For all Apple TV+ subscribers who haven’t gotten around to watching this yet Acapulcothe streamer’s sun-drenched comedy, which is set in a beautiful resort in Mexico, I would describe the show as a sort of cross between Wonderful years, How I met your motherAnd Ted Lasso. It’s funny, it’s heartwarming, and it will make you want to immediately dig out your passport and book a getaway to Mexico – that is, after you’ve watched all three seasons of the series from creators Eduardo Cisneros, Jason Shuman, and Austin Winsberg.
The latter is also the creator of Zoey’s extraordinary playlistand in retrospect I should probably add that to the list above, because there is also a bit Zoey mood to the great, heartwarming musical moments of this Apple gem. I could bore you to death listing all the things I love about this show, including the way it bridges the Spanish-English divide by having a sort of “house band” of AcapulcoThe fictional resort Las Colinas plays English-language pop songs in Spanish.
Today’s announcement of the renewal of Apple TV+ states, Acapulco is getting a fourth season in 2025, will certainly not surprise those of us who have been fans from the beginning, who have rooted for Maximo and Julia from the beginning; who have wished to have a friend like Memo; who think that Acapulco looks a bit like heaven on earth; and who have loved the generous atmosphere of Acapulco to the kitschy kitsch of Ted Lasso.
“The fact that Apple is releasing a fourth season of Acapulco is beyond exciting,” said star and executive producer Eugenio Derbez, who plays the older version of protagonist Maximo Gallardo. “I am incredibly grateful to our amazing partners, the talented cast and crew, and especially the audience whose love and support have made this journey possible.”
“It’s rare that shows centered around Latino stories make it this far, and that makes this milestone even more meaningful. Representation matters, and Ben Odell and I are deeply proud to continue sharing these vibrant stories on a global stage. Thank you for helping us break barriers and celebrate our culture. We can’t wait to dive back into Las Colinas for even more fun, laughter, and heart with all of you!”
When people say that they don’t make TV shows like they used to, Acapulco is the kind of show they’re talking about. I’ve watched all three available seasons three times now. I’m saying: It helps to be in love when you watch the show, so you can cheer all the louder for the show’s insanely likable and decent characters who keep trying to find romance. But if you’re not currently in love with anyone, that’s fine too; this is going to sound so cheesy, but Acapulco might make you fall in love with the world a little bit.
