Mercedes Ron Discusses Prime Video’s New YA Romantic Thriller ‘Drawn Together’ and What’s Next for Her — Image via headtopics.com,

From bestseller to blockbuster: the ‘House of Ron’ leaps from page to screen

The author behind the record‑smashing ‘Fault’ trilogy is teaming up with Carolina Bang’s Pokeepsie Films for a major new venture – a first‑ever U.S. adaptation of the beloved ‘House of Ron’ saga, now streaming on Prime Video in more than 240 territories. The film follows Marfil Cortés (played by Expósito), the New York‑based heir of a wealthy Spanish magnate, who is kidnapped and rescued by hired bodyguard Sebastián Moore (Garcia). As they fend off a cascade of threats that trace back to Spain, a fierce attraction ignites, turning a high‑stakes rescue into a pulse‑pounding romance. Produced by Pokeepsie – the brainchild of director Álex de la Iglesia and actress‑producer Carolina Bang – the project benefitted from the author’s hands‑on role in casting and script development. She championed Ester for Marfil and praised García’s real‑life fighting skills, noting the instant chemistry that sealed his place as Sebastián. The blend of thriller action and emotional depth aims to draw not only the author’s core female readership but also a growing legion of male fans attracted to the film’s gritty momentum. Shot back‑to‑back with its sequel, the two‑part shoot kept the same crew and cast, preserving continuity and allowing the story to unfold as a seamless whole. While the next release date remains under wraps, the partnership between the author, de la Iglesia, and Bang has already delivered a film the creator calls her “best‑ever” adaptation, setting the stage for more ‘House of Ron’ chapters to hit the big screen.

The cliffhanger that left fans breathless—and what the stars say about the sequel’s darker turn

Ester Expósito and Hugo Diego García admit they deliberately left Drawn Together on a literal high‑wire, stopping “right at the peak of the movie with the best moment.” Both actors say the ending’s hanging‑in‑the‑air feel was meant to keep audiences on edge, and they’re confident fans will love the surprise twist that propels the story into the sequel, Drawn Apart, where the stakes become “higher, more intense and quicker paced." When the duo talk about Sebastian’s hidden agenda, García describes playing a secret as “acting inside an acting role,” a challenge that forces the character’s interiority to stay under the surface. Expósito notes that Marfil’s rapid forgiveness of Sebastian’s betrayal stems from her empathy and maturity, framing their romance as a swift, regret‑free connection that fuels the thriller’s momentum. Beyond the intrigue, the film’s physicality shines through the actors’ off‑screen training. Expósito, a lifelong dancer, improvised a ballet sequence on set after just a month of rehearsals, swapping her salsa comfort for a “beautiful” but demanding routine—complete with sock‑sliding mishaps that thankfully never led to a fall. Meanwhile, the fight training between Marfil and Sebastian added a tangible layer of communication, letting the pair “know each other” through movement rather than dialogue, a dynamic both actors say enriches their on‑screen chemistry.

Drawn Together rockets to Prime Video’s top spot, outpacing Gal Gadot’s flop

Just days after its September 9 debut, the romantic‑action thriller Drawn Together vaulted to No. 1 on Prime Video in both the U.S. and worldwide, according to FlixPatrol. The surprise surge knocked Gal Gadot’s The Runner—still reeling from a record‑low Rotten Tomatoes score—off the streaming throne, setting the stage for a heated showdown before the platform’s next big release, The Love Hypothesis, lands on September 23. The film follows Marfil Cortés, the daughter of a wealthy Spanish magnate who’s kidnapped and later released, prompting her father to enlist Sebastian Moore as a bodyguard. What begins as a clash of wills quickly ignites an “irremediable” attraction as the pair navigate a treacherous world of hidden identities. Starring Elite’s Ester Expósito as Marfil and Hugo Diego García from The Substance as Sebastian, the movie is directed by Óscar Pedraza and scripted by Sofía Cuenca, adapting the Enfrentados duology by Mercedes Ron—the same author behind the My Fault: London series. While Drawn Together hasn’t yet earned a Rotten Tomatoes score, early buzz is promising: three of the six available reviews are positive, hinting at strong word‑of‑mouth momentum. Backed by producers Álex de la Iglesia and Carolina Bang, the romance‑thriller blends high‑octane action with heartfelt chemistry, proving that Prime Video’s sweet spot for “high‑octane action and heartwarming romance” still has room for fresh, chart‑topping contenders.

Ester Expósito Is Just Like Her ‘Drawn Together’ Character—Except When It Comes to Love — Image via glamour.com,

Ester Expósito swaps mascara for punches in her first romance thriller

When Netflix star Ester Expósito was offered the lead in Amazon Prime’s new Spanish‑language duology Drawn Together, she hesitated. Known for her breakout role in the teen drama Elite, the 26‑year‑old had steered clear of YA projects and had never done a romance film. The script, however, intrigued her by turning the classic bodyguard trope on its head – a stubborn heiress who learns to fight back after a kidnapping, rather than waiting to be rescued. To embody Marfil’s fierce independence, Expósito dove headfirst into boxing lessons with co‑star Hugo Diego Garcia, a former trainer who taught her the moves on set – even during a night off in a Madrid nightclub. The actress admits she never imagined enjoying the sport, yet the training mirrored her character’s journey from novice to defender, adding a gritty, ’90s‑inspired edge to the film’s visual style. Beyond the punches, Expósito also embraced a more natural look, ditching mascara and opting for smudged ’90s‑era lip liner to capture the era’s romantic thriller vibe. She says the shift reflects a broader move away from heavy makeup, favoring fresh skin and a clearer, brighter presence both on and off screen. As she looks ahead to the sequel, the star is ready to keep fighting – both in the ring and in love.
