Apple TV+ has set the two-episode premiere date for the Spanish-language medical drama Midnight Family for Wednesday, September 25. New individual episodes will follow weekly on Wednesdays until November 20.
Inspired by the award-winning documentary of the same name, Midnight Family follows Marigaby Tamayo (Renata 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 (Joaquín Cosío) and her siblings Marcus (Diego Calva) and Julito (Sergio Bautista), Marigaby serves a population of millions by tackling extreme medical emergencies to make a living.
The 10-episode series also stars Óscar Jaenada, José María de Tavira, Itzan Escamilla, Mariana Gómez, Dolores Heredia and special guest Yalitza Aparicio. Cosío is perhaps best known by audiences for his roles in Netflix’s Narcos: Mexico, The Suicide Squad and FX’s The Strain.
Midnight Family is produced for Apple TV+ by Fremantle and Juan de Dios Larraín and Pablo Larraín via their Fabula banner. The project hails from showrunner and director Natalia Beristáin and was created for TV by Julio Rojas and Gibrán Portela. Ángela Poblete and Mariane Hartard serve as EPs along with Natalia Beristáin, as well as Rodrigo Herranz, Christian Vesper, Luke Lorentzen, Kellen Quinn, Josh Braun and Jonathan Bouzali.
