Cast

Production and release

Bienvenidos al Lolita, tentatively titled Lolita Cabaret before its release, was inspired in the classical Spanish comedy genre from the 1950s and 1960s. [4] The series was produced by Globomedia, [5] whereas Daniel Écija, Álex Pina, Fernando González Molina and Esther Martínez Lobato were credited as executive producers. [6] Fernando González Molina, David Molina and Sandra Gallego directed the episodes. [6] The 6-month-long filming was wrapped up by November 2013. [7] [3] Shooting took place in Madrid. [7]

The series premiered on 7 January 2014, with a "promising" 18.4% share. [8] However interest rapidly waned, and the audience share went all the way down to a 10.5% in the sixth episode. [8] Antena 3 then decided not to renovate the series, with the last 2 episodes yet to be aired. [9] The broadcasting run of the 8-episode season ended on 25 February 2014, averaging 2,658,000 viewers and a 14.0% share. [8]

The misfiring of the series reportedly made Pina "realize the need to regenerate the prevailing model of national television". [10] According to Pina, the series' direst mistake was "not being coherent with the plot", "making a cabaret series" (...) "without being absolutely transgressive is a mistake". [11]
