Locked Up (Spanish: Vis a Vis) is a Spanish crime drama television series co-created by Álex Pina, Iván Escobar, and Esther Martínez Lobato, and produced by Globomedia. Featuring an ensemble cast, the story focuses on the high-stakes lives of characters in and out of prison, and is primarily led by Macarena Ferreiro (Maggie Civantos), who is imprisoned for financial crimes, and Zulema Zahir (Najwa Nimri), a violent career criminal. The series premiered on 20 April 2015 on Spanish channel Antena 3. Its first two seasons were broadcast by Antena 3, and its last three seasons by Fox Spain.
A year after Antena 3 cancelled the show's broadcast, Fox Spain picked up the series for a third and fourth season. The former premiered on 23 April 2018. Several cast changes were made and Civantos' role was reduced due to commitments to another show. Nimri, Alba Flores, Berta Vázquez, María Isabel Díaz Lago, and Marta Aledo returned as main cast members. Production also moved to a different location, and the previous studio became the set of another Pina show, Money Heist. Vis a Vis became the most watched premium television program in its timeslot and Spain's breakout hit series. In 2017, Netflix bought global streaming rights for the show. The fourth season premiered on 3 December 2018. The spin-off Vis a vis: El Oasis was released in 2020; it concludes Macarena and Zulema's story and serves as the fifth and final season of the series. An audio series set after the fourth season, Vis a Vis: La Cara B (2020), was released on Audible.
Vis a Vis received critical acclaim in Spain and internationally, garnering praise for its intense drama, character dynamics, cast performances, cinematography, and depiction of moral ambiguity. Among its accolades are nominations from the Actors and Actresses Union Awards, Premios Ondas, Premios Iris, Feroz Awards, Fotogramas de Plata, and FesTVal.
