Ramón Campos

Ramón Campos, yeah, that guy—born in '75, hailing from Noia, which is up in A Coruña, Galicia. Spain’s got a knack for churning out wild creative minds, and Campos is right there in the thick of it. You might not know his face, but you’ve definitely seen his fingerprints all over some of the juiciest Spanish TV dramas in recent years. I mean, you can’t talk about addictive, binge-worthy series without bringing up “Gran Hotel.” That’s him. He’s the dude who made you lose sleep trying to piece together all those twists and turns in that impossibly glamorous hotel, turning period drama into something way more fun than your average costume snooze-fest. But wait, there’s more—he doubled down on the mystery and intrigue with “Alta Mar.” Think ‘20s ocean liner, secrets at every turn, and more drama than a telenovela marathon. It’s his style: layer after layer of suspense, characters with more baggage than a Ryanair hold, and plots that keep you guessing until like, the last five minutes. And if you thought he’d slow down, nope. “The Asunta Case” in 2024? Just when you think Spanish crime stories have hit their limit, he drops this one—based on a real case, actually, and it’s not for the faint-hearted. Campos doesn’t shy away from dark stuff or complicated stories. He takes real-life tragedy, spins it into must-watch TV, and makes you question everything you thought you knew about people. Bottom line: Ramón Campos is the guy behind the curtain making Spanish television a whole lot more interesting, one wild plot at a time.
