Rodrigo Garcia’s first Netflix series, “Santita,” bows on April 22, with exclusive first-look photos— including behind-the-scenes shots with the Emmy-nominated director—unveiled in Variety.
“Santita” follows María José Cano, aka Santita, who after a car accident leaves her wheelchair-bound, ditches the love of her life at the altar. Two decades later, she is forced to confront her past when he unexpectedly reappears. Called Santita (Little Saint) despite her less than virtuous nature, María José’s story unfolds as a wickedly irreverent and unconventional love tale.
