Before you dismiss Welcome To Eden as just another survival show on Netflix, let us tell you that it is all that and more. The show mixes weird cult activities with the stranded on an island trope. The show will immediately remind you of other shows like The Wilds and Lost. But the closest is probably, Showtime’s Yellowjackets. Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López’s directed Spanish thriller has already gained enough traction on Twitter. Let’s find out what the series is about. 

What is the plot of the Spanish thriller?

Five young social media influencers, Zoa, Aldo, Ibon, Charly, and Africa are invited to this exclusive party on a remote island. A new drink brand, Eden Blue is sponsoring the mega event. Judith also tags along with Zoe. As soon as they land on the island, they are served the new mysterious drink. Unknown to them, the drink is laced with drugs to knock them unconscious. The next day they wake up with a hangover and foggy memories. All alone on a deserted island, only a drone guides them to Astrid and her husband Erik. They sent out the invitations. The quick change in the tone and events, tell you that something is afoot. The five influencers have no idea that they are trapped on this island with no way to escape.
