Grande de España, the comedy starring Antonio de la Torre and Alexandra Jiménez, has repeated at the top of Netflix Spain’s series list for the week of October 26 to November 1, 2026. The fourth installment of Lupin, with Omar Sy, occupies the second position, despite both titles arriving on the platform on the same Friday, October 23.
Netflix’s territorial ranking yields a notable fact: the Spanish fiction has logged two weeks at number one since its premiere. It had already led the list for October 19–25, and in the following week it maintained the lead while the new installment of the French franchise climbed to second place.
The contrast is intriguing because these are two bets with very different registers. Lupin brings back a character known worldwide and offers eight episodes of intrigue and heists. Grande de España proposes six episodes of dramedy centered on a Madrid aristocrat striving to maintain appearances when his finances can no longer support them.
A Moneyless Marquis Faces an International Thief
Antonio de la Torre plays Leandro, a ruined marquis who plans to put his family mansion on the market; Alexandra Jiménez embodies Sofía Carrington, a businesswoman whose interest in the property triggers a negotiation laden with secrets. The clash between a noble title without patrimony and a fortune that does not depend on illustrious surnames sustains the satire of appearances.
Álvaro Fernández-Armero and Juan Cavestany, who collaborated previously on Vergüenza and Sentimos las molestias, conceived this series. Across its six episodes they turn a real estate transaction into a tale of status, ambitions, and deceits, with the family home standing as a symbol of a grandeur its owner can no longer afford.
The comparison takes on another dimension when recalling that Lupin returned with eight episodes after a long wait. A Spanish comedy released at the same time has managed to keep the national top spot for two consecutive weeks. It is not merely a strong debut weekend.
A Spanish Ranking Against Lupin’s Global Success
The position of Grande de España refers to the weekly Spain-series ranking, not Netflix’s global chart. In the international market, Lupin’s fourth installment also appears among major non-English releases. The real story lies in the differing behavior of the same week when viewing consumption from Spain.
In the Spanish Top 10, other parts of Lupin even appear, driven by Omar Sy’s return. This concentration makes the performance of Fernández-Armero and Cavestany’s fiction a singular comparison: it remains at the top during a week when the French franchise occupies several positions.
Grande de España is available in full on Netflix, with six episodes. Its stay at the summit during its first two weeks provides a concrete indication of the ability of a Spanish comedy, with a different scale and tone, to compete for attention with one of autumn’s international releases.
