Go Team!: The New Spanish Dark Comedy on Netflix About Corporate Survival
Netflix released the Spanish comedy film Gracias, equipo, distributed internationally as Go Team!, on September 11, 2026. The film immediately secured the top spot among the most-watched movies on Netflix Spain and crossed five million views, opening as a satirical take on corporate team-building retreats that devolve into survival competitions when employees discover impending layoffs.
Directed by Diego Núñez Irigoyen and written by Adolfo Valor and Cristóbal Garrido, the 93-minute film centers on Tío Mochales, a struggling traditional cheese producer in Spain. To reconnect staff with corporate values, the ambitious director Pepa—played by Maribel Verdú—organizes a mandatory rural retreat in the company’s founding village. As reported, workers soon learn that the company faces a takeover by an international corporation and a massive reduction in workforce.
Pastoral Setting Mocks Corporate Vocabulary
The pastoral setting provides an ironic contrast to the cutthroat behavior of the staff. Activities initially designed to foster camaraderie, such as milking cows against the clock, playing human chess, or chasing cheese down a hill, quickly transform into strategic trials.
The narrative uses this pressure cooker environment to mock contemporary corporate vocabulary, including motivation, leadership, and productivity. Alexandra Jiménez stars as Olga, an employee returning from maternity leave who re-enters a transforming corporate structure. The ensemble cast also features Pedro Casablanc as Domingo, Raúl Tejón as Marco, alongside Blanca Martínez, Ismael Fritschi, Víctor Rebull, Saturnino García, and Pepe Viyuela.
Zeta Studios Produces Feature Near Madrid
Zeta Studios produced the feature, continuing the company’s track record of high-profile Spanish fiction for the streaming platform, following previous projects like Élite. Production on the film began in September 2025 around Madrid, leading up to its September 2026 platform debut. Creators Adolfo Valor and Cristóbal Garrido previously collaborated on television projects such as La vida breve and Días mejores, with Núñez Irigoyen stepping into feature-length directing after helming episodes of television.
The film maintains its focus on the friction between official corporate messaging and the precarious reality faced by modern workers.
