Holy Family is a thriller on Netflix that has been billed as "steamy" and "dark", following the life of mysterious single mum Gloria and her household who live in the well-off neighborhood of Fuente del Berro, but something's not quite right.

The characters in Holy Family are full of mystery and there are plenty of twists and turns along the way, with many Netflix viewers keen to learn more about them throughout the eight-part series.

Set against a Madrid backdrop, the drama features a great cast of Spanish talent, and we'll be exploring the major players, a bit more about their roles and where you may have seen them before.

Gloria is the protagonist of Holy Family and she's certainly an interesting individual. Right from the first episode we realise there's more to her than meets the eye, as she's reluctant to have anyone over to her house and she's dismissive about throwing a party for her son, Hugo. But why?

She's played by Najwa Nimri, a Spanish actress and singer who has starred in a number of Spanish films and TV programmes since the 1990s.

Blanca is one of Gloria's friends and lives within the Fuente del Berro community. She has a son named Lorenzo and considers herself to be an expert when it comes to the local neighborhood, but can be quite opinionated at times.
