Daniel Écija, creator of 'Los Serrano', acknowledges the 'disaster' of an idea that the series finale was: 'Today I would not make that decision'

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General6 September 2026 at 17:12

Daniel Écija, creator and producer of 'Los Serrano', publicly acknowledges that the series finale was "a disaster" of an idea. In an interview given through Instagram by Jorge Neila, he stated that today he would not make the same decision about how the fiction ended.

The series 'Los Serrano' is considered one of the most remarkable television productions in the history of Spanish television. Its audience success and the era in which it was broadcast, when television consumption was much more family-oriented, contributed to its finale being etched in viewers' memory.

The series finale was characterized as both controversial and unexpected, which intensified the public's reaction. This negative perception of the ending strongly contrasted with the popularity that the fiction achieved throughout its seasons.

This interview represents a moment of rare sincerity on Écija's part, who showed openness about the mistakes made in conceiving the ending of one of his most recognized works.
