Apple TV+ today announced that the second season of the global hit comedy series “Acapulco,” starring and executive produced by SAG-Award winner Eugenio Derbez, will return on Friday, October 21, 2022. The two-episode season premiere will be followed by a new episode every Friday.
Season two picks up right on the heels of season one, telling the story of 20-something Máximo Gallardo (played by Enrique Arrizon), 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 the right-hand man of Diane. Meanwhile, in present day, older Máximo (Derbez) 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 in the 10-episode second season are returning stars Arrizon, Fernando Carsa (as 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).

This show was clever; funny; well acted; and well scripted……for about the first 4-5 episodes. The writers must have changed hands or ran out of ideas because after that it became a silly caricature of Mexican culture and behaviors.
Sure, I get it that the premise was that dumb and ill-behaved rich white people sweep into the resort and act like fools. I can live with that, I am a white, sometimes foolish person. But the woke-isms and the LGBT repetitions and the garish fools that they present as working class Mexicans drove us away from watching it any further. And BTW, I’m married to a woman from Mexico who grew up in the USA, and she agrees with me.
