The streaming giant recently released the official trailer, offering viewers a chilling glimpse into a story that unravels the dark secrets behind a seemingly perfect marriage.
Based on a Shocking Real-Life Case
A Widow’s Game is inspired by the infamous “Black Widow of Patraix” case that captivated Spain in 2017. The film dramatizes the events surrounding the murder of Antonio Navarro, who was found stabbed to death in a parking garage in Valencia. Initially perceived as a crime of passion, the investigation took a startling turn when suspicion fell upon his wife, María Jesús Moreno Cantó, known as Maje. The ensuing inquiry revealed a web of deceit, manipulation, and betrayal that shocked the nation.
Stellar Cast and Creative Team
The film stars Ivana Baquero (Pan’s Labyrinth, High Seas) as Maje, delivering a nuanced performance that captures the character’s complexity. Carmen Machi (Criminal, Honeymoon with My Mother) portrays Eva, the seasoned detective leading the investigation. The ensemble cast also includes Joel Sánchez, Álex Gadea, Pablo Molinero, Pepe Ocio, Ramón Ródenas, Amparo Fernández, and Miquel Mars.
Directed by Carlos Sedes (Now and Then, Fariña), the film is produced by Bambú Producciones, the acclaimed studio behind The Asunta Case and The Alcàsser Murders. The screenplay is penned by the same writing team responsible for The Asunta Case, ensuring a gripping narrative that delves deep into the psychological aspects of the crime.
A Psychological Thriller That Delves Deep
A Widow’s Game is more than a crime story; it’s a psychological exploration of a woman whose outward appearance masks a sinister reality.
The official trailer sets the tone for this intense narrative, showcasing Baquero’s compelling portrayal of Maje and the unraveling of the investigation that exposes the truth behind the murder. The film’s atmospheric cinematography and haunting score further enhance the suspense, making it a must-watch for fans of true-crime dramas.
Global Release on Netflix
A Widow’s Game will be available for streaming exclusively on Netflix starting May 30, 2025. With its international release, the film is poised to captivate audiences worldwide, offering a chilling reminder that sometimes, the most dangerous individuals are those who seem the most innocent.
