Locked Up is Netflix’s English-language title for the Spanish thriller Vis a vis. It follows Macarena, a woman manipulated into financial crime who is sent to prison and must learn how to survive there. The title can refer to other works, so this guide identifies the series before explaining how to check whether it is available to watch in your region.
Which Locked Up is this?
This article is about the Spanish television thriller Locked Up, known by its original title, Vis a vis. Netflix lists it as a Spanish thriller, while Atresmedia’s international-sales catalogue pairs the titles as VIS A VIS / LOCKED UP. Netflix’s title page and Atresmedia’s catalogue entry identify the series.
The phrase is not unique to the show: Universal Music Canada announced a Sam Hunt EP titled Locked Up in 2024. If you are searching a streaming service or search engine, adding “Vis a vis” helps distinguish the series from other works with the same name. Universal Music Canada’s announcement documents that separate release.
What is the series about?
Macarena is manipulated by her boyfriend into embezzling funds, then convicted and sent to prison. The story follows her adjustment to life inside and the pressures she faces from other inmates. The premise is a prison-survival thriller rather than a story about a literal lockup or a video game. Netflix describes the setup and tags the series with crime, prison, and heist genres; Atresmedia’s synopsis also centers on Macarena’s betrayal and entry into a women’s prison.

Who is in Locked Up?

Check the title in licensed services available where you live, starting with Netflix’s local listing. The cited catalogue information does not establish that the series is currently available worldwide, that every season is offered in every country, or what subscription plan is required. Streaming catalogues and plan conditions can change, so confirm the details in your own account before subscribing for this title.
Rank #2
- Pandora's Clock - Killer Viruses on Board the 747 (Pandora's Clock, Spain Import, See Details for Languages)
- Easy to use
- Durable and strong
- Search for both Locked Up and Vis a vis; services may display one title or the other.
- Check that the seasons you want are included in the local listing rather than assuming a catalogue entry means the full run is available.
- Review audio and subtitle choices on the service itself. Netflix’s listing gives Spanish (Spain) as the original audio and includes English subtitles among the listed options, but language choices may vary by region.
An Apple TV catalogue listing independently identifies the series as a Spanish production from 2015 and names Antena 3 as studio. That is platform catalogue metadata, not a complete production history. Apple TV’s listing provides that entry.
