Disney’s Searchlight TV is developing a new series, ‘La Máquina’, which is going to be a Spanish-language boxing series for Hulu in the United States and it will be a Star Original for Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ internationally.

“La Máquina” follows an ageing boxer, who will be played by Gael García Bernal, whose crafty manager, played by Diego Luna, secures him one last shot at a title.  But to make it to fight night, they must navigate a mysterious underworld force.

According to Deadline, Andrés Delgado has joined the cast in a recurring guest role.  He will be playing Saul, who is described as too sweet for the cut-throat world of professional sports but with sincere affection for Andy and Esteban (Gael García Bernal).  Andrés has previously starred in “An Unknown Enemy” and “Sierra Madre“.

Gerardo Gatica, Leandro Halperin and Adam Fishbach will also be producers on the show.

No details have been revealed on when this series will be released.
