More than a decade after the hit Spanish sitcom ended, Aida, the Movie reunites the characters that made Aída one of Spain’s most successful comedy series. Instead of simply continuing the television story, the film takes a self-aware approach. The plot revolves around the filming of an episode of Aída, blurring the line between the fictional characters and the actors who play them. That setup allows the movie to revisit familiar faces while also poking fun at fame, television, and the changing boundaries of comedy.
Carmen Machi returns as Aída, the role that launched the series and remains its emotional center. Paco León is back as the lovable and endlessly chaotic Luisma, while Miren Ibarguren reprises her role as Soraya. The film also brings back Mariano Peña, Eduardo Casanova, Marisol Ayuso, David Castillo, Melani Olivares, Pepe Viyuela, and several other familiar faces from the original show.
Their chemistry is the movie’s biggest strength. Rather than introducing a completely new cast or storyline, the film relies on the relationships audiences already know, making the reunion feel natural rather than forced.
As both director and co-writer, Paco León avoids making a straightforward revival. The film constantly plays with reality and fiction, using the production of a television episode as the foundation for its comedy. This gives the story room to comment on how television has changed since Aída originally aired and how comedy is viewed differently today.
Critics praised the film’s playful structure and its willingness to laugh at itself while still delivering the humor fans expected from the franchise.
Aida, the Movie premiered in Madrid on January 27, 2026, before opening in Spanish theaters on January 30, 2026. The comedy was distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment Iberia and later expanded to international markets, including the United States and parts of Latin America. As of now, streaming availability varies by region, though Prime Video participated in the film’s production and may become its primary digital home in selected territories.
