Plot

The fiction is set in the Costa del Sol.[3] Hugo Beltrán (Jesús Mosquera) is a young, handsome and carefree stripper. One morning he wakes up on a sailboat, after a night of partying and excesses, next to the burned corpse of a man, allegedly the husband of his lover, Macarena Medina (Cristina Castaño), a mature and powerful woman with whom he maintained a steamy high-voltage sexual relationship. Hugo does not remember anything that happened the night of the crime, but he is sure that he is not the murderer, but the victim of a set-up to accuse him. After a quick trial, he is sentenced to fifteen years in prison.

Seven years later, he is visited in prison by Triana Marín (María Pedraza), a young lawyer who, representing a major law firm, offers to help him reopen the case and try to prove his innocence in a new trial. Although Hugo distrusts the offer, Triana gets the conviction annulled and Hugo is released from prison, on probation and pending the holding of a new trial in which they will have to be able to prove their innocence.

Triana and Hugo work together to try to unravel a complex plot that took an innocent person to prison. A relationship that will not be easy, since they belong to diametrically opposite worlds; She is a lawyer with a hard-working, responsible and bright future. He, a master of the night, former prisoner and considered a murderer by everyone except himself.

Production and release

Created by César Benítez, Juan Carlos Cueto and Rocío Martínez, Toy Boy was produced by Atresmedia Televisión in collaboration with Plano a Plano.[8] Iñaki Mercero and Javier Quintas directed the episodes of the first season.[3] The first season was shot on natural locations of the Costa del Sol: shooting locations included Málaga, Fuengirola, Torremolinos, Mijas, Marbella and Estepona.[9] Filming was wrapped in May 2019.[9] The series premiered on Atresplayer Premium on 8 September 2019, later starting its free-to-air broadcasting run on Antena 3 on 25 September 2019.[10]

Despite mediocre viewership figures in the domestic run on linear television, the series enjoyed a better international reception in Netflix.[11] Thus, in July 2020, Atresmedia and Netflix decided to bring back the series for a second season.[11] Filming started by March 2021 in Vélez-Málaga.[12] In April 2021 Álex González, Federica Sabatini, Enrique Arce, Paco Marín, Ibrahim Al-Shami, Toni Zenet and Juan Betancourt were announced as additions to the cast,[13] with Javier Quintas and Laura M.
