Netflix has released the first trailer for The Marked Woman, the upcoming mystery thriller starring Candela Peña, Ana Rujas and Pol López. Alongside the trailer, the streamer has also shared new posters and images from the film ahead of its global premiere on 5 June.
Directed by Gabe Ibáñez and written by Lara Sendim, the film follows detective Anna Ripoll, played by Peña, after a woman is discovered bound and gagged inside a shipping container at the Port of Barcelona with no memory of who she is or how she got there. The cast also includes Manolo Solo, Luka Peros and Kira Miró.
As Anna teams up with officer Quique Zárate, played by López, the investigation quickly becomes a race against time to uncover the woman’s identity and the secrets buried within her fractured memory. Rujas stars as the mysterious woman at the centre of the case.
The Marked Woman is adapted from the novel by Rosa Montero and Olivier Truc. The film is produced by K&S Films, the company behind The Eternaut and the Oscar-nominated Wild Tales. K&S Films has built a strong reputation across the Ibero-American film and television industry, producing acclaimed titles including The Clan, The Angel and Division Palermo, which won the International Emmy for Best Comedy.
The trailer for The Marked Woman looks tense from the start, building a mystery around Anna’s investigation and the unidentified woman at the centre of it. Between the port setting, shadowy corridors and the sight of her taking on a man while still in a hospital gown, the footage suggests there is more to this woman than her lost memory. There is also a strong psychological edge, with the sense that she has forgotten something crucial about herself, and that uncovering the truth could be just as dangerous as the crime itself.
For CultureCues, the trailer has definitely piqued our interest. The Barcelona setting already gives the film a distinct visual identity, while the mystery around who this woman is, what happened to her and what she may have forgotten gives The Marked Woman a classic suspense-thriller hook. For fans of crime dramas, this already feels like one to add to the Netflix watchlist.
The Marked Woman premieres globally on Netflix on 5 June. Watch the trailer below.
