nacho Fresneda as Alonso de Entreríos, Aura Garrido as Amelia Folch, Rodolfo Sancho as Julián Martínez, and Cayetana Guillén Cuervo as Irene Larra, the director of the ministry. The historical fidelity of the episodes, combined with narrative twists and adventures through time, made the series resonate with both young and adult audiences.

It has had a lasting impact on Spanish television, inspiring debates about history and culture, generating merchandise and becoming a reference for how to combine entertainment with historical dissemination. Its originality and narrative ambition establish the series as one of the most influential and beloved in the contemporary Spanish television landscape.
