Óscar Casas and the Quiet Movie "Deseo" That’s Now Coming to Netflix

Netflix

Who Is Óscar Casas and What Has He Been Doing?

Imagine a young actor who is super popular right now. That’s Óscar Casas!

• Early in 2026, he released a movie called Ídolos (a film about motorcycle racing) with Ana Mena.
• Ídolos made more than 2 million euros at the box office (that means people paid that much to see it in cinemas).
• He is seen as one of the most wanted actors of his generation (people really want to work with him).
• He has more projects coming:
  • A new film directed by his brother Mario Casas called A puño descubierto.
  • In that film, the two brothers play siblings who love boxing and secret, illegal fights.

The Movie "Deseo" That Almost Nobody Saw

In May 2026, Óscar was also in another movie that most people missed.

• It’s called Deseo (which means "Desire").
• It is an erotic thriller (a suspense movie with romance and grown-up themes).
• It was made together by Mexico and Spain.
• It was the first movie directed by Teresa Simone (her debut as a director).
• Sadly, it did not do well in cinemas:
  • Only 1,443 people went to see it.
  • It made just 9,826 euros total.
  • These numbers come from ICAA (a Spanish group that counts movie viewers and money).

Important Point: Even though Deseo flopped in theaters, it is getting a second chance online!

Deseo Is Coming to Streaming

Good news for people at home:

• Netflix will add Deseo to its catalog on Friday, July 17, 2026.
• This means anyone with Netflix can now watch it easily.

What Is Deseo About?

The movie stars two main people:

• Óscar Casas plays Matías.
• Ludwika Paleta plays Lucero. (She was born in Poland but grew up in Mexico and is very successful there.)

Here is the story in simple steps:

1. Lucero is a successful lawyer who seems to have a perfect life.
2. But inside, she feels more and more empty.
3. She meets Matías, the new swimming teacher for her kids.
4. Matías is much younger than Lucero.
5. They feel a special connection and start a romance.
6. This totally shakes up Lucero’s life.
7. Things get even harder when Lucero’s daughter also falls in love with Matías.
8. Now the romance threatens:
   • Her marriage
   • Her career
   • Her whole family’s unity
9. Lucero must decide how far she is willing to go.

What Óscar Casas Said About His Character

In an interview with Crónica Global (during the cinema release), Óscar explained his role:

• He said Matías is just a boy chasing his desire (like the movie title).
• Matías feels things in a pure and honest way.
• He likes Lucero and is free to love.
• Óscar thinks the “guilt” is more on Lucero and her family’s side.

Óscar’s Thoughts on How Sex Is Shown in Movies

Óscar also shared his opinion about sex scenes in films:

• He feels movies are becoming very divided:
  • Either no sex at all (which he is fine with).
  • Or very explicit sex that feels like porn and “mainstream” (made for the mass audience), which he does not like.
• He says that kind of mainstream sex is:
  • Not positive
  • Not part of the story
  • Not real
  • Does not add anything
• But in Deseo, he says it was different:
  • The director showed sex through eroticism and truth.
  • It avoided fake poses and just being “pretty.”
  • It showed the real desire and feelings between the woman and the boy.

Important Point: Óscar believes Deseo shows desire in a real and honest way, not in a fake or overly explicit style.

Summary

Óscar Casas is a very busy and popular young Spanish actor. His movie Ídolos was a big hit, but his Mexican-Spanish film Deseo was ignored in cinemas with only 1,443 viewers. Now, Deseo gets a new life on Netflix starting July 17, 2026. It tells the story of Lucero, a lawyer who falls for her kids’ younger swimming instructor Matías, causing family chaos. Óscar says his character is honest about desire, and the film shows intimacy truthfully rather than in a fake, explicit way.
