‘At Midnight’: Anders Holm, Whitney Cummings, Catherine Cohen, Casey Thomas Brown & More Join Paramount+ Rom-Com

EXCLUSIVE: Anders Holm (Workaholics, How to Be Single), Whitney Cummings (Whitney, Made of Honor), Catherine Cohen (Dating & New York, The Lovebirds), Casey Thomas Brown (The Kominsky Method, upcoming Father of the Bride), Maya Zapata (Selena’s Secret), Fernando Carsa (Acapulco) and Ricardo Esquerra (Narcos: Mexico) have joined Diego Boneta and Monica Barbaro in the cast of At Midnight, a Paramount+ original film from director Jonah Feingold (What Are We?, Dating & New York), which has entered production in Mexico.

At Midnight is a romantic comedy about two people who do their best not to fall in love. It’s centered on Alejandro (Boneta), who lives a predictable life according to plan, and Sophie (Barbaro), a beautiful rising movie star with an unreliable celebrity boyfriend. During a visit to Mexico’s beach to shoot scenes for her new movie, Super Society, Sophie falls in love with the hotel manager. Neither of them will be able to avoid falling in love and going against all odds.
