Trivia about The Girls at the Back

Netflix announced the series under the title The Girls at the Back, although some media outlets mistakenly called it Las últimas de la fila.

The cast was rounded out by a large ensemble that includes Javier Rey, Macarena García, Michelle Jenner, Carmen Machi, Antonio de la Torre, and Melina Matthews.

The series was produced by José Antonio Félez of Atípica Films for the Netflix platform.

It was filmed along the coast of the province of Cádiz, between Tarifa and Conil, and also in the Community of Madrid.

Daniel Sánchez Arévalo wrote and directed all six episodes, his first series as a writer and director, after twelve years working in television.

Filming took 16 weeks, roughly double the usual time for his feature films, and the director also took part in the writing and post-production.

The crew was made up almost entirely of women, a choice tied to the director's goal of exploring the female world from different perspectives.

The lead actresses did not see the last four pages of the script until three days before shooting the sixth episode, whose ending was filmed on the final day of production.
