Águila Roja (Red Eagle) is a Spanish adventure television series set in Spain during the 17th century. It is produced by Globomedia for La 1 of Televisión Española. It is one of the public channel's most successful shows, and its rights have been sold to several countries.

The aim of the show was to capitalize on the success of TVE's period dramas such as Cuéntame cómo pasó, La Señora or Amar en tiempos revueltos, but at the same time aiming for mature audiences with a masked hero in the style of Zorro or Green Arrow as the main character. Many of the latter shows carry warnings that they are for mature audiences only. ^[1]

Synopsis

The series follows Gonzalo de Montalvo (David Janer), a school teacher said to be illegitimate son of reigning king Philip IV, as he becomes Águila Roja in an attempt to expose the assassin of his wife and avenge her death, which usually includes foiling plots against the monarchy planned by a secret society known as "La Logia" ("The Lodge"), amongst whose members are Lucrecia (Miryam Gallego), Marquise of Santillana, and Hernán Mejías (Francis Lorenzo), Inspector in the Village of Madrid.
