Trailer revealed for new podcast about Juan Gabriel, ‘Mi Divo’ premieres July 1

Apple TV+ announces “My Divo,” the first Apple Original podcast to be released in both English and Spanish, premiering the first two episodes of the eight-part series globally on July 1, 2024. The legacy of Mexican icon Juan Gabriel, also known as El Divo de Juárez, serves as a guide for “My Divo” host and award-winning journalist Maria Garcia as she goes back to her hometown roots. “My Divo” is the first Apple Original podcast to be a part of the Apple TV+ connected subscription, which gives subscribers early access to all eight episodes of “My Divo” on release day.

Garcia, creator of the critically acclaimed podcast “Anything for Selena” for which she was named Apple Podcasts’ 2021 Newcomer of the Year, hails from the same hometown as local hero turned global star Gabriel and looks to his legacy as she tries to reconcile with her own identity, reexamining their similarities within their Mexican heritage.

Singer, songwriter and pop icon Gabriel was a Latin music trailblazer known for his eccentric, colorful style and high-energy performances. Gabriel sold over 100 million albums, making him one of the bestselling artists in Mexican history. “My Divo” explores Juan Gabriel’s personal life and public persona, discovering new important details about his life, including how his sexuality was perceived and the impact it had on his legacy.
