David Farnor | On 12, Oct 2022
Apple TV+ is checking back into the Las Colinas resort this week, and a new trailer gives us a first look at the return of Acapulco.
The Spanish and English-language comedy 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. He soon realises the job is far more complicated than he ever imagined and in order to succeed, he must learn to navigate a demanding clientele, a mercurial mentor, and a complicated home life, without losing his way to shortcuts or temptations. It unfolds in 1984, with Eugenio Derbez narrating and playing the present-day version of Máximo.
Season 2 picks up right on the heels of Season 1. 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 present day, older Máximo returns to Acapulco to make peace with the recent passing of Don Pablo, and he is forced to confront some unfinished business young Máximo left behind.
Returning for the 10-episode second season are Fernando Carsa (Memo), Damián Alcázar (Don Pablo), Camila Perez (Julia), Chord Overstreet (Chad), Vanessa Bauche (Nora), Regina Reynoso (Sara), Raphael Alejandro (Hugo), Jessica Collins (Diane), Rafael Cebrián (Hector) and Carlos Corona (Esteban).
You can see them in action on 21st October, when the first two episodes premiere on Apple TV+, with new episodes then arriving weekly until the finale on 18th December.
