Apple TV+ today gave the green light to Acapulco Season 2, extending their stay at the Las Colinas resort in the hit comedy series.
The Spanish and English-language series stars executive producer Eugenio Derbez, who recently took home a SAG Award as part of the ensemble of Apple Original Film CODA.
Acapulco Season 2 will begin production this spring, once again filming on location in Mexico.
Acapulco tells the story of twenty-something Máximo Gallardo (Enrique Arrizon), whose dream comes true when he gets the job of a lifetime as a cabana boy at the hottest resort in Acapulco. Season two picks up right on the heels of season one.
In 1985, Máximo must contend with upheaval at the resort, unexpected problems at home, and a new love interest who just might rival the girl of his dreams.
In the present day, Older Máximo (Eugenio Derbez, who also narrates the series) arrives in Acapulco, where he encounters various people from his past — for better and worse.
The ensemble cast starring alongside Derbez includes Enrique Arrizon, Fernando Carsa, Damián Alcázar, Camila Perez, Chord Overstreet, Vanessa Bauche, and Regina Reynoso.
The cast is rounded out by Raphael Alejandro, Jessica Collins, Rafael Cebrián, Regina Orozco, and Carlos Corona.
Hailing from Lionsgate Television, Acapulco is inspired by 3Pas Studios and Pantelion Films’ box office hit How to Be a Latin Lover and is produced for Apple by Lionsgate Television, 3Pas Studios, and The Tannenbaum Company.
The series was created by Austin Winsberg, Eduardo Cisneros, and Jason Shuman. Chris Harris serves as the showrunner.
Winsberg, Cisneros, Shuman, and Harris also serve as executive producers on the project. Jay Karas serves as an executive producer and director.
In addition to starring, Derbez serves as executive producer alongside Ben Odell and co-producer Sonia Gambaro on behalf of 3Pas Studios. Eric and Kim Tannenbaum executive produce along with Jason Wang on behalf of The Tannenbaum Company.
