The third act of Karla Sofía Gascón is underway. After an unstoppable ascent to the Oscars, the time for redemption is now. The 52 -year -old Spanish actress begins to recover the favor of the public and the profession timidly, with steps that show that, although it has not been done with the Oscar, her career does not have to be finished and that they can be forgotten as a stumble on the road.
After, now Gascón has been seen with another very important support within the industry: that of the CEO (CEO) of Netflix, Ted Saraonds. The executive director of the world’s most famous content platform, the same one he bought in the United States, has talked about Gascón in a long interview and has granted his forgiveness, stating that he would return to work with her without a doubt. A fundamental support in the career of Alcobendas and that can suppose his forgiveness in the world of cinema.
Saraonds, 60, has made those statements in an interview granted in Los Angeles to the media specialized in entertainment, on the occasion of its 25 years in the company, which by mail to its subscribers to a global content platform with 300 million subscribers and a value of more than 400,000 million dollars in the stock market.

Netflix has made a millionaire campaign; The specialized media suggest that it has spent more than 20 million dollars in promotion of the film, which came to be nominated for 13 Oscar but hence the company would bother when the messages of the actress, and to go to more events in the film. After his controversial messages, in the middle of the awards season prior to the Oscars, Gascon went out to defend himself, but the harsh criticism, especially the director of the film and finally, as compensation to that silence, Netflix decided to remove the veto and gascon in a first step for his return.
At the moment, Gascón has the adaptation of . Five days after those messages in X came to light, she commented that she had “signed projects” that were going to move on.

And later, if I have to make a living with something else, I will do it. What I will not allow is to shut up so as not to be able to defend myself.”
But little by little Gascón is raising the flight. She, who felt for the industry, is going back.
