The Proxies Netflix teaser is out today, and it opens with one of the most unsettling hooks of any Netflix teaser this year. On Christmas Eve morning, a man walks into a police station and confesses to killing two or three people. That is not the twist. The twist is the question that follows: why has he decided to turn himself in now, and what does he hope to achieve by doing it?
Netflix unveiled the Proxies Netflix teaser on 4 November 2026, along with first-look images for the Spanish thriller. The film, also known by its Spanish title En Nombre De Otro, will premiere globally on Netflix on December 11, 2026. If you like murder mysteries that keep changing shape, this is one to put on your December watchlist right away.
1. The Proxies Netflix teaser starts with a confession, not a crime scene
Most thriller teasers begin with a body, a chase or a scream. The Proxies Netflix teaser begins with a man calmly walking into a police station. He is ready to confess, but the teaser makes it clear that his confession is only the first move in a much larger game.
That game, according to Netflix, is connected to an impossible murder. The teaser promises a twisted story in which every new revelation threatens to reshape what the audience thinks it knows. It gives away the premise without giving away the pieces that make the puzzle work, which is exactly what a good teaser should do.
2. A Christmas Eve story that turns into an impossible case
The official synopsis sets the scene in a single, chilling paragraph. On Christmas Eve morning, a man walks into a police station and confesses to killing two or three people. Behind his confession lies a harder question: why has he decided to turn himself in now, and what does he hope to achieve with his confession?
From that point, his story soon becomes linked to another seemingly closed case, one that defies all logic. That second case is where the Proxies Netflix teaser hints at its real mystery. Is the confession true, is it a cover for something else, or is it a move in a game that someone else is playing? The teaser does not answer that, and that is the point.
3. Eduard Fernández and Mario Casas lead a strong Spanish cast
The Proxies Netflix teaser is led by Eduard Fernández and Mario Casas, two actors who bring very different kinds of screen presence to a mystery like this. Fernández is known for God’s Crooked Lines and The 47, while Casas is known for The Dinner and The Innocent.
They are joined by Blanca Suárez, Nicolás Francella and Alexandra Jiménez in the lead ensemble. The wider cast also includes Blanca Parés, Javier Beltrán, Marta Bayarri and Ana Wagener. With a cast this experienced in Spanish drama and thriller work, the film does not need to rely on one star alone — the tension can come from how these characters contradict, protect or expose each other.
4. Oriol Paulo is back in the twist-thriller territory he owns
Proxies is directed by Oriol Paulo, the filmmaker behind The Innocent, God’s Crooked Lines and The Invisible Guest. Paulo co-wrote the film with Guillem Clua, and he serves as an executive producer alongside Miguel Ángel Faura, producing with Libertad Ribera and Jaume Martí for Juanita Films.
That track record matters for viewers deciding whether to trust a new teaser. Paulo’s best work is built on deception, shifting perspectives and carefully planted revelations, and the Proxies Netflix teaser leans into exactly that style. A confession that may not mean what it seems, a closed case that refuses to stay closed, and a Christmas setting that turns a familiar holiday into something tense — all of it feels like classic Paulo territory.
Filming took place in the Spanish cities of Reus and Tarragona, in the Catalan region, between November 18, 2025, and April 25, 2026, according to What’s On Netflix. That long, careful shoot fits a film that depends on atmosphere as much as on plot.
5. When and where to watch Proxies on Netflix
Proxies will premiere globally on Netflix on December 11, 2026. There is no theatrical release date announced for the film, and Netflix has presented it as a Netflix Original thriller, so streaming is the way to watch it when it arrives.
That December 11 date puts Proxies right in the middle of the holiday viewing season, and the Christmas Eve setting of its story makes the timing feel deliberate. If the full trailer lands in the coming weeks, expect more clues about the impossible murder at the centre of the film — but for now, the Proxies Netflix teaser is the first real look, and it already asks the question the whole film seems built around: what does a confession hide?
