T’Nia Miller stars as Susan McLean in the six-part limited series, La Fortuna. The new adventure thriller premieres exclusively on AMC+ on January 20 with two episodes. New episodes will then continue to stream weekly, every Thursday.

In La Fortuna, Álex Ventura, a young and inexperienced diplomat, unintentionally becomes the leader of a mission that will put all his convictions to the test: to recover the sunken treasure stolen by Frank Wild, an adventurer who travels the world plundering items of common heritage from the depths of the sea. Forming a unique team with Lucía, a combative public official, and Jonas Pierce, a brilliant American lawyer with a passion for old pirate tales, Álex sets out on the adventure of a lifetime, on which he learns about the importance of love, friendship and commitment to your own beliefs.

Miller’s other television work includes The Haunting of Bly Manor, Years and Years, Free Rein, Banana, Doctor Who, Born to Kill, Witless, Sex Education, Foundation, Hatton Garden, Marcella, Silent Witness, Guilt, as well as Cucumber. She can also be seen in Obey, Stud Life, Nine Nights, Dark Corners, and The Disappeared.
