Irene Ferreiro

In 2018, Ferreiro was cast as Cristina "Cris" Soto Peña in the Movistar+ series, Skam España, based on the Norwegian teen series, Skam. The second season of the show centered around her character, Cris, and her growing romantic connection with a mysterious new girl at school named Joana, played by musician Rizha. In a break from the traditional Skam, where a season centers around the romance of two teenage boys, España chose to have the storyline revolve around two teenage girls, and the topics of bisexuality, borderline personality disorder, familial struggles, and dealing with problems and decision-making through Cris, Joana, and their relationship.[3][4]

For its third season, which centered around the characters of Nora and Viri, two of Cris' best friends, Skam España was awarded the "Cima TV Award for Equality" from the FesTVal de Vitoria for how it promoted themes of feminism and empowerment to a youth audience.[5]

The same year she was cast in Skam España, she also appeared in the short film, Noche de paz, playing the role of Ivan's daughter.[6] The film was directed by Santiago Requejo. In 2019, she starred in the Playz miniseries, Circular, as Blanca Colomina.[2]

In 2022, Ferreiro starred in the horror movie, Piggy, as Claudia, one of the tormentors of the main character who gives her the nickname "Piggy," starring alongside Claudia Salas from the Netflix series, Elite.[2]

She also has an upcoming role in the movie, El silencio de Marcos Tremmer, directed by Miguel García de la Calera, which is set to be released sometime in 2023.[2]

In 2020, the Spanish arm of the Penguin Random House editorial group published a book of poems and illustrations written and drawn by Ferreiro, titled Voces que se ahogaron en el silencio, which translates to Voices drowning in silence in English.[2] The book is described as "a story that tells her vision of feminism, LGBT rights, success, friendships, relationships... An illustrated book that makes the conflicts of the new generation visible."[7]

Ferreiro created her own brand, called KEI Concepts by Irene Ferreiro, in 2021. The brand sells shirts, pants, socks, hats, and purses, among other things. Items can only be bought through their virtual storefront, which is headquartered in Madrid.[8] The brand also has an official Instagram account.[9]

In 2022, Ferreiro began to release original songs. Between 2022 and 2023 alone, she has released six singles: No Aceleres, Guapo Descarao, Duelo, bonnie&clyde, Fácil, and Millones. The producer for each of her songs is Chickjuarez. Music videos are released via her personal YouTube channel.[10][11]
