Gracias equipo: Netflix Starts Filming Its New Dark Comedy About Layoffs and Team-Building
Key Takeaways
- “Gracias equipo” turns a simple team-building retreat into a darkly comedic battlefield, exploring betrayal, ambition, and corporate chaos when layoffs threaten a struggling company.
Netflix has officially started filming its new Spanish comedy film Gracias equipo, promising a sharp and hilarious look at teamwork when job cuts are just around the corner.
Directed by Diego Núñez Irigoyen and created by Adolfo Valor and Cristóbal Garrido, Gracias equipo began shooting in September in Madrid. The film follows the once-successful cheese company Tío Mochales, which now struggles to survive in a changing business world. In a last-ditch effort to revive team spirit, the company organizes a rural team-building retreat — but what’s supposed to be a bonding experience quickly turns into chaos when employees learn that layoffs are coming.
The dark comedy explores ambition, betrayal, and corporate absurdity, turning a seemingly ordinary retreat into a battlefield of manipulation and survival. The cast includes Alexandra Jiménez (The Innocent), Maribel Verdú (Elite), Pedro Casablanc (White Lines), and Raúl Tejón (Alpha Males), among others, with a special appearance by Pepe Viyuela (The Hunt).
Produced by Zeta Studios — the company behind Netflix hits like Elite — Gracias equipo aims to deliver biting humor and a brutally honest look at office culture. With its clever premise and stellar cast, the film is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s standout Spanish comedies of 2025.
Netflix hasn’t announced an official release date yet, but Gracias equipo is currently in production and expected to premiere in 2026.
