British actor Matthew Broome said the success of the original Spanish series 'Culpa Mia' increased pressure on the UK remake 'My Fault: London'.
This tension highlights the challenges of adapting global hits for specific regional markets. As Prime Video brings the story to a British audience, the production team must balance the established popularity of the source material with a new cultural setting.
Broome said these challenges during the Monte-Carlo TV Festival in June 2026 [1]. He said that the high expectations following the original series' performance created additional pressure for him and his co-star, Asha Banks [1]. The project aims to translate the emotional beats of the Spanish hit into a London-based narrative while maintaining the appeal that made the original a success [2].
During the festival, Broome was recognized for his work, receiving the Most Promising Talent award [1]. The recognition comes as he navigates the transition from rising star to the lead of a high-stakes international remake [3].
While some sources refer to the original Spanish series as 'Culpa Mia' [1], others have referred to it as 'Culpables' [4]. Regardless of the title, the impact of the original series remains the primary driver of the current pressure felt by the UK cast [2]. The remake's ability to capture that same lightning in a bottle will be a key metric for Prime Video's regional strategy.
“The success of the original Spanish series 'Culpa Mia' increased pressure on the UK remake.”
The pressure described by Broome reflects a broader trend in streaming strategy, where platforms like Prime Video leverage proven international intellectual property to reduce risk. By remaking a hit Spanish series for the UK market, the studio is betting on a pre-existing formula, but this creates a 'benchmark' problem where the new version is inevitably compared to a global success.
