Hulu has revealed a first look at the original drama series La Máquina, starring Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, Eiza González, Jorge Perugorría, Andrés Delgado, Karina Gidi, Dariam Coco, and Lucía Méndez.
La Máquina is Hulu’s first-ever Spanish-language Original series and will debut on October 9, 2024.
After a devastating loss, Esteban “La Máquina” Osuna (Gael García Bernal) is at a low point in his boxing career. Lucky for him, his manager and best friend Andy Lujan (Diego Luna) is determined to get him back on top.
But when a nefarious organization rears its head, the stakes of this rematch become life or death. While struggling to mount a comeback, Esteban must also juggle his own personal demons and protect his family, including his ex-wife Irasema (Eiza González), a journalist who finds herself on a collision course with the dark side of the boxing world.
The series is produced by Searchlight Television and Gael García Bernal (Y tu mamá también, Coco) and Diego Luna’s (Y tu mamá también, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Pan y Circo, Andor) banner La Corriente del Golfo, and will stream on Disney’s DTC platforms as a Hulu Original in the U.S.
Marco Ramirez (Daredevil) serves as executive producer and showrunner, with Bernal, Luna, Gerardo Gatica, Leandro Halperín, Adam Fishbach, and Kyzza Terrazas onboard as executive producers. Gabriel Ripstein (600 Miles, An Unknown Enemy) directs the show.
