Red Queen On Prime Video | Release Date
We're still waiting a longer trailer for Red Queen, but we can still share the release date: the puzzle solving on Prime Video begins on February 29, 2024.
The Plot Of Red Queen On Prime Video
Don't worry, I'll keep this one spoiler free – you're safe to keep reading!
The show takes its audience to Madrid and here's what you're in for according to Prime Video:
"With an IQ of 242, Antonia Scott is officially the smartest person on Earth. Her intelligence made her the “Red Queen” of a secret and experimental police project, but what seemed like a gift became a curse, and she ended up losing everything.
When the son of a powerful tycoon is found gruesomely murdered and the daughter of Spain’s wealthiest man is kidnapped, the Red Queen organization is set in motion. Mentor, Antonia’s former boss, turns to Jon Gutiérrez, a hot-tempered Basque cop on the verge of being expelled from the force, to reactivate Antonia.
The twisted cat-and-mouse game in which Jon and Antonia become entangled in during the investigation helps them discover that they admire and complement each other almost as much as they irritate each other."
The Cast Of Red Queen
The protagonists, Antonia Scott and Jon Gutiérrez will be played by Vicky Luengo and Hovik Keuchkerian, respectively. The cast also includes Eduardo Noriega, Emma Suárez, Alex Brendemühl, Fernando Guallar and Andrea Trepat.
If none of those names ring a bell for you, that's fine. But you're in for a whole new world if you give international shows a try, let me tell you that! Red Queen might be just the show for you to dip your toes into European productions.
You can do so as soon as February 29, so mark your calendars for that!
