Nolasco will play Kevin, the trainee hitman after Gala (Eva Longoria), and her family. He is excessively concerned about his appearance and how many people follow him on social media. This makes him just the right man for the job.
Cabrera will portray Amat, a young man who has only lived in La Muga for a few years.

Muñoz will play Mariona, Julia’s (Carmen Maura) estranged sister. Mariona, despite being childhood best friends, never understood Julia’s departure from town and didn’t forgive her for not writing a single word. Mariona is full rage and hurt until Julia enters her life like a wake up call.
Bazua will play Kate, Gala’s teenage daughter enjoying her freedom at boarding school far from her overbearing mom. This is until she is manipulated into joining a “girls’ trip”Her family has fled, only to be discovered later. Sardonic and bold, she has inherited her grandmother’s rather dark sense of humor. Sometimes, though, this is just a façade to cover her insecurity.
