Welcome to Eden

Zoa, a social media savvy young woman, is invited to a party of the century on a hidden island where five friends are lured by a glossy lifestyle and a new drink brand. The invite is framed as a chance to unplug from ordinary life and live something extraordinary, but the promise of paradise soon clashes with a darker reality. On the sunlit shores and glittering venues, the group discovers that the island is more controlled experiment than carefree Eden. As the curves of attraction and status pull at them, friendships strain and loyalties fracture under the pressure of cameras, brands, and secrets behind the perfect image. What starts as a lure soon becomes a test of loyalty and nerve.

Created by Joaquín Górriz, Guillermo López Sánchez and Raimon Masllorens, Welcome to Eden debuted in 2022 as a Spanish science fiction drama. The project showcases a compact team of creators steering a high gloss, high tension story about social media, desire and danger on a private island. Its look and tone lean toward sleek technicolor fantasy with a tense undercurrent, reflecting contemporary anxieties about followers and sponsorship.

Since its release the show has sparked online chatter about influencer culture and the use of luxury brands to manipulate perception. Viewers discuss how the island doubles as a trap that confuses fantasy with reality, and how the glossy look heightens the sense of unease. Conversations on social media center on the tension between appearance and authenticity, and the way power cascades from charismatic branding to vulnerable participants.

Critics praised the performances of Amaia Salamanca and Amaia Aberasturi as the pressure tightens around them, and they applauded the show's willingness to mix suspense with social critique. The series probes performance culture and the price of belonging, exploring how pursuit of approval can blur ethics, control, and truth, while maintaining a tense, glossy atmosphere. The finale raises questions about control and resistance, inviting viewers to reassess trust and group dynamics.
