There’s more Mexican history in Eugenio Derbez’s future.
Apple TV+ has renewed the bilingual comedy series Acapulco, starring the 62-year-old Mexican actor and comedian, for a fourth season.
The series tells the story of twentysomething 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.
In Season 3 of the series inspired by the 3Pas Studios and Pantelion Films’ feature How to Be A Latin Lover, past mistakes were reconciled with exciting new beginnings.
In the present story, older Máximo (Derbez) returns to a Las Colinas he no longer recognizes. While in 1985, younger Máximo (Arrizón) continues his climb up the ladder of success while potentially jeopardizing all the relationships he’s worked so hard to build.
In addition to Derbez and Arrizon, the ensemble cast of Acapulco includes Fernando Carsa, Damián Alcázar, Camila Perez, Vanessa Bauche, Regina Reynoso, Raphael Alejandro, Jessica Collins, Chord Overstreet, Rafael Cebrián, Regina Orozco, and Carlos Corona.
Season 3 also welcomed special guest stars Jaime Camil and Cristo Fernandez.
“Having Apple order a fourth season of Acapulco is beyond thrilling,” said star and executive producer Derbez. “I’m incredibly grateful to our amazing partners, the talented cast and crew, and especially to the audience, whose love and support have made this journey possible. It’s rare for shows centered on Latino stories to make it this far, and that makes this milestone even more meaningful.
He added, “Representation matters, and continuing to share these vibrant stories on a global stage is something Ben Odell and I are deeply proud of. Thank you for helping us break barriers and celebrate our culture. We can’t wait to dive back into Las Colinas for more fun, laughter, and heart with all of you!”
Acapulco is produced for Apple by Lionsgate Television, 3Pas Studios, Zihuatanejo Productions and The Tannenbaum Company.
In addition to starring in the series, Derbez serves as executive producer alongside Odell.
The series is created by Austin Winsberg, Eduardo Cisneros and Jason Shuman.
