## Synopsis

Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue (2025) is an American limited series created by Anthony Horowitz for MGM+. Eric McCormack plays Kevin Anderson, one of nine strangers whose small plane, flying from Guatemala toward the United States, crashes into a remote Mexican jungle. David Ajala as Zack Ellis and Lydia Wilson as Sonja anchor the surviving passengers, while Ángel Silva as Captain Primero Gabriel Vega leads the search for answers beyond the trees. The engine of the story is simple and relentless: the survivors must work out who among them is the killer before the next body turns up. Each episode tightens the trap with suspicion, shifting alliances and hidden motives, all played out in a single isolated setting. Told in six episodes, it is a self-contained mystery with a tense, claustrophobic mood and a steady dread that builds toward its answers. Its tone is suspenseful and paranoid, with bursts of violence and grim discovery. Fans of Lost, And Then There Were None and The Night Manager will find resonance in its isolated peril and whodunit pressure. Set in the present day of its 2025 broadcast in a remote Mexican jungle, it is a grounded thriller where every survivor is a suspect.
