Nine Bodies In A Mexican Morgue has a delicious concept and an incredible cast. So it’s great news that the BBC has acquired it for UK viewers.
In the six-part series, a plane carrying a small group of passengers, crew and pilot, crashes in the Mexican jungle. All the bodies are recovered and placed in a morgue… but it turns out that only one of them died in the crash. The other passengers were murdered afterwards, each one in a unique way. But by whom? And why? As the story unfolds in flashback, we meet the survivors as they fight against the heat, a shortage of supplies, the many dangers of the jungle…and each other. The setting becomes increasingly tense and claustrophobic as, one by one, they are dispatched with a series of shocks that bring us ever closer to the truth and – at the very end – a jaw-dropping reveal.
The ensemble cast includes Eric McCormack, David Ajala as Zack, Lydia Wilson as Sonja; Peter Gadiot as Carlos; Siobhán McSweeney as Lisa; Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as Travis; Adam Long as Dan, and Jan Le as Amy.
Filming recently started in the Canary Islands, so hopefully this might make it over before the end of the year.
