Summary

Tired of hunting for Spanish-language shows across five different apps? We rounded up the best series in Spanish to watch right now, grouped by country, from Spanish period dramas to Colombian crime sagas to Turkish romances. Here is what to watch and where to stream it, all in one Spanish-first place.

The best series in Spanish right now come from Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, the Dominican Republic, and Turkey, and you can stream them together on FlixLatino, a Spanish-first app built around shows made in Spanish, not dubbed into it.

If your watchlist dried up after Money Heist, the fix is easy. The appetite for great Spanish drama was never the problem. The problem is that on giant apps like Netflix and Hulu, originally-in-Spanish shows are a thin slice buried under dubbed Hollywood, split across services and impossible to filter. This is the shortcut.

What makes a great series in Spanish worth streaming

Here is the thing about Spanish series: the demand was never in doubt. Global hits proved it. A whole generation got hooked on the crew that robbed the Royal Mint of Spain under the Professor in La Casa de Papel (Money Heist), then binged Narcos, Elite, and every Spanish Netflix series the algorithm served up.

The catch is that those titles are scattered across platforms, and plenty are dubbed. What makes a show really sing is hearing it the way it was written, with the accents, the slang, and the humor intact. That is the whole idea behind a Spanish-first app: period drama, telenovela, romance, comedy, and crime drama, all originally in Spanish, in one place. Start from our top TV series in Spanish and never touch a dubbed track again.

The best Spanish series from Spain

Spain punches far above its weight in prestige TV. These three Spanish series from Spain mix genres so there is something for every mood. All of these are included in your premium subscription:

El Barco

A training ship sets out on a routine voyage, then a global catastrophe cuts it off from the world and the crew starts to suspect they may be the last people alive. Part survival thriller, part mystery, part slow-burn romance, El Barco keeps you guessing about who to trust on board. It is the kind of show you start on a Sunday and finish by Wednesday.

▶ Start streaming: El Barco

Isabel

Long before every platform had a glossy period drama, Spanish television was already doing them beautifully. Isabel follows the rise of Isabel I of Castile, from an overlooked princess to one of the most powerful queens in European history, through palace intrigue, forced alliances, and a court full of people who want her gone. If you like your history with real stakes and gorgeous costumes, this is your next binge.

▶ Press play on: Isabel

Detective Touré

Who says you need a badge to solve a crime? Touré works Bilbao's underworld on charisma and street smarts alone, cracking the kind of complex cases the official channels keep missing. It is a crime series with real intrigue and a surprising amount of heart, and it slips in sharp social commentary without ever slowing the mystery down. A fresh, character-first take on the genre that is easy to fall for.

▶ Watch now: Detective Touré

Must-watch series from Mexico and Colombia

These two catalogs are the heart of Latin American TV, and origin still matters here. People who identify with a specific country tend to reach for its shows first, so we mixed a crime saga, a narco drama, and a musical biography. For more, our series from Mexico and top Colombian titles pages are the fastest way to find home. Stream these and more, all included in your premium subscription:

Sobreviviendo a Escobar: Alias JJ

If Narcos left you wanting the story from the inside, this is it. Told through the eyes of Jhon Jairo Velásquez, alias JJ, once Pablo Escobar's most feared hitman, the series follows the cartel from within the sicario ranks and then what happens to the men left behind after the boss is gone. It is a tense, morally messy crime drama that never glamorizes the violence.

▶ Start the series: Alias JJ

Camelia La Texana

Long before La Reina del Sur, there was Camelia. Based on the legendary norteño corrido "Contrabando y traición," this Mexican series traces the origins of the narcos trade in the 1970s through a beautiful, dangerous woman who learns fast that love and loyalty do not survive that world. If you are drawn to narco stories with a strong female lead, start here.

▶ Stream tonight: Camelia La Texana

Hasta que te Conocí

If you devoured the famous Luis Miguel bio-series, here is the Mexican music icon it pairs with. Hasta Que Te Conocí dramatizes the life of Juan Gabriel, from a hard childhood to becoming one of the most beloved songwriters in Latin American history. It plays like a telenovela with a soundtrack you already know by heart.

▶ Watch now: Hasta que te Conocí

Turkish series in Spanish you can binge

Turkish drama is one of the most-loved corners of the FlixLatino catalog, and one most mainstream apps barely touch. A quick note before you dive in: unlike the rest of the library, these come dubbed into Spanish, so you are not stuck toggling a Spanish translation or a subtitle menu to follow along. Browse them all on the Turkish series in Spanish hub, or dig deeper in our best Turkish series roundup. Best of all, these are all included in your premium subscription:

¿Qué Culpa Tiene Fatmagül?

This is the one that made Turkish drama a household name across Latin America. After a life-shattering injustice, Fatmagül refuses to stay a victim and fights for her own justice, one gripping episode at a time. It is long, it is emotional, and once you are in, you are in for the whole ride.

▶ Start the series: Fatmagül

Love for Rent

A young woman takes a job posing as the live-in tenant of a wealthy, buttoned-up businessman, and of course she falls for him. Love for Rent (Kiralık Aşk) is a light, funny will-they-won't-they romantic comedy that is perfect when you want something warm and low-stakes. Think of it as comfort food you can watch for weeks.

▶ Press play on: Love for Rent

Amor Prohibido

Based on a classic Turkish novel, Amor Prohibido (Aşk-ı Memnu) is the original forbidden-love story: a young woman marries into a wealthy family and falls for the one man she absolutely should not. Beautiful, tragic, and impossible to switch off, it is the blueprint every Turkish romance since has tried to copy.

▶ Stream tonight: Amor Prohibido

Browsing by mood instead of by map? A couple more picks worth your queue.

Juana la Virgen

You know the American hit Jane the Virgin. This is the original: the 2002 Venezuelan telenovela that started it all, about a devout young woman whose life turns upside down after an accidental artificial insemination. It is soapy, funny, and surprisingly tender, exactly the kind of la serie that reminds you why the genre never goes out of style.

▶ Watch now: Juana la Virgen

In the mood to laugh? Spanish comedy has its own warmth, closer to a family sitcom like Modern Family than a laugh-track machine, and titles like Nasdrovia bring that easy humor. Craving a twisty murder mystery or another crime drama? The Spanish and Argentina catalogs are full of them. 

And if your gateway to Spanish TV was a hit like The House of Flowers (La Casa de las Flores), Cable Girls (Las Chicas del Cable), Ingobernable, Monarca, or Who Killed Sara, think of these as the next chapter, made in Spanish from the start.

Where to watch series in Spanish

Here’s the easy part. Every show above is available on FlixLatino, a streaming service built for people who want to enjoy Spanish-language content without the hassle of searching across multiple platforms.

Many of these titles are exclusive in the US, making FlixLatino one of the few places to watch them. Explore the full catalog to discover series from your country or find your next favorite from across Latin America and Spain.
