Production

The series concept was developed after the COVID-19 lockdown, when the Caballero siblings, with co-writers Daniel Deorador and Araceli Álvarez de Sotomayor, began creating a show about middle-aged men's reactions to social changes. With permission from Mediaset España, the four writers brought the series to Netflix, who had shown interest in collaborating with the Caballeros. Alpha Males was announced in March 2022 as the Caballeros' first exclusive streaming series.

The cast was revealed in July 2022, with filming already completed. Ahead of season 3, the show was renewed for a fourth season, which finished filming in July 2025. A German adaptation was announced, with French, Dutch, and Italian adaptations in production.
