Following its globally acclaimed second season, the hit Apple Original comedy series starring and executive produced by Emmy and SAG Award winner Eugenio Derbez, has been picked up for a 10-episode third season, set to go into production this spring.

"We at 3Pas Studios are thankful to Apple TV+, the perfect home for 'Acapulco,' along with our production partner Lionsgate, filmmakers and cast and crew," said star and executive producer Eugenio Derbez. "We have always believed that the stories we tell about our communities and cultures can resonate with global audiences, so crank up the AC, it's about to get a lot hotter at Las Colinas Resort."


"We've seen an overwhelming response from audiences all over the world who have fallen in love with 'Acapulco,'" said Morgan Wandell, head of international programming for Apple TV+. "Eugenio, Austin, Ben, Eric, Kim and the talented cast and crew behind 'Acapulco' have created a feel-good show that has a lot of heart, emotion and laughs, and we can't wait to bring even more of that into season three."
