With the recent premiere of “Accident,” a suspense series that explores an unexpected tragedy affecting three families, Netflix continues to gain followers in the short series format. The Mexican series has sparked the interest of many, who are wondering about the filming locations or the cast of actors that complete the production.
The largest streaming platform is not lagging behind with its releases and “Accidente” makes it clear that the suspense genre is still attractive to many. Thus, the Mexican production was released on August 21. It features the presence of several renowned local artists who will surely increase the number of views before the weekend.
With just 10 episodes in its first season, the series invites us to watch a marathon while watching the tragic accidents that occur in its plot. Directed by Leonardo Patrón, “Accidente” is set to be one of the most watched Spanish-language productions of the month of August, and why not of the last quarter.
But before I tell you more, I’ll leave you with the trailer for this exciting series that has positioned itself at the top of the Netflix ranking in its first few days.
TRAILER FOR “ACCIDENT”, THE NEW NETFLIX SERIES:
WHAT IS “ACCIDENT” ABOUT?
According to the Netflix synopsis, the plot of “Accident” is tinged with tragedy from its first minutes: “The aftermath of a birthday party that ends in tragedy creates deep rifts in a close-knit community, and tears apart families, friendships and hearts.”
On the occasion of their son Rodrigo’s birthday, Daniela and Emiliano, a well-off couple, organize an important party and invite several families to spend a festive afternoon without any major difficulties.
The festive event turns tragic when a sudden, intense wind causes the death of three children who were present at the celebration.

The loss of the children will be a devastating blow to the families and will trigger a hunt among the parents for those responsible. Gradually, darker details of the incident will become known.
WHERE WAS “ACCIDENT” FILMED?
Now, since the series is of Mexican origin, it was filmed in that country. But we must pay attention to some details, since the choice of locations was not a coincidence. According to Leonardo Padrón, executive of the series, the decision was made by the giant Netflix in view of its plans for the creation of content in Latin America.
“Mexico has become a powerful epicenter for the production of Hispanic content for the entire world. But this is a universal story. It doesn’t matter where it happens. It could be in Mexico City, in Madrid, in Rio de Janeiro, in Caracas, in Tokyo. The geography that matters most is the emotional geography of the characters,” Padrón said, according to Telemundo’s news portal.
The intention is clear: the emotions of the characters transcend more than the latitudes or geographical locations. And the producers of “Accident” have managed this very well.

In any case, the areas chosen to film the scenes were Querétaro and Tequisquiapan, areas with great historical value in Mexico. Do you recognize any place where “Accidente” was filmed?

The series “Accident” is available in the Netflix catalog. To watch the full episodes of season 1 online, you must have a current subscription to the streaming platform.
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE “ACCIDENT” STORY?
The origin of the story of Accidente is not based on a single real event, but on the combination of several situations that have occurred in different parts of the world. As producer Leonardo Padrón explained In an interview with El Estímulo“It is not based on a true story, but on the sum of several true stories. The ‘accident’ that triggers the story has occurred in various parts of the world with a frequency that would surprise anyone.”
The series is based on the premise that life can change in a second, whether due to an accident, an illness, or an unexpected revelation. Padrón said that the plot focuses on what happens when an accident affects several families at the same time, and how this unleashes a chain of events that calls into question whether what happened was really an accident: “What happens if you discover that the accident is not an accident?”
