El ministerio del tiempo (English title: The Ministry of Time) is a Spanish fantasy television series created by Javier [es] and Pablo Olivares and produced by Onza Partners and Cliffhanger for Televisión Española (TVE). It premiered on 24 February 2015 on TVE's main channel La 1.[1] The series follows the exploits of an investigative team in the fictional Ministry of Time, which deals with incidents caused by time travel that can cause changes to the present day.

On 24 March 2015, it was confirmed that TVE had renewed the series for a second season.[2] The show was renewed for a third season on 22 September 2016.[3] On 29 December 2016 it was announced that RTVE had sold the rights to Netflix to broadcast the third season internationally, outside of Spain, resulting in a bigger production budget.[4]

The series was renewed for a fourth season, which started airing on Televisión Española on 5 May 2020.[5] It was known that HBO has acquired the broadcasting rights for the series, at least on HBO Spain[6] and HBO Portugal.[7]
