The series follows a love triangle story gone wrong where mystery arises when the remains of a murdered police officer are discovered. Following that, the matter becomes of great public interest as a network of toxic relationships, violence, deceit, and sexual exploits involving the victim and two officers gets revealed.

One of the officers is the deceased’s wife while the other is her lover. As the narrative unfolds, we encounter the heated relationships of the deceased and his potential killers.

Is Burning Body about a real person?

Yes, Burning Body is about a real person named Pedro Rodríguez, a Guardia officer.

His murder happened in 2017. Following that, his wife Rosa, and her lover at the time, Albert López, were taken to court in 2020. Burning Body brings those events to life while playing out as a murder mystery limited series.

It stars José Manuel Poga as Pedro, Úrsula Corberó from Money Heist as his wife Rosa, and Quim Gutiérrez as her lover Albert López.

“When a police officer is murdered and set on fire, all eyes focus on two other agents: his girlfriend and her lover. Inspired by true events.”
