Cristóbal Balenciaga is an upcoming Spanish biographical drama television series created by Aitor Arregi, Jon Garaño, Jose Mari Goenaga, and Lourdes Iglesias, and starring Alberto San Juan as the homonym fashion designer.[1][2]

Premise

In 1937, after a successful career with his ateliers in Madrid and San Sebastián dressing the Spanish elite and aristocracy, the designer Cristóbal Balenciaga made the international leap by presenting his first haute couture collection in Paris. However, the designs that set trends in Spain did not work in the sophisticated fashion empire that Paris had become, where Chanel, Dior and Givenchy were the benchmark for haute couture. Guided by his obsession for control in all aspects of his life, Balenciaga would define his style to become one of the greatest designers in history.[1]

On 12 November 2021, Disney+ announced that they would begin produce their first original series in Spain: Balenciaga, a biographical series about the Spanish couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga.[3] In June 2022, Alberto San Juan was announced as the actor who would play Balenciaga in the series, while the rest of the cast was announced in July 2022.[4][5] In late September 2022, it was announced that the series was on track to complete filming after four months of work in various locations.[6]

When Disney+ announced the premiere date for the series, it was revealed that at some point in production the title of the series had changed from Balenciaga to Cristóbal Balenciaga.[7]
