Netflix has added a chilling new entry to its true-crime library with the release of The TikTok Killer (also known as El Asesino de TikTok). Premiering on March 6, 2026, the two-part series dives into the disappearance of 42-year-old Esther Estepa. She vanished in Spain in 2023 after meeting José Jurado Montilla, a social media personality who gained notoriety for more than just his online videos.
The documentary follows Estepa’s family as they tirelessly search for answers across Spain. Their investigation eventually leads them to Jurado Montilla, whose "Dynamite" persona on TikTok masked a violent criminal history. According to reports from TIME and Screen Rant, the series reveals that Jurado Montilla had previously been convicted of multiple murders in the 1980s before his eventual release and transition to social media stardom.
As the series unfolds, viewers see how digital footprints and TikTok posts played a pivotal role in the police investigation. The production features interviews and evidence that piece together Estepa’s final known movements alongside the man who claimed to be her friend. The case highlights the potential dangers lurking behind curated online identities, making it a high-priority watch for true-crime enthusiasts this month.
