Produced by the dynamic duo, Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, this show is based on a bestselling thriller novel by the incredibly talented Silvia Moreno-Garcia. After the book made waves for its spine-tingling plotline about a young woman trying to save her newlywed cousin, Kelly and Mark saw the potential for an unforgettable TV experience. But what’s the story behind this mysterious tale?

Here’s the scoop: Kelly, who’s always on the lookout for great reads, couldn’t help but rave about this book to her Instagram followers. She described it as the "literary jackpot." The novel follows a young woman named Noemí Taboada, who embarks on a journey to the Mexican countryside and the rugged mountains of Hidalgo in the 1950s. It all starts when she receives an urgent letter from her cousin. Now, Noemí isn’t your typical damsel in distress. She’s sharp, fearless, and ready to take on whatever comes her way.

From Page to Screen
The magical world of Mexican Gothic is currently in development at Hulu, and Silvia Moreno-Garcia herself has been named an executive producer alongside ABC Signature and Milojo Productions, the production company run by Kelly and Mark. Silvia, whose impressive portfolio includes bestsellers like Gods of Jade and Shadow, Certain Dark Things, Untamed Shore, and Signal to Noise, is thrilled about the project. "I am excited to see the novel come to life and to meet the talented, diverse crew and cast members that will take us on this unforgettable journey," she gushed. And Hulu? They’re just as excited, saying they "cannot wait to bring Silvia’s gorgeous writing to life."
While the series may take some time to hit our screens, fans are already buzzing with excitement. If it’s anything like Mark and Kelly’s previous projects, like Riverdale and the adaptation of Geek Girl Rising: Inside the Sisterhood Shaking Up Tech, we’re in for a treat. These two know how to bring stories to life, and with Mexican Gothic, they’re proving that they’ve got a knack for picking projects that resonate with audiences.
