Netflix is soon coming up with an original Mexican series titled The Dead Girls. The show is based on Jorge Ibargüengoitia’s novel Las Muertas, which in turn was based on real events that transpired in Mexico in the 1950s and ‘60s.
The series tells the story of the Baladro sisters, two women who start running a brothel, which leads to some horrific sins and some gruesome deaths. The project has been helmed by Luis Estrada, who has previously directed several acclaimed films.
The Dead Girls is set to premiere on Netflix on September 10, 2025. If you are excited to watch the Baladro sisters’ story on screen, here are all the details you need about the crime drama.
The release date of The Dead Girls
The Dead Girls will be released on Netflix on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. All episodes of the show will be dropped on the streaming platform on the same day, ensuring a binge-watch session for the audience. The show has been labeled as a limited series, and hence, might only last one season.
To watch the show, you will need an active subscription to Netflix, which costs $7.99 per month for the Standard with ads plan, $17.99/month for the Standard ad-free plan, and $24.99 per month for the Premium plan.
The storyline of The Dead Girls
The show uses drama and dark humor to tell the story of the Baladro sisters, who rise from small-time hustlers to powerful owners of a large prostitution business in 1960s Mexico.
Their greed, corruption, and cruelty turn their empire into a nightmare that leaves many people dead. The series chronicles the crimes of the two sisters and portrays the broken society around them. The official logline of the show reads:
“In the style of a journalistic reportage, the series tells the story of pimping sisters María del Jesús and Delfina González Valenzuela, aka “the Poquianchis” (or the Baladro sisters in the book). Their case shocked Mexico in the 1960s and made them part of our country’s great dark legend.”
The cast and crew of The Dead Girls
The show stars Arcelia Ramirez and Paulina Gaitán in the lead roles of the two sisters. Ramirez portrays Arcangela Baladro, and Gaitán plays Serafina Baladro. The rest of the cast includes Joaquín Cosío as Captain Bedoya and Alfonso Herrera as Simón Corona.

The show has been directed by Luis Estrada, who has earlier worked on films like La dictadura perfecta and ¡Que Viva México! Talking about why he chose to bring Jorge Ibargüengoitia’s novel to life, the director said in an official statement to Netflix:
“When I first read Las muertas at the age of 15, my first thought was, ‘I want to make this movie.’ Now, together with Netflix, it is becoming a reality as a series. What Jorge Ibargüengoitia had written was a script waiting to be filmed.”
