Nine years after the closure of the Zurbarán institute, a large part of the group of friends meet again at a very important event: Yoli's wedding.

Production and release

Física o Química: El reencuentro was produced by Atresmedia TV in collaboration with Buendía Estudios, with the participation of Boomerang TV.[9] Writing duties were tasked to Carlos García Miranda, whereas the two episodes were directed by Juanma Pachón.[9] Filming of the two episodes began on 7 September 2020 and had already wrapped by the end of the month.[10][11]

Some notable characters from the original series who failed to made an onscreen appearance include Ruth (Úrsula Corberó) and Blanca (Cecilia Freire).[6][2]

Atresplayer Premium released the first episode (titled "Cosas que hacer antes de casarse") on 27 December 2020.[6] The closing episode (titled "Sí, puedes volver atrás")[12] aired on 3 January 2021.[13]

Controversy

The series arrived on the platform with a great controversy since Carlos Montero, one of the creators of the original fiction, was not taken into account to take charge of this sequel. "The creator of the series has not been asked, total ... what will he have to say?", The writer wrote on his Twitter profile on 22 April 2020, after hearing the news that Antena 3's fiction was returning in the form of a special to the Atresmedia platform.[14]

At the fiction presentation round, held on 17 December. 2020, Montse García, fiction director of Atresmedia TV, assured that Montero could not be in the project due to "exclusivity contract issues" with Netflix , a platform to which he joined after the success of another of his creations, Elite.[15] Days before, the creator of the series had already denied this information during the presentation of their latest project for the North American streaming service: "I think they have been asked and talked about my current contract with Netflix, but I have not talked to anyone about my contract and they don't know what contract I have. Netflix would not have prevented me from going back to 'Física o Química to do two chapters".[16][13]

After the premiere of this sequel, Montero criticized that his name had not been included in the credits of this special season that has served as a reunion to the characters he had created. After his complaint, those responsible for the revival have rectified and in his last episode credited the author as the creator of the characters.
