From time to time, Netflix creates a Spanish production with the potential for massive viewership worldwide, and in 2024, they’ve done it again. “Gangs of Galicia” has quickly risen to the top of global rankings on the platform, establishing itself as one of the most-watched crime series in this year’s catalog.
The show revolves around Ana, a new lawyer starting afresh in Cambados, who encounters Daniel, the son of a major drug trafficker and leader of a dangerous clan.
Tamar Novas, who portrays Daniel, has captivated viewers with his mysterious yet charming performance. Here, delve into everything you need to know about him.
Tamar Novas’ age and nationality
You may have seen Tamar Novas for the first time in the recently released Netflix show, but the truth is, he has been a prominent figure in the Spanish entertainment industry for a long time. The 37-year-old actor was born in Galicia, precisely in Santiago de Compostela, and has been working since he was eleven years old.
With 59 movies and TV shows under his belt, he has already established a very solid career. At just sixteen years old, he won the Goya Award for Best New Actor for his impressive performance in Alejandro Amenábar’s drama “The Sea Inside.”

The actor was first seen with the 24-year-old artist during the European summer of 2023. They were spotted together at a restaurant near the town of Carnota, on the coast of Coruña. Since then, they have continued to make their relationship public, and recently, Novas confirmed it with an Instagram post.
Tamar Novas’ movies and TV shows
It’s a bit challenging to select the most important films of Tamar Novas, but let’s highlight three of his best that you can find streaming in the United States.
Firstly, “Nowhere” is a drama available on Netflix, depicting the story of a pregnant woman who must survive trapped in a container in the middle of the sea after fleeing from a totalitarian and devastated country.
Another Netflix title featuring Novas is “High Seas,” a popular show in Spanish-speaking countries. It follows two sisters who uncover disturbing family secrets amidst mysterious deaths aboard a luxury ship traveling from Spain to Brazil in the 1940s.
Lastly, we recommend “Broken Embraces” by Pedro Almodóvar, considered one of his most acclaimed films. The movie follows Mateo, a film director who loses his sight and wife in a car accident in 1994. He begins a new life in darkness and voluntary amnesia, only to confront love, betrayals, and fate 14 years later. Though it requires purchase for $3.99 on Apple TV+, it’s certainly worth the investment.
