In a Deadline exclusive, during the LA screenings held at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, Sony has announced that Fox’s medical drama Doc, which has been its most-watched debut since 2020, according to mxdwn, will now have a Mexican adaptation. Cast for the lead role will be Juan Pablo Medina (House of Flowers, Dad Wanted), an amputee and survivor of a silent heart attack on set that led to several clots threatening his life.

Medina is not only an actor and producer but is also credited for composing the theme music for Klass 95: The Power of Beauty. Deadline reports that the Mexican adaptation has also cast Gabriela de la Garza (Dragon Ball Evolution, Yago), Stephanie Cayo (Force of Nature, Yucatan), Iván Sánchez(Backseat Fighter, Culpa Mia), Erick Chapa (Pact of Silence, Paquita la del Barrio), and Giuseppe Gamba (Human Resources, Atrapada).

The US version on Fox has been widely applauded. mxdwn reports that it has already been renewed for a second season of 22 episodes. The series has just premiered in January. The show is loosely based on the real events of an Italian doctor, Pierdante Piccioni, who lost twelve years of his memory to a vehicle accident in 2013. There is also an Italian adaptation of the show.

Fox’s American version is set in Minneapolis, Minnesota, although the show is actually filmed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This is just another example of why President Trump has ordered a 100 percent tariff on movies made outside of the country. Canada and other countries offer incentives for movies to be produced in their country, such as refundable tax credits. According to Reuters, Trump has called this “a concerted effort by other nations and, therefore, a national security threat.” Maybe Sony Pictures Television and FOX Entertainment Studios will consider filming the second season in beautiful Minneapolis.

According to Deadline, the Mexican adaptation will follow Andres Ferrara, the head of internal medicine, who has lost his memories, yet this time the twist is that he lost them in an assassination attempt. The LA Screening also included an Outlander prequel, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, and the Peacock comedy The Miniature Wife.
