The series attempted to retell old fairy tales "to show its relevance in the 21st century with a new approach".[1]
Produced by Eyeworks España for Antena 3, Edi Walter and Fernando Bassi were credited as executive producers.[8] "Los tres cerditos" was directed by Miguel Ángel Vivas,[9] "Blancanieves" by Iñaki Peñafiel,[3] "Caperucita Roja" by Fernando Bassi,[10] "Hansel y Gretel" by Salvador Calvo,[11] and "La bella y la bestia" by Alberto Ruiz Rojo.[12][13] Shot in 2011, the series was shelved by Antena 3 for a while.[1] The broadcasting run lasted from 10 November 2014 to 8 December 2014.[1]
The series sparked an American remake developed by Kevin Williamson: Tell Me a Story.[14]
