Belén Rueda explains why the ending of Los Serrano was so peculiar

The series Los Serrano has left an indelible mark on Spanish television heritage, although it is not always associated with positive memories. Its controversial ending, revealed to be a dream, surprised both loyal fans and its own actors. For years, the show, created by Daniel Écija and Álex Pina, accompanied numerous families, but its bewildering conclusion left many stunned by an ending that seemed to be taken straight from the most surreal of plots.

It was impossible to bring them all together

Belen Rueda, who played one of the most beloved characters in the series, recently shared her surprise upon learning that the ending had not been read together by the cast. In her appearance on the show Al cielo con ella, Rueda recalled her reaction upon discovering that after her character’s death, she would return in a final scene of the series. “Oh, but I’m alive!” she exclaimed, surprised to reappear before an audience that had followed the characters’ growth for years.

The producer of the series, Daniel Écija, justified this decision as the only way to bring all the characters together, although his explanations did not convince everyone. Fran Perea and Antonio Resines, also part of the cast, were critical of the ending, calling it “terrible” and “a madness,” respectively. Perea did not hesitate to express his discontent, stating that “what was done with that episode was terrible,” reflecting the discouragement it generated among the audience and the actors themselves.

Despite the negative comments, Belén Rueda chose to take the situation with humor, trying to sell the implausible story to her co-stars. However, the echo of the controversy persists, being a recurring topic in conversations about the series and its legacy in Spanish television.
