New Series Delivers An Almodóvar Homage

Antonio Banderas has confirmed his role in the upcoming mini–series “Pedro x Javis”, a passion project by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo—known colloquially as Los Javis. Posting a black-and-white still to Instagram, the Málaga native wrote (translated): “With Soy Ambrossi and Javier Calvo in their series homage to Pedro Almodóvar. 👉 ‘Pedro x Javis’ #LosJavisPXJ #PedroxJavis #pedroalmodovar.” Fans quickly flooded the comments, eager for this creative reunion.

A Lifetime Of Almodóvar Collaborations

Banderas first rose to international prominence under Pedro Almodóvar’s direction in Labyrinth of Passion (1982). Over the next decade, he became one of Almodóvar’s muses, starring in Matador (1986), Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988), and Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (1989). According to his Wikipedia profile, these collaborations cemented his reputation as Spain’s leading dramatic talent, forging a bond that spans more than 40 years.

Los Javis Tap Into Classic Cinema

Creators of Netflix’s La llamada and the acclaimed series Veneno, the duo have a flair for vivid visuals and sharp comedy. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Javier Ambrossi said they aim to “pay genuine respect while bringing our own style to the narrative.” Early teasers suggest vibrant recreations of Almodóvar’s signature scenes, complete with playful nods to his color-packed aesthetics and complex characters.

Fans Eager For Behind-the-scenes Stories

Insiders say Banderas will offer on-camera anecdotes from iconic shoots, including unreleased glimpses of the Women on the Verge set. Viewers can expect interviews, dramatic reenactments, and perhaps even Almodóvar’s personal insights.
