Santa Evita

After Eva Perón’s death in 1952, her corpse is held for three years awaiting the construction of a mausoleum — a resting place that would never be built. In 1955, the military seized control of Argentina and hid Perón’s body from the public, fearing that it would unite the country against them. But they never imagined that in doing so she would become more dangerous in death than she was in life.

Directed by Rodrigo García, Alejandro Maci, Santa Evita leans on a strong ensemble — Natalia Oreiro, Ernesto Alterio, Diego Velázquez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.
