Is La Palma Based on a True Story & Real Events or a Book?
ComingSoon.netStory by Ayesha Zafar
scrn logline
Netflix's 'La Palma' blends fact and fiction, thrilling viewers with a suspenseful original story set against the backdrop of the Canary Islands' active volcanoes.
beat sheet
- While the show's visuals and setting are inspired by real-life volcanic events on La Palma, the characters and storyline are entirely fictional, crafted by writers Lars Gudmestad and Harald Rosenløw-Eeg.
- The series' timeline coincides with the Cumbre Vieja's last eruption in 2021, adding to the show's sense of authenticity, but the plot points around geological phenomena like tsunamis are pure creative license.
