Netflix’s new documentary series Beyond Society opened the program at the San Sebastián International Film Festival on September 23, drawing attention from audiences and critics alike.
The three‑part series was created by Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona—known for Society of the Snow, The Impossible and A Monster Calls—and producer Carlos Torres, who has worked on Pajares & CIA and Crims. It picks up where Bayona’s earlier film Society of the Snow left off, continuing the story that began in that feature.
San Sebastián’s festival, held annually in the Basque Country, is one of Europe’s most prestigious film events, attracting filmmakers, distributors and media from around the world.
As a Netflix original, Beyond Society will be available on the streaming platform worldwide, offering viewers a three‑episode deep dive into the subject matter that Bayona and Torres have developed.
With a blend of Bayona’s cinematic storytelling and Torres’s documentary expertise, the series promises to deliver a compelling narrative across its concise format.
