“If we’re doomed, we’re doomed together.” Hulu has unveiled an official trailer for a new series titled La Máquina (which just translates to The Mask) created by TV writer Marco Ramirez. It’s also produced by and stars Gael García Bernal & Diego Luna through their own production company, with a streaming debut this October on Hulu. “Winning has a price.” The sports series follows an aging boxer whose crafty manager secures one last shot at a title – with a fight coming up in 12 weeks. But if they want to make it to fight night, they must navigate a mysterious underworld force and the boxer’s own ailing mind… The cast features Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, Eiza González, Jorge Perugorría, Andrés Delgado, and Karina Gidi, Dariam Coco + Lucía Méndez. This really makes me want to recommend Gael García Bernal’s wrestling film Cassandro. The series looks pretty generic until the psychological thriller elements kick in. Take a look.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Marco Ramirez’s series La Máquina, direct from Hulu’s YouTube:
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 & 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 & 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. La Máquina is a series created and showrun and written by veteran TV writer Marco Ramirez, who developed the recent “The Twilight Zone” reboot for CBS, and a writer on “Sons of Anarchy”, “Orange Is the New Black”, “Da Vinci’s Demons”, “Fear the Walking Dead’, “Daredevil”, and creator of “The Defenders”. Featuring episodes directed by Gabriel Ripstein. Produced by Searchlight Television and Gael García Bernal & Diego Luna’s banner La Corriente del Golfo. It’s executive produced by Ramirez, Bernal, Luna, Gerardo Gatica, Leandro Halperín, Adam Fishbach, and Kyzza Terrazas. Hulu will debut La Máquina series streaming on Hulu starting October 9th, 2024 this fall. Anyone want to watch?
