An 80th birthday sounds like a happy occasion. But things are much more complicated in the case of the powerful Spanish Novak family at the center of The Tribute (El Homenaje), the new SkyShowtime Spanish original series premiering today, Thursday.
The family thriller, from the creative minds behind Shades (Matices), which was a hit for the European streaming joint venture of Paramount and Comcast that is available in more than 20 markets, will debut four episodes, followed by the remaining four episodes a week later, on April 30. The Tribute stars Eusebio Poncela, in his final fiction role before his death, Miriam Giovanelli, Juana Acosta, Enrique Arce, Raúl Prieto, Luis Tosar, Luisa Mayol, and Elsa Pataky. They also featured in Shades, which told a different story with different characters. In* The Tribute*, they are joined by the likes of Manu Ríos, Álvaro Rico, Ángela Molina, Georgina Amorós and Óscar de la Fuente.
