Apple TV+ takes Spanish seriously

Now & Then may be the first Spanish series made by the streaming platform, it is not the first Spanish-language series to appear on Apple TV+. The first one was the Mexican comedy Acapulco.

In March of this year, the company also announced it would produce another Spanish-language series called Midnight Family.

The production will be based on the documentary of the same name that "explores the streets of Mexico City together with the Ochoa family, whose ambulance service deals with life or death situations every night."

That series will air 10 episodes and star Mexican actress Yalitza Aparicio and Joaquín Cosío (known for his performance in the series Narcos: Mexico).
