Allí abajo (English: Down there) is a Spanish television comedy series produced by Plano a Plano for Antena 3. Although it is compared to successful film Ocho apellidos vascos, creators César Benítez and Aitor Gabilondo claim they had on their minds the concept of the show long before the movie, and that it has more in common with French film Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis. It premiered to more than 6 million viewers on a simulcast airing on Antena 3, Neox and Nova, becoming the most-watched series premiere of a Spanish television show since Aída in 2005 and the best series premiere for an Antena 3 show since Compuesta y sin novio in 1994.
On May 26, 2015 the series was renewed for a second season.
The series revolves around Iñaki (Jon Plazaola), a 30-year-old Basque man who has never left Euskadi. He lives in San Sebastián with his mother Maritxu (Ane Gabarain), the classic absorbent, dominant Basque matriarch who sees Iñaki as a perennial child unable to move forward in life on his own. Iñaki runs a bar he inherited from his father, where his only affective exchange is the weekly game of mus with his longtime friends, although Nekane (Alazne Etxebarria), the waitress, is madly in love with him but fails to tell him time and time again.
One day, Iñaki is forced to join his mother in a trip to Seville, a trip he definitely isn't ready for. Nothing will ever be the same for him once he finds himself stuck "down there".
The original music score is composed and produced by Cesar Benito
Note: Episode 1 was simulcast on Antena 3, Neox and Nova.
