The Surrogacy cast: Who’s in the Mexican Netflix series?

The Surrogacy is the latest Mexican drama series to come to Netflix, and everyone’s talking about it. If you’ve added this show to your watchlist and plan to watch it soon, we must share who you can expect to see in it.

The Surrogacy, originally titled Madre de alquiler, is a new Netflix original created by Aída Guajardo. It landed on the streaming platform on Wednesday, June 14, and has already made a place on the top 10 TV show list. As of June 16, the drama series is ranked at the No. 2 spot. However, this isn’t really surprising because the show tells a thought-provoking story and has an amazingly talented cast.

It tells the story of a young woman named Yeni, who is coerced into being a surrogate for a powerful, affluent Mexican family in order to save her father’s life. But after she wakes up in a hospital and is given a baby born with a physical disability, Yeni becomes determined to uncover the truth by confronting the family. She soon finds herself entangled in a world of lies and deceit.

So, who portrays the role of Yeni? What about the other characters? We shared the main cast list below.
