“In the Mud” is an Argentine series that revisits the world of “El Marginal” by focusing on the lives of women in prison. It has been available on Netflix since August 14, 2025.

In the Mud (En el barro), a spin-off from El Marginal (2016-2022), has finally arrived on Netflix. Created by Sebastián Ortega, this series plunges subscribers back into the ruthless world of prison life, this time with a focus on the experiences of female inmates, providing a fresh perspective compared to the original series.

The show revisits themes such as corruption and underground power struggles, but from a different viewpoint. In the Mud skillfully blends continuity with novelty. Alongside Ana Garibaldi, who returns as Gladys, the wife of Borges, viewers will see familiar faces like Valentina Zenere (Élite) and new stars like María Becerra, an Argentine pop sensation.

What is the Plot of In the Mud?

The series kicks off with a dramatic incident. As several inmates are being transferred to La Quebrada prison, their vehicle crashes into a river. Five survivors emerge, covered in mud. Upon reaching the high-security prison, they encounter power abuses and hostility among the various “tribes” that dominate the daily lives of the prisoners. La Quebrada even becomes the setting for a bizarre underground operation: a “virtual brothel.” Using cunning and adaptability, these survivors inadvertently form a group known as “Las embarradas” (“the muddied ones”).
