Hulu has thrown a powerful punch with the release of the first-look images for its highly anticipated Spanish-language Original series, “La Máquina.” The series, starring Hollywood heavyweights Gael García Bernal, Diego Luna, and Eiza González, is set to captivate audiences when it premieres with all six episodes on October 9, 2024.
“La Máquina” follows the gritty journey of former boxing champion Esteban Osuna, played by the charismatic Gael García Bernal. After suffering a career-altering defeat, Esteban finds himself at a crossroads, both personally and professionally. His loyal manager and best friend, Andy Lujan (Diego Luna), is determined to help him reclaim his former glory. However, when a dangerous criminal organization enters the picture, their comeback becomes a high-stakes battle for survival.
Adding to the drama is Esteban’s ex-wife, Irasema (Eiza González), a fearless journalist who uncovers the dark underbelly of the boxing world. As she digs deeper, Irasema puts herself in harm’s way, forcing her to confront the dangerous consequences of her pursuit of the truth.
Joining the star-studded cast are Jorge Perugorría, Andrés Delgado, Karina Gidi, Dariam Coco, and Lucía Méndez, who bring depth and complexity to the series.

The series is executive produced by Marco Ramirez, who serves as showrunner, alongside Bernal, Luna, Gerardo Gatica, Leandro Halperín, Adam Fishbach, and Kyzza Terrazas. Acclaimed director Gabriel Ripstein brings his signature style to the project.
