Production and release[]

Génesis: en la mente del asesino was produced by Ida y vuelta.[3] The episodes were directed by  [es], Juan González and Javier Quintas,[3] whereas the writing team was formed by Darío Madrona, Diego Sotelo, Andoni de Carlos, José Antonio Valverde, Aitor Gabilondo, Carlos Vila, Javier Holgado and José Luis Latasa.[5] Gregorio Quintana and Jorge Redondo were credited as executive producers.[5] The series premiered on Cuatro 3 May 2006 and it earned "good" viewership ratings in the first episode (1,127,000 viewers and 6.1% share), above the channel's average.[8] The episodes featured a running time of 50 minutes (rather than the 70 minutes traditional for prime time Spanish television titles).[9] Despite the waning interest, the series was renovated for a second season.[7] Fanny Gautier, Juana Acosta, Enrique Arce and Roger Coma were added to the cast to compensate for the leaving of Verónica Sánchez.[7]
