The film is currently launching sales at the Cannes Film Festival and is slated to begin filming in Hungary later this year.

A Plague, a Monastery, and the Undead

Set in 1348 Yorkshire, Rapture unfolds within the isolated walls of Lansley Abbey, where a group of monks live in strict devotion.

Their peace is shattered when a messenger arrives bearing news of a virulent plague that turns its victims into “revenants”—restless, undead beings.

As the contagion spreads, the monks face a moral dilemma: should they offer sanctuary to the afflicted or protect the centuries of knowledge safeguarded within their monastery?

Fans online were quick to draw comparisons to Élite’s most dramatic moments, and with good reason—Olympo comes from the same creative minds.

Inside Olympo’s World

The series centers on Amaia, played by Clara Galle, the driven captain of Spain’s national artistic swimming team.

Her leadership and mental toughness are tested when her best friend and teammate Núria (portrayed by María Romanillos) suddenly starts outperforming her, igniting suspicion and jealousy.

As whispers of “inexplicable” progress spread among the team, Amaia and her fellow athletes are forced to face the toxic side of competition.

The series is produced by Zeta Studios, the same powerhouse behind Élite, known for crafting emotionally charged, visually slick youth dramas that push boundaries and pulse with tension.

The teaser is more than a promo—it’s a promise of things to come: betrayal, desire, and the high-stakes pursuit of perfection in a world where slipping up can cost everything.

Mark your calendars for June 20, because Olympo is coming, and it’s bringing the heat in every sense of the word.
