Apple TV+ has revealed a first look at the second season of the Acapulco series, starring and executive-produced by Eugenio Derbez. The second season will premiere with two episodes on Friday, October 21 and new episodes will follow every Friday.
The 10-episode second season picks up right on the heels of season one, telling the story of twenty-something Máximo Gallardo, whose dream comes true when he scores the job of a lifetime as a cabana boy at the hottest resort in Acapulco, Las Colinas.
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. Under Don Pablo’s guidance, he sets his eyes on one day running the entire Las Colinas operation by becoming Diane’s right-hand man.
Meanwhile, in the present day, Older Máximo returns to Acapulco to make peace with the recent passing of Don Pablo, where he is forced to confront some unfinished business young Máximo left behind.
Joining Derbez (Older Máximo) in the Acapulco series are returning stars Enrique Arrizon (Máximo), Fernando Carsa (Memo), Damián Alcázar (Don Pablo), Camila Perez (Julia), and Chord Overstreet (Chad).
The cast also includes Vanessa Bauche (Nora), Regina Reynoso (Sara), Raphael Alejandro (Hugo), Jessica Collins (Diane), Rafael Cebrián (Hector), and Carlos Corona (Esteban).
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, Zihuatanejo Productions, 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.
