Trivia about Someone Has to Die

It is Caro's first project shot entirely in Spain and also his first work outside of comedy.

Carmen Maura visited Caro and Suárez in February 2019, while they were filming La casa de las flores in Madrid, to talk about this project.

Isaac Hernández, a Mexican dancer considered one of the best in the world, makes his first acting appearance in his career here.

In 2021, the series was chosen to represent Mexico in the miniseries category at the eighth Platino Awards, with 4 nominations.

The series received a nomination at the 2021 GLAAD Media Awards, a recognition that Manolo Caro described as a surprise for the entire team.

Carmen Maura recalled learning to fire a shotgun for a scene in the series, and that sharing the screen with Ester Expósito also meant working alongside Alejandro Speitzer, who was the actress's partner at the time.

La banda sonora fue compuesta por Lucas Vidal, quien explicó que Manolo Caro contactó con él después de que Paco León le recomendara por su trabajo musical.

The production was planned as a three-episode miniseries and was shot in Spain by Noc Noc Cinema, with Fernando Pérez and Monika Revilla as co-writers alongside Manolo Caro.
