Cast

Production and release

''Código fuego'' was created by Víctor Mato and Juanjo Díaz Polo and was produced by Cartel for Antena 3. Directed by Eva Lesmes and Miguel Ángel Díez, the series began filming in December 2002. It premiered on 15 January 2003, earning a 24.8% audience share. It was axed out by Antena 3 after the 6th episode, broadcast on 26 February (which earned a 14.1% share), reportedly because it "had not met the network's audience expectations", leaving 2 unaired episodes. The series proved to be one of the biggest blunders of the television season.
