Production

edit

The series was announced in early January 2021 by TV Azteca, as part of Azteca 7's new programming for 2021; it was originally going to be called Contratiempo.[10] The production of the series began filming on March 17, 2021, taking into account hygiene and safety measures in light of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico, and the title of the series will be changed to 24 horas para vivir.[11] A mass was also held to celebrate the start of filming, which was attended by the production team, actress María José Magán, executives Rafael Urióstegui and Adrián Ortega, as well as writers Héctor Forero and David Mascareño.[12]

The series marks the return of TV Azteca to fiction production, to which the V.P. of production and programming of Azteca 7, Adrián Ortega, expressed his happiness for the restart of these fiction formats.[3]

In May 2021, the series was presented by TV Azteca Internacional at the LA Screenings 2021, now called Un día para vivir as the official title of the series, having confirmed a total of 60 episodes produced.[13] On May 13 of the same year, PRODU's official website launched the official trailer for the series.[14]
