Barcelona’s Raval has inspired a new HBO Max series after the eviction of the century-old Can Lluís restaurant became the trigger for the fiction, according to its creators, Aina Clotet and Marcel Borràs.

The pair, who created *Això no és Suècia*, said the closing of the local was the starting point for the project. The series takes that real-life event as a reference point, while turning it into drama.

Can Lluís was a long-standing part of the neighbourhood before its closure. The case has now crossed into television, showing how a local story in Barcelona can shape wider cultural work.

HBO Max has not been given further details here, but the creators’ comments make clear that the Raval eviction sits at the centre of the new series’ origin story.
