## Production and release

Produced by Mediaset España in collaboration with BocaBoca [es], the filming of the series started in July 2011 under the provisional title '2055'. The shooting location reportedly was a 3,000 m$^2$ set in San Sebastián de los Reyes. The first episode premiered on 11 January 2012 on Telecinco. Directed by Antonio Hernández, the series comprised twelve 70-minute long episodes.
Jeansy Aúz authored the score. The series' main theme "Pero si tú no estás", was written and performed by Nena Daconte.
After a "promising" 16.9% share of audience in the first episode (overcoming its Wednesday rival Downton Abbey), the number of viewers deflated gradually down to a minimum of 8.5% in the penultimate episode, averaging a "weak" 11.3%, even after Telecinco's decision to reshuffle the series from Wednesday to Tuesday and then again back to Wednesday.
Telecinco decided not to renew the series for a second season.
The web airing fared better becoming one of the most demanded online contents of Mediaset España's Mitele [es] platform, and, well received abroad at the Cannes' MIPTV (joining the event's "Wit List"), DirecTV purchased its rights for the Americas.
