The Lady's Companion (Season 1)

The Lady's Companion (Manual para señoritas, 2025) is a Spanish period comedy-drama series you can watch online on iFILM. The job sounds straightforward: find suitable husbands for three wealthy sisters. Late-19th-century suitable, where a wrong introduction can ruin a reputation overnight.

Directed by Carlos Sedes and Claudia Pinto Emperador, the series follows Elena Bianda — played by Nadia de Santiago — as she navigates engagement schemes, social scandal and the unwritten rules of a world that leaves no margin for error. Álvaro Mel plays opposite her. Each sister has different ideas about what a good match looks like. Elena has ideas too, though they're not in the brief she was hired for.

The show trusts its period setting rather than winking at it, which turns out to be the right call. Stream The Lady's Companion (2025) online on iFILM.
