## Synopsis

The Guest (2025-present) is a Colombian psychological thriller series created by Lina Uribe and Dario Vanegas for Netflix. Its premise centers on a seemingly perfect household whose calm surface begins to crack when an unexpected visitor arrives at the door. Laura Londoño plays Silvia, a central figure within the family, while Carmen Villalobos appears in the dual role of Sonia and Rocío, and Jason Day plays Lorenzo, whose presence heightens the unease. As the stranger settles in, hidden tensions surface and the family's political aspirations begin to threaten to tear it apart, turning ordinary domestic routines into a web of suspicion. The series is a single continuing story told across twenty episodes of roughly forty-one minutes each, following a slow-burn structure where each episode peels back another layer of concealment. Its tone is tense and claustrophobic, with the intimacy of family rooms charged by menace and quiet dread. Viewers drawn to Big Little Lies, The Visitor and the prestige Latin American drama of Narcos will find a similar pull in its polished surfaces and fractured loyalties. Its story is grounded in contemporary Colombia, where class, ambition and power shape private lives.
