Lo dejamos acá: Darín and Peretti Celebrate Netflix Comeback

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Lo dejamos acá: Darín and Peretti Celebrate Netflix Comeback.

Nearly 20 years have passed since Ricardo Darín and Diego Peretti last shared the screen — in the Argentine mystery series "La señal." Now Netflix reunites them in "Lo dejamos acá," and the promise sounds enticing: black comedy, drama, thriller, an almost-forgotten kiss, and a cameo meant to surprise.

If you're into Argentine cinema or simply good, layered crime entertainment, October 16, 2026, is worth circling. That's when the film launches worldwide on Netflix, following its premiere at the San Sebastián International Film Festival on September 23, 2026. Direction comes from Hernán Goldfrid, who brings experience with playfully Argentine material from "El fútbol o yo" and "Corazón de león."

What is "Lo dejamos acá" about?

The plot, simplified, lives in the world of therapy and blocked creativity. Darín plays a man who, according to Página 12, "questions the ethics in psychology" — Peretti is by his side in a drama that probes creative blocks. Sounds like heavy fare at first, but Clarín frames the film as a blend of "comedy, drama, suspense, and thriller," so it's clearly broader than a pure psychodrama.

In an interview with Clarín, both leads spoke openly about therapy experiences, personal writing and creative blocks — and about the well-oiled rapport between them, which apparently snapped right back into place after nearly two decades away. That chemistry, Infobae argues, is what makes the project click: reuniting "two central figures of Argentine cinema."

In dialogue with Clarín they discussed therapy, creative blocks, and the complicity they share returning to work together.

Almost-kiss, twist, surprise cameo: What the Clarín headline reveals

Clarín's headline teases three moments likely to spark conversation: a "casi beso" (almost-kiss), a "giro inesperado" (unexpected twist), and a "cameo sorpresa" (surprise cameo). What's behind them, the outlet keeps under wraps — otherwise the surprise would be ruined.

What's certain: this isn't the first time the two have landed a streaming hit together. "La señal" already ran on Netflix and remains one of the platform's most-watched Argentine series to this day, as Caras notes in its preview. So "Lo dejamos acá" is less an experiment than a deliberate reunion.

Festival premiere in San Sebastián ahead of the Netflix launch

Before the film becomes available worldwide on Netflix on October 16, 2026 — confirmed by Quever citing the official trailer announcement — it celebrates its world premiere on September 23, 2026, as part of the San Sebastián International Film Festival. Infobae reports from the festival premiere. It's the same venue where other Argentine Netflix productions have found their first audiences in recent years — a familiar quality stamp, if you will.

Is it worth tuning in?

If you liked the back story: yes. The mix of laconic humor, psychology, and a touch of thriller is exactly the profile that has made Argentine cinema consistently work on Netflix in recent years. Whether "Lo dejamos acá" hits the level of "La señal," you'll know after October 16 — and if you want a sneak peek first, the official Netflix trailer is worth a look.
