‘Celeste’ Creator Diego San José, Director Elena Trapé on Turning a Tax Inspector Into ‘Dirty Harry’
After turning Spain’s tax agency into the unlikely engine of a noir-tinged comedy, “Celeste” creator Diego San José and director Elena Trapé are taking aim at something far more sacred in Spain: soccer. The six-part second season of the Movistar Plus original brings Carmen Machi
The news of Diego San José and Elena Trapé working on a new season of "Celeste" is exciting for audiences in Serbia and beyond, as it brings a unique blend of dark comedy and social commentary to the small screen. The fact that they are tackling a sensitive topic like soccer in Spain, a country where the sport is deeply ingrained in the culture, is a bold move that could pay off in terms of viewership and critical acclaim. The involvement of Carmen Machi, a well-known Spanish actress, adds to the anticipation surrounding the new season.
The decision to use a tax inspector as the protagonist in the first season was a clever move, as it allowed the creators to poke fun at the bureaucracy and red tape that is often associated with government agencies. By taking on soccer in the second season, San José and Trapé are likely to spark interesting discussions and debates among audiences, particularly in Spain where soccer is a national obsession. The fact that they are using a noir-tinged comedy approach to tackle this topic suggests that they are not afraid to push boundaries and challenge societal norms.
As the new season of "Celeste" prepares to launch, it will be interesting to see how audiences in Serbia and other countries respond to the show's unique blend of humor and social commentary. The success of the show could also pave the way for more innovative and daring storytelling in the world of television, as creators and directors become more willing to take risks and push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable. With the involvement of talented creators like San José and Trapé, and the backing of a major platform like Movistar Plus, the second season of "Celeste" is definitely one to watch in the coming months.
