Sumario:This article seeks to study the evolution of the genre of contemporary Spanish televised miniseries and its principle characteristics. Taking the definition of this genre as our starting point, we chose contemporary Spanish miniseries as our object of study, given that few academic studies have considered it until now. We focus our analysis on the miniseries produced between 2000 and 2012, a period during which the genre consolidated in Spain, and from this analysis, we identify the characteristics that explain its success. We will also analyze the rankings of the most-watched shows in Spain during the first decade of the 21st century.
