Today, Apple TV+ debuted the trailer for Midnight Family, the 10-episode Spanish-language medical drama hailing from showrunner and director Natalia Beristáin, and created for television by Julio Rojas and Ariel Award winner Gibrán Portela.
The hour-long series will make its global debut on Apple TV+ with two episodes on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, followed by one new episode every Wednesday through November 20, 2024.
Midnight Family features an entirely Hispanic cast and crew led by Ariel Award winner Joaquín Cosío (Narcos: Mexico), Renata Vaca (Dale Gas), and Diego Calva (Babylon), and introduces Sergio Bautista.
The series also features the special participation of Goya Award winner Óscar Jaenada (Hernán), José María de Tavira (El Candidato), Itzan Escamilla (Élite), Mariana Gómez (The Queen of Flow), Dolores Heredia (Capadocia) and special guest, Academy Award nominee Yalitza Aparicio (Roma).
Inspired by the award-winning documentary of the same name, Midnight Family follows Marigaby Tamayo (Vaca), an ambitious and gifted medical student by day who spends her nights saving lives throughout a sprawling, contrasted, and fascinating Mexico City aboard her family’s privately owned ambulance.
Along with her father, Ramón (Cosío), and her siblings, Marcus (Calva) and Julito (Bautista), Marigaby serves a population of millions by tackling extreme medical emergencies to make a living.
Midnight Family is produced for Apple TV+ by Fremantle and Fabula.
The series is produced by Juan de Dios Larraín and Pablo Larraín through Fabula, the production company behind the Academy Award-winning film A Fantastic Woman. Ángela Poblete and Mariane Hartard serve as executive producers along with Beristáin.
Rodrigo Herranz, Christian Vesper, Luke Lorentzen, Kellen Quinn, Josh Braun and Jonathan Bouzali also serve as executive producers.
The project marks the second collaboration for Apple TV+, Fremantle, and Beristáin, who previously directed episodes of the Apple Original series The Mosquito Coast.
