Eric McCormack Loves anything to do with secrets – and it’s just as good, because of its new show Nine bodies in a Mexican morgue full of them.
The actor, 61, plays Kevin in the new MGM+ series that follows nine strangers stuck in a Mexican jungle after surviving an aircraft accident. But, in a plot spiral: Although they may have been made alive following the initial air disaster, the survivors are beginning to be secretly killed one by one while the others race to find out why – and try to avoid the same fate.
Talking to Weekly US. McCormack admits He loves the mystery and curiosity associated with the show and its character.
“The important thing about a show like this, but especially the way Anthony Horowitz Write this one, is that everyone has a secret and we don’t see, we’re not confidential with what it is, ”he said of the show, which falls on Sunday, March 2. They are all mysterious characters for us and to each other. And that’s what I loved. I love anything with secrets. “
This is the busiest time of the TV year with shows like Grotesquerie and the perfect couple starting the fall season. The perfect couple, based on Elin Hilderbrand’s novel of the same name, focuses on a wedding weekend in Nantucket that doesn’t go exactly as planned. Most of the details have been (…)
He added: “With Kevin from the beginning, he obviously has something traumatic in his past that he can’t talk about. And he is obviously a doctor, but not really willing to carry that forward. So, why? “
While the show can be placed in the Mexican jungle, Nine bodies in a Mexican morgue It was actually filmed in the Canary Islands, Archipelago which is part of Spain. McCormack drops his own secrets around the reality of filming in the area.
“It’s a terrible secret to tell, but the truth is the island we shot on, there’s no jungle there. It is a volcanic. So it’s mostly a first -class studio, ”McCormack shares with Us.
He added, “Just created this amazing jungle for us to be in.”
Interestingly the jungle of the crew created for Nine bodies in a Mexican morgue Was so realistic that he started forming his own ecosystem, according to McCormack.
“That is, bugs crawling on us, and I was shouting at props going, ‘Did you provide bugs?’” He remembers, before the realization dawned on him that he did himself. “He began to feel more and more real.”

Weekly USStill, the beautiful filming location itself was enough for McCormack to jump on the chance of signing on the dotted line.
“Before I read the script, it was, he shoots in the happy islands and I said yes,” he admits Us. “And that doesn’t give your agents much to discuss with.”
In addition to the stunning scenes to enjoy while at work, the international location also came with other benefits for McCormack, including bonding capacity with his fellow -Casters, which includes David Ajala, Peter Gadiot and Siobhán McSweeney. As they all worked away from their home cities, they ate lunch together almost every night and formed friendship from the outset.

McCormack recalls that the cast shot the opening scene – which includes a dramatic plane crash – on day one, and it happened that the day after the cast member’s birthday Lydia Wilson.
“I think there are two hours into drinks (the night before filming started) and he said, well, this is the most beautiful way to spend my 40th birthday,” said McCormack. “We went, ‘What? Today? ‘She said,’ Yes, today, but don’t do a thing. So we had to blow that out a little and get a little birthday party, then the next day we had the day to scream and hold seats and it was a fire trial. “
The dramatic plane crash was not the only difficult part of filming Nine bodies in a Mexican morguethough. McCormack says that filming the show has also come with some other challenges.
“There is a scene that was actually quite real where one of the characters falls away from the side of a mountain, and I’m trying to hold on to it,” he said of one of his toughest scenes to shoot. “And that was the heat of a hundred degrees and then a lot of shots. It’s probably the most challenging. “
Apart from the physical scenery physically, McCormack is teasing that there is an emotional scene that contains his character Kevin and learns more about what his “deal” is also a difficult one to shoot.
McCormack adds that remote filming on an island makes to portray their “stuck” characters on the screen a little more realistic, however.
“When you’re all trapped in space, a lot of the acting takes care of himself somewhere,” he said.
