The series available on Netflix, known as The Lady's Companion, is a Spanish comedy-drama that debuted on March 28, 2025. Set in late 19th-century Madrid, it centers around the character of Elena Bianda, a young and driven chaperone portrayed by Nadia de Santiago. While the show has been likened to Bridgerton for its historical backdrop and romantic narrative, it also features modern aspects such as energetic camera work and a current musical score.
What is the plot of The Lady's Companion?
Elena Bianda, a young chaperone, is entrusted with the responsibility of securing appropriate husbands for three affluent sisters—Cristina, Sara, and Carlota—while also managing her own experiences with love, scandal, and intrigue. She is recognized as a leading figure in the realm of arranged marriages for young women.
However, she faces a new challenge when she is assigned to find suitable suitors for the Mencia sisters, who are not of royal lineage but hold important positions within their social circles.
The show's synopsis states, “Elena’s effectiveness stems from her unwavering moral guidance for families, coupled with her sensitivity to the needs of the young women she supports—a nuanced equilibrium she has perfected. Witnessing her mentees successfully marry is her ultimate goal. Everything shifts, however, when she enters the Mencía household and takes on the responsibility for three sisters.”
Produced by Bambu Producciones, this romantic comedy series consists of eight episodes and is available for streaming on Netflix.
