EL MINISTERIO DEL TIEMPO - SERIES 2, EPISODE 1: TIEMPO DE LEYENDA (LA 1)

[Spoiler-Free "mini review"] Sci-fi TV series El Ministerio del Tiempo, one of our favourite Spanish dramas of 2015 (if you followed us on social networks you know how much we like it), returned tonight on TVE's main channel La 1.

Created by Pablo Olivares & Javier Olivares (Victor Ros, Isabel) and directed by Marc Vigil, El Ministerio del Tiempo is about a secret Spanish government institution called The Ministry of Time. Its mission is to prevent anyone from altering the past. The premiere of this second series (13X70-minute episodes) really starts after a  long "Story So Far" sequence but the episode, centered on El Cid, undoubtedly worths the wait. Someone films a fight in 1079's Valencia. The status of a regular character is reassessed, with a radical consequence for the team.

Starring Rodolfo Sancho (Julián Martínez), Aura Garrido (Amelia Folch), Nacho Fresneda (Alonso de Entrerríos), Cayetana Guillén Cuervo (Irene Larra), Juan Gea (Ernesto Jiménez), Francesca Piñón (Angustias Vázquez) and Jaime Blanch (Salvador Martí).  Ramón Langa (Ambrosio Spínola) and Julián Villagrán (Diego Velázquez) are amongst the guest stars.

Produced by Cliffhanger TV, Onza Entertainment and RTVE. María Roy & Maite L. Pisonero (TVE), José María Irisarri & Gonzalo Sagardía (Onza Entertainment) and Javier Olivares (Cliffhanger TV) exec produce. Anaïs Schaff and Abigail Schaff are the content coordinators for Cliffhanger TV. Music composed by Dario González Valderrama. El Ministerio del Tiempo is distributed by Onza Distribution.
