Isabel is a Spanish historical fiction television series, directed by Jordi Frades and produced by Diagonal TV for Televisión Española. The series is based upon the reign of Queen Isabella I of Castile.[1] It was broadcast on La 1 of Televisión Española from 2012 to 2014.

Production

The project for the Isabel's biopic was first tasked by Televisión Española (TVE) to Isla Producciones, but TVE did not find the screenplay satisfactory.[2] The series was then commissioned to Diagonal TV, with a writing team formed by Javier Olivares, Jordi Calafí and Anaïs Schaaff.[2] Filming began in Summer 2011 and took place in several Spanish cities: Cáceres, Madrid and Segovia. The first season premiered on 10 September 2012, after an eight-month delay. The series was initially expected to debut on 30 January 2012, but a budget cut for TVE postponed the premiere.[3]

In November 2012, the show was renewed for a second season. After disagreements with Diagonal TV early in the production of season 1, series creator's Javier Olivares determined not to return for the next season.[4] Filming of the second season began in February 2013.[5] Part of the shooting took place on location at the Alhambra in Granada.[6] TVE approved the third season in July 2013 before the second season premiered.[7]

Synopsis

This series is a biography about Isabella, Queen of Castile. The first season chronicles the period between 1461 and 1474: from the end of her childhood to her marriage with Ferdinand of Aragon and her difficult arrival to the Crown.[8]

The second season chronicles the period between 1474 and 1492: from her crowning to the conquest of Granada and the beginning of the journey of Christopher Columbus.[5]

The third series covers the marriages of Joanna and Philip and Juan and Margaret, the subsequent deaths of Isabella's children Juan and Isabel as well as the latter's son Miguel along with the marriages of Catherine of Aragon and Maria of Aragon.
