Zusammenfassung

This article seeks to determine the evolution of trans representation in Spanish television fiction and, specifically, in the TV series All about Dafne (HBO Max, 2021) created by Abril Zamora. To this end, a qualitative methodology was used to conduct a bibliographic review, and the textual analysis of the main character – Dafne - as person, role and actant; together with other categories related to the gender identity. In addition, the audio-visual features of the presentation and sex scenes are examined. The findings show a progressive increase in the quality and inclusion of trans characters in the Spanish audio-visual sector. The narrative in All about Dafne (HBO Max, 2021) is not exclusively characterised by Dafne’s trans status, which is included in the plots in an organic and complementary way with other characteristics that define the protagonist. This TV series is configured as a reference in the representation of the trans collective in fiction, and it contributes to the political and social attention, and the fight against transphobia. Accordingly, this research represents an original contribution from the Television Studies and Queer Theory approach, which prompts future investigation regarding other TV series.
