Movistar Plus+ will launch the original series *Yo siempre a veces* on April 23, releasing all six episodes at once on the platform.

Created by Marta Bassols and Marta Loza, the production comes from Suma Content, the company founded by Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi. Directors include Claudia Costafreda, Ginesta Guindal and Marta Loza herself. Filming took place in various locations across Barcelona and Berlin.

The comedy-drama offers a raw generational portrait of navigating one's thirties amid economic instability and societal pressures, particularly the challenges of raising a child. It follows Laura, played by Ana Boga, who becomes pregnant shortly after meeting Rubén, portrayed by David Menéndez. Six months after their son Mario's birth, the couple has split acrimoniously, leaving Laura to handle most parenting duties alone.

Despite the struggles, she pushes forward with resolve, wit and boundless energy, while confronting her own vulnerabilities. The story dismantles ideals of the perfect family and relationship, highlighting contradictions faced by a new generation of women embracing solo motherhood.

Marta Loza described the series as delivering "an intimate and realistic portrait of the contemporary woman." Bassols, who drew from her own experiences as a single mother during writing, filming and production, noted that Laura's journey echoes universal struggles: "Even though it has much of us, this story is universal."

The cast also features Paco Tous, Belén Ponce de León, María de Medeiros, Diane Guerrero, Neus Asensi, Juani Ruiz and Jordi Vilches.
