New Spanish Comedy Series 'Si es martes, es asesinato' Debuts on Disney+

The Spanish comedy series 'Si es martes, es asesinato' premiered on Disney+, created by Carlos Vila, known for 'Los misterios de Laura'. The show features a cast including actresses Carmen Ruiz and Luisa Gavasa, noted for their comedic talent, alongside actors such as Ana Wagener, Alex García, Inma Cuesta, Pedro Casablanc, and Biel Montoro. The plot revolves around a group of tourists traveling by bus in Lisbon, where a character named Fernando, played by Pedro Casablanc, is found dead in a hotel bathtub, leading to an amateur investigation.
