this has been Manel Llunell's professional career

After participating in several short films and music videos, in 2016, Manel Llunell appeared for the first time on TV3, where he played a small supporting role in Cites. A year later, Manel appeared in the series directed by Berto Romero, Mira lo que has hecho.

However, Manel Llunell's big opportunity came in 2021 with the premiere of Moebius.

After these two audiovisual projects, Eduardo Casanovas noticed Manel to become one of the protagonists of his second feature film, La Piedad. In the latter, Manel Llunell plays Mateo, a young man diagnosed with a malignant glioblastoma and subjected to brain surgery.

This 2024, Manel Llunell hasn't stopped working. The young Catalan actor has presented the film Bird Box Barcelona, a science fiction film produced by Netflix. In addition, last September, Manel presented the thriller Cicatriz, based on the novel of the same name by Juan Gómez-Jurado.
