The 10-part comedy is set in Mexico City and focuses on four couples who are friends and in long-standing relationships but one day decide to become swingers. The fallout forces each character to address their decisions and question their outlook on sexuality and monogamy.

Production is already under way on the show, which is set to land this fall in the US on Lionsgate- and Hemisphere Media Group-backed Pantaya and internationally on Amazon Prime Video.

It will feature an ensemble cast including Maite Perroni (Cuidado Con El Angel), Humberto Busto (El Chapo), Marimar Vega (La Boda de Valentina) and Sebastián Zurita (Ciudadano Buelna).

The Game of Keys was created by Marisa Quiroga and developed by Patrick McGinley and Sandro Halphen, alongside Amazon and Pantaya. Fernando Lebrija (Amar a Morir) will direct. It is produced by Pantaya and Corazón Films, with the latter’s Eckehardt von Damm, Roberto Fiesco and Halphen exec producing alongside Fernando Lebrija.
