But soon he realizes that the gig is far more complicated than he ever imagined as all of his beliefs and morals start to be questioned.
The show takes place in 1984, with Derbez narrating and playing the present-day version of the main character. Also reprising his role from the movie is Alejandro, who plays Hugo, Older Maximo’s nephew. For more, read the full Deadline report.
