Azul Guaita Breaks Out in Netflix’s My Daughter’s Father: What to Know
Azul Guaita — the actress in My Daughter's Father — might be new to you, but who is she?
At the center of the new Netflix drama My Daughter’s Father is teen patient Julieta — played by rising Mexican actor Azul Guaita — whose desperate search for a kidney donor uncovers a family- shattering truth. The twist lands when tests reveal Julieta’s dad isn’t her biological father, detonating secrets that pull every character into the blast radius.
The show follows Maca, a successful doctor and Julieta’s mother, as she scrambles for a transplant match and watches her home life unravel. It ’s a tight, soap‑leaning thriller built on medical urgency and messy relationships, carried by a cast that keeps the tension high across a lean season.

Meet Azul Guaita
Born in 2001 in Mexico City, Guaita isn’t a newcomer — she’s been quietly building a résumé that primed her for a breakout like Julieta. Netflix viewers may recognize her from the teen drama Rebelde, where she played Jana Cohen, one of the students competing in Elite Way School’s Battle of the Bands while juggling crushes, rivalries and school politics.
- Rebelde — Jana Cohen (Netflix; the revival ran for three seasons)
- Like Water for Chocolate — played Tita in the TV adaptation
- Zoomers
- Killer Women (Mujeres asesinas)
- La Negociadora
- Soltero con hijas
- Clase 406 — appeared as a child
That combination of teen‑show cred and melodrama chops helps explain why Julieta pops here: she’s the storyline’s moral and emotional barometer as adults around her scramble, lie and make impossible choices.
Reception to My Daughter’s Father has been mixed, but Guaita’s turn — along with a sturdy ensemble — is the show’s glue as it barrels through betrayals and medical cliffhangers. All 10 episodes are now streaming on Netflix.
