Eva Longoria’s new travel series, Searching for Mexico, has received a release date in the UK.
The Desperate Housewives star will front a six-part series from the makers of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, with the first episode now premiering on October 8.
The show follows Longoria as she visits different regions to show how ancient meets modern in Mexico’s cuisine, and how significant each region’s food is to its culture.

“Her culinary discoveries from each stop on her tour tell stories that span centuries, of dishes exported across the world, and of cultural legacies that run through generations.”
The star will also travel to Mexico City, which is described as her “second home”, as well the mountainous landscapes of Oaxaca and the ports of Veracruz, with a voyage to the borders also part of her itinerary.
“As a Mexican-American, this show allowed me to connect with my roots in a profound way, exploring the rich culinary heritage of the land of my ancestors,” said Longoria of the project. “Through this journey, I discovered the magic that lies within Mexican cuisine, where history, culture, and flavour converge.
“I can't wait to share the stories, traditions, and the incredible diversity of Mexican food with audiences on BBC Two and iPlayer. It's a celebration of Mexico's culinary legacy, and I hope it inspires everyone to embark on their own culinary adventures.”
