Currently playing exclusively on Paramount+ is the romantic dramedy At Midnight, directed by Jonah Feingold and starring Monica Barbaro, Diego Boneta, Anders Holm, Whitney Cummings, Maya Zapata, Catherine Cohen, & Casey Thomas Brown.
A charming romantic comedy, AT MIDNIGHT centers around Alejandro (Diego Boneta), an ambitious hotel manager, and Sophie (Monica Barbaro), a movie star navigating the politics of Hollywood. He’s focused on opening his own boutique hotel. She’s trying to focus on shooting her new superhero film, “Super Society 3,” in hopes of getting her own spinoff, but catches her co-star (and boyfriend!) Adam (Anders Holm, “Workaholics”) cheating. Fate strikes when the shoot brings them all to Alejandro’s hotel in Mexico. Despite their radically different lives, Alejandro and Sophie begin to secretly meet At Midnight ...
AT MIDNIGHT also stars Casey Thomas Brown as Chris, Sophie’s talent manager and old friend; Catherine Cohen as Rachel, Sophie’s loyal and free-spirited best friend; Fernando Carsa as Tachi, Alejandro’s best friend and bartender at the hotel; Whitney Cummings as Margot, a powerful Hollywood agent who represents both Sophie and Adam; and Maya Zapata as Aurelia, the hotel manager and Alejandro’s strict boss.
Barbara recently played Phoenix, the only female fighter pilot in the blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, one of the Paramount Pictures biggest films for 2022. She also starred in 2017’s “Chicago Justice” and 2018’s “The Good Cop.”
Boneta most recently wrapped a successful three-season run on the Telemundo/Netflix bio-series Luis Miguel: The Series, portraying the titular multi-Grammy Award-winning singer. He was last seen opposite Andy Garcia, Gloria Estefan, Isabela Merced, and Adria Arjona in The Father of the Bride.
