Is it based on real events?

CONTINUE AFTER ANNOUNCEMENT

Yes, the story of The Secret of the Greco Family is based on a true story about the Puccio family. This story takes place in Mexico, but the series is actually an adaptation of the popular 2015 Argentine series Historia de un Clan.

That’s also a big reason why this new series from Netflix is a co-production between Mexico and Argentina.

In the original Argentine series, the heads of the family were portrayed by Alejandro Awada and Cecilia Roth. If you’ve watched this series, I don’t think this new adaptation will have many surprises, although some things have been changed.

The real crimes, however, are still very much related to the true story of the Puccio family.

• The Greco family is based on the Puccio family

The names and locations may have changed, but the Greco family in The Secret of the Greco Family is obviously based on the Puccio family.

The Greco family is staging their crimes in the 1980s in Jalisco, Mexico. In the real history of the Puccio family, the crimes also took place in the early 1980s, but in Argentina. They lived in a big house in San Isidro, which is a wealthy suburb of Buenos Aires.

The Puccio family consisted of the father, mother and their five eldest children (three sons and two daughters). In the Netflix series, the Greco family is formed by the father, mother and their four children (two sons and two daughters).

A real-life son of the Puccio family was a star rugby player. In this Netflix series, the son is a star polo player. You get the gist – the details have changed, but the big picture remains the same.
