Season 2 of “Every Minute Counts” is now available for streaming on Prime Video, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the earthquake that inspired the series. The show, which debuted in November 2024, focuses on the hours following an 8.1-magnitude earthquake in Mexico City and its impact on both ordinary citizens and government officials.
The new season continues the story as Dr. Ángel remains trapped under rubble with no updates on his condition. Rescue efforts are still stalled by government actions, while Pepín and his classmates join volunteer efforts at their collapsed school. Meanwhile, Camila uncovers a secret involving the army amid fears of another aftershock.
Returning cast members include Osvaldo Benavides, Maya Zapata, Antonio de la Vega, Miriam Balderas, Jesús Zavala, Azalia Ortiz, and Luis Fernando Peña. New additions to the cast are Gerardo Trejoluna and Lucila Olalde. Jorge Michel Grau directs and co-writes this season alongside Alfredo Félix-DÍaz, Victoria Orvañanos, Natalie Quevedo, Alejandro Valenzuela, and Venancio Villalobos.
The series is produced by Amazon Studios in partnership with Traziende Films.
