Nathalie Poza as Adela
Nathalie Poza Maupain is a Spanish actress who plays the role of Adela in Rage season 1. Tina’s unemployed mother, Adela, faces eviction alongside her elderly mother at the start of the series. This makes her situation increasingly desperate as the series unfolds.

Candela Peña as Nat
Candela Peña portrays Nat in Rage season 1, a high-fashion shop assistant whose position at the department store is threatened because of corporate ageism and discrimination. Despite working for the store for over 30 years in a successful career in luxury retail, she finds herself being pushed out as the company replaces its older staff with younger employees.
However, her connection to the wealthy clientele, including Marga, becomes unexpectedly significant as the series's revenge plot connects.

Pilar Castro as Vera
Vera, Marga’s loyal friend and a media-loving chef who runs her own restaurant, suddenly faces professional ruin at the start of Rage season 1. Played by Pilar Castro, she watches as her culinary career starts to collapse towards ruin after a particularly harsh critic, whose negative review threatens everything she has created.
However, her increasingly desperate measures to save her reputation and career test her strong support network as well as her passion for being a chef.
Castro is a versatile Spanish actress with an extensive career in film, television and stage productions over the course of her career. She landed her debut TV performance in the 1996 show Este es mi barrio and became well known after her performances in Fat People (2009) and El premio (2011), among others.

A forgotten star from the 1970s skin flick era, Victoria finds herself back in the spotlight, albeit under false pretences, while trying to get back into show business. Portrayed by Cecilia Roth in Rage season 1, Victoria earns what looks to be the chance at the comeback she has been looking for.
However, she discovers that the opportunity is not at all what it seems. Instead of being given a chance at a comeback, it’s a cruel deception designed to humiliate her, which pushes her to contemplate revenge on those who wronged her.
Roth is an Argentine-Spanish actress who began her career in Argentina and acted in several productions there before fleeing the military dictatorship to Spain. Since then, she has had great success with acclaimed roles in Las verdes praderas, Arrebato, Laberinto de pasiones, and Un lugar en el mundo, among others.

What is Rage season 1 all about?
Created and directed by Félix Sabroso, Rage season 1 (Spanish title: Furia) revolves around five women who are pushed to their limits by various forms of social injustice and manipulation. However, when faced with extreme situations like extortion, oppression, deceit, exclusion, and manipulation, they begin their own journeys of revenge that interconnect with each other.
Each story develops a butterfly-like effect, with each conflict leading into another, which has seen many dub the series as an anthology more than a mini-series.
The Spanish show features Marga, a wealthy artist whose husband is having an affair, Vera, a media-loving chef whose restaurant faces closure, Nat, a high-fashion shop assistant whose job is threatened, Adela, an unemployed mother facing eviction, and Victoria, a forgotten skin flick actress who falls victim to a cruel deception.
