Barcelona becomes the epicentre of a tech thriller with Day One

The filming of Day One turns Barcelona’s emblematic spaces into settings for suspense. The series explores the ethical dilemmas of technology. It will premiere on Prime Video and 3Cat in March. Discover the corners of the city that appear on screen.

Barcelona once again takes centre stage in international fiction with the filming of Day One, a series that places the city at the heart of a technological thriller. The plot unfolds during the bustling Mobile World Congress, an event that each year transforms urban life and the city’s pulse. The story raises ethical questions about the use of technology, an issue that resonates particularly in a city as connected and dynamic as Barcelona.

The production team has chosen emblematic locations to bring the story to life: from the imposing Barcelona Supercomputing Center to the sinister atmosphere of the synchrotron, passing through the iconic Torre de Collserola, the futuristic Torre Glòries, the Universidad Pompeu Fabra and the 22@ district. Each of these spaces contributes a unique atmosphere, reflecting the city’s diversity and innovative character.

Day One is scheduled to premiere in March on Prime Video and 3Cat, which promises to place Barcelona at the centre of cultural and technological conversation. Anticipation is growing among those who see in the series an opportunity to view their city from a different perspective, marked by the suspense and moral dilemmas posed by digital progress.

The Barcelona Supercomputing Center, one of the series’ key settings, is much more than a research centre. Located in the heart of the city, this space houses one of Europe’s most powerful supercomputers and is a benchmark in technological innovation. Its activity drives projects ranging from artificial intelligence to climate simulation, consolidating Barcelona as an international hub of knowledge and scientific development.
