What Is New World About?
The premise of New World without spoilers.
A virgin statue fashioned by an indigenous artist becomes a tool of Spanish conquest. In the late 1500s, Spanish colonists in the New World struggle to convert native peoples, whose deep‑rooted beliefs resist Christianity. The Inquisition intensifies persecution of perceived heretics while the indigenous communities rally toward a widespread revolt.
