Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the real-life events it depicts, Season 2 of “Every Minute Counts” is now available for streaming on Prime Video. The show, which first premiered in November 2024, covers the hours following the 8.1-magnitude earthquake in Mexico City and its aftershocks, focusing on both everyday people and high-ranking officials.
The second season continues with Dr. Ángel trapped in rubble as his condition remains unknown. Rescue efforts are stalled by government decisions, while Pepín and other students volunteer at their collapsed school. Meanwhile, Camila uncovers a secret involving the army as an aftershock looms.
Returning cast members for this season include Osvaldo Benavides, Maya Zapata, Antonio de la Vega, Miriam Balderas, Jesús Zavala, Azalia Ortiz, and Luis Fernando Peña. New additions to the cast feature Gerardo Trejoluna and Lucila Olalde. The series is directed and co-written by Jorge Michel Grau alongside writers Alfredo Félix-Díaz, Victoria Orvañanos, Natalie Quevedo, Alejandro Valenzuela, and Venancio Villalobos.
“Every Minute Counts” is produced by Amazon Studios and Traziende Films.
