One of the latest Spanish series on Netflix is The Longest Night, a crime drama that only has 6 episodes (which you can finish in the time it takes to watch the last 2 episodes of Stranger Things). Released on July 8, the series follows Simón Lago, who has just been captured for the murder of 20 individuals and put into a Psychiatric Facility. However, it seems the serial killer already knows what’s going to happen next as he says to the prison director Hugo “this will be a very long night.” It turns out he is right. Minutes later, an armed gang shows up demanding to take Lago. Things only turn into a bloodbath after that.
Although the show’s ratings are not positive so far, the performances of its cast members are still praised. Here is a quick look into The Longest Night cast that will give you information about their characters, their previous roles, ages, and even real-life partners.
