Prime Video’s La jauría opens with a disappearance and a video, and refuses to look away from either. Blanca, the student leader of a feminist movement occupying her school, goes missing. Hours later, a recording of a group raping her spreads across the internet. The hunt for her falls to a police squad of three women, and the show’s central claim is that the crime at the center of it is not the whole of it.

Blanca and the Video That Starts It
The premise is blunt, and La jauría means it to be. A girl vanishes. A tape surfaces. The two facts arrive close together, and the series treats that proximity as the point. What looks like one offender’s act turns out to sit inside something larger, and the squad’s job is to find out how much larger.
Antonia Giesen plays Blanca. She is the movement’s leader, and her absence is the engine that drives the case. The show does not treat her as a symbol to be mourned. It treats her as a person whose disappearance opens an investigation.
Created by Sergio Castro San Martín and Enrique Videla, La jauría ran on Prime Video for two seasons and 16 episodes. It first aired on July 10, 2020, and last aired on April 22, 2022. Its genres are drama and crime, and it earns both labels without leaning on either as decoration.
Carla Farías, Olivia Fernández, Elisa Murillo
The squad is the show’s spine. María Gracia Omegna plays Carla Farías. Antonia Zegers plays Olivia Fernández. Daniela Vega plays Elisa Murillo. Three women, one investigation, and a threat that the series extends past the officers themselves to their families.
That extension is where La jauría does its real work. The show’s synopsis is explicit that the squad puts their lives and the lives of their families at risk. The danger is not confined to the job. It follows them home, and the series lets that pressure build across the run rather than spending it in a single episode.
Paula Luchsinger plays Celeste Ibarra. Luis Gnecco plays Claudio. Claudia di Girólamo plays Francisca. Clemente Rodríguez plays Gonzalo. Marcela Salinas plays Sandra Alcamilla. Paulina García plays Koch. Giannina Fruttero plays Cero. The cast is deep, and the show uses it to keep the case from collapsing into a single thread.
What Sits Behind the Crime
The promise in the synopsis is that behind this gender crime there is much more than just one offender. La jauría takes that promise seriously. The investigation keeps widening, and the widening is the story.
This is the part that separates La jauría from a standard missing-person procedural. A procedural ends when the offender is caught. This show argues that catching one person settles almost nothing, because the conditions that produced the crime are still standing.
The occupied school matters here. Blanca’s role as a student leader of the feminist movement is not background color. It places the crime inside a political conflict, and the series is willing to sit in that conflict rather than resolve it cleanly.
Two Seasons, Sixteen Episodes
Two seasons, 16 episodes, and a two-year gap between the first and last air dates. La jauría debuted in July 2020 and closed in April 2022. That span is worth noting because it shapes how the show reads now.
A first season that airs in 2020 and a second that lands in 2022 are not the same show. The world around them moved. The series kept its focus on the squad and the case, but the distance between the two runs is part of what a viewer is watching.

The Squad Is the Reason to Watch
Three women carrying a case that threatens their families is a structure that could go wrong in a dozen ways. La jauría avoids most of them by keeping the squad’s cost concrete. Carla Farías, Olivia Fernández and Elisa Murillo are not interchangeable. The show gives each of them a stake, and the threat to their homes lands harder because the series does not treat it as a twist.
Daniela Vega’s Elisa Murillo is the kind of role that could have been written as a type. The series resists that. The same goes for Antonia Zegers as Olivia Fernández and María Gracia Omegna as Carla Farías. The three of them hold the center while the case pulls outward.
The supporting cast does the rest. Paulina García as Koch, Claudia di Girólamo as Francisca, Luis Gnecco as Claudio — these are not names dropped for weight. They are part of how the show keeps the conspiracy from feeling like a single room.
Where the Case Outruns the Girl
The show’s ambition is also its risk. A crime that is “much more than just one offender” can expand until the original victim gets lost inside the machinery. La jauría mostly avoids that, but the pull is real across 16 episodes.
Blanca’s disappearance starts the series. The investigation is what the series becomes. That shift is deliberate, and it is also where some viewers will feel the show working harder than it needs to.
TMDB users rate La jauría 7.3 out of 10 across 605 votes. That is respect without much affection.
A procedural that ends with an arrest would have been shorter and safer. This one chose the wider case, and the wider case is what costs it.
What the Score Says
The 7.3/10 audience score, drawn from 605 votes on TMDB, reads as a fair landing spot for a show built this way. It is not a score that suggests a show people dismissed. It is a score that suggests a show people respected without quite loving, and that fits La jauría’s shape.
La jauría is a crime drama that refuses the easy ending. It builds a case around one girl’s disappearance and then insists the case is bigger than the crime that started it. Two seasons, 16 episodes, and a squad of three women who pay for the work with more than their time.
The show’s best decision is casting. María Gracia Omegna, Antonia Zegers and Daniela Vega give the investigation a center that holds when the plot widens. Antonia Giesen’s Blanca is the reason the case exists, and the series never lets you forget what her absence costs.
Its weakness is the same as its strength. The widening scope is the point, and it is also the thing that can make 16 episodes feel like a longer road than the story needs. The show earns its length more often than not, but not always.
What matters most here is the framing. La jauría treats a gender crime as a system, not an incident. That choice gives the series a spine that most procedurals lack, and it is why the show still reads as worth the time six years after its debut. The score is 7.3 of 10.
