Disney+ Is Developing a Modern-Day 'Blood Wedding' Series With Manolo Caro

Disney+ is developing a television series based on Blood Wedding, the play by Federico García Lorca, with Mexican director and producer Manolo Caro involved. Variety reported the project on 9 November 2026.

The show will be set in modern-day Mexico and will bring regional Mexican music into the story, according to Variety. Woo Films is taking part in the development, with Rafa Ley, Mario Savino and Laura Wills named as executive producers. An executive producer is a senior figure who oversees a project's overall direction and funding, rather than the daily work on set.

Development is the early stage of making a show. Writers and producers shape the story, and the company decides whether to go ahead before any filming starts. Disney+ has been working on this adaptation for more than a year, Variety reported. That means the series has not yet been given a release date.

Caro has worked with streaming services before. Deadline reported in May 2019 that Netflix had signed him to an overall deal, a contract that gives a company first access to a creator's new projects.

Lorca's Blood Wedding is a tragedy about a wedding, a family feud and a love that cannot be spoken aloud. Turning it into a series set in today's Mexico is the kind of reworking that can take many months of writing before a single scene is shot. For viewers, the news for now is simply that the idea is moving forward.

Until a platform announces a premiere window, the project stays in development. Any further news will come from Disney+ or from the people attached to the show.
