Midnight Family Season 1 is coming to Apple TV+ on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, bringing a piece of Mexico City and a fun and hard-working family of paramedics to the small screen.
The series is Apple's first Spanish-language drama and follows a medical student, Marigaby, who spends her nights working in their family-owned private ambulance. However, with her busy schedule — studying in the morning and working in the ambulance all over Mexico City at night — the pressure from both worlds soon threatens to drag her down. But Marigaby is "ambitious and gifted" and will do anything to stay afloat.
Renata Vaca, who starred in Saw X, plays Marigaby in the series and is joined by an impressive list of cast like Quantum of Solace's Joaquin Cosio, Diego Calva and more.
