Apple TV+'s Midnight Family is an all-Spanish original medical drama set in Mexico City. The series is based on a 2019 documentary of the same name, starring Renata Vaca and Ariel Award winner Joaquín Cosío.

The series revolves around Marigaby Tamayo, a talented medical student who uses her family-owned ambulance to save people across the city. The series has the following official synopsis:

"Marigaby Tamayo is an ambitious medical student who spends her nights saving lives throughout a sprawling, contrasted and fascinating Mexico City aboard her family's privately owned ambulance."

Midnight Family will premiere globally on September 25, 2024, on Apple TV+. The series will open with a two-episode premiere followed by a weekly release of single episodes every Wednesday. To stay true to its narrative and setting, Midnight Family stars several Hispanic actors, including Vaca, Cosio, and Diego Calva.
