Netflix has released a new show about surrogacy and the issues surrounding it when it is not done legitimately
The show is set in Mexico on 2004 – a time when surrogacy is still illegal in Mexico, but that does not stop an influential and corrupt family from finding their perfect baby.
Created by Aída Guajardo (Yo No Creo en los Hombres, Para Volver a Amar, Cachito de Cielo, Alma de Hierro), the drama The Surrogacy revolves around an Indigenous woman who’s pressured into surrogacy to save her father.
Against her will, Yeni (played by Shani Lozano) becomes entangled with an affluent family who will protect their reputation at all costs.
The series was directed by Walter Doehner Pecanins and Jorge Ríos Villanueva, and stars newcomer Shaní Lozano.
A young woman named Yeni becomes a surrogate for Julia and her husband, Carlos, heir to a powerful company, Huizar Pharmaceuticals.
Yeni didn’t plan to become a surrogate, but she desperately needs the money to save her father, Múbú, from an unjust prison sentence after he defended his daughter from a carjacking — which, as it turns out, was staged by the Huizar family, who then coerced her into carrying Carlos’ child.
After giving birth months later, Yeni wakes up in a public square with a baby in her arms.
To find out what happens check out the 24-episode series now.
