Production and release

[edit]

A joint Spanish–Colombian co-production, Karabudjan was produced by Notro TV and Dynamo Producciones.[8] Written by Carlos de Pando, Jon Sagalá and Jacobo Bergareche,[9] four episodes were directed by Koldo Serra and two by Felipe Martínez Amador.[10] It was shot on natural locations in Colombia (the bulk of the production, including footage for the Senegalese and Spanish fictional settings) and Spain.[6][11] The series consists of 6 episodes featuring a running time of around 70 minutes.[12]

The first episode premiered on Antena 3 on 6 April 2010, earning 2,592,000 viewers and a 14.2% audience share.[13] Following a drop in the viewership figures and pending the airing of the two last episodes, Antena 3 decided to program the broadcasting of the remaining two episodes on a back-to-back basis for 4 May 2010,[14] which earned a combined average of 1,636,000 viewers and a 11.1% share.[15]
