This article analyzes all fiction series and miniseries produced and broadcasted in Spain on linear and digital television channels as well as video-on-demand platforms in the period 2000–2020. The aim is to collect, quantify, classify, and characterize Spanish-produced television series. A methodology with a mixed, quantitative–qualitative design is proposed to quantify, classify, and categorize the 545 identified fictional works. The resulting database includes fields for the year of first broadcast, format, genre, platform, channel, number of episodes and seasons, duration, and rating. This taxonomy is the first to present a complete characterization of all fictional series produced and broadcasted in Spain during the digital era. Based on the results, three periods can be distinguished: the development of the series, the economic crisis of 2008, and the arrival of video-on-demand platforms in Spain. It is concluded that comedies have been overwhelmed by other major genres, such as dramas or police series. Television series are adapting to the new society that consumes them, portraying its social debates, fears, and aspirations through new themes while also reducing their length, mixing some genres with others, and with an increasing presence and prominence of female characters to the detriment of men. Resumen Se recopilan, cuantifican, clasifican y caracterizan las 545 series y miniseries de ficción de producción española, emitidas por los canales de televisión lineal, digital y las plataformas de vídeo bajo demanda, en el período 2000-2020. Se propone una metodología con un diseño mixto: cuantitativa y cualitativa. Se ha creado una base de datos que incluye los campos: año de estreno, formato, género, plataforma, canal, número de episodios y temporadas, duración y valoración. De esta manera se propone, por vez primera, una taxonomía que considera la caracterización completa del total de las ficciones seriadas españolas emitidas en España durante la era digital. Los resultados distinguen tres periodos por: el desarrollo de la ficción televisiva, la crisis económica de 2008, y la llegada de las plataformas de vídeo bajo demanda al país. Se concluye que las comedias han sido desbordadas por otros géneros mayoritarios, como los dramáticos o los policiales. La ficción de televisión se adapta a la nueva sociedad que las consume, retratando a través de temáticas novedosas sus debates sociales, sus miedos y sus aspiraciones. Se ha reducido su duración, mezclando unos géneros con otros y concediendo cada vez más presencia y protagonismo a personajes de mujeres en detrimento de los hombres.
