Title: Acapulco Season 4: Apple TV+’s Heartwarming Comedy Offers a Bittersweet Goodbye
Apple TV+’s lively bilingual series Acapulco is gearing up for its farewell performance, inviting fans on one last sun-drenched adventure brimming with love, laughter, and a touch of nostalgia. The streaming platform revealed that Season 4 of the cherished show will debut on July 23, 2025, featuring a two-episode launch. This concluding season aims to beautifully conclude the tale of Maximo Gallardo while capturing the same endearing essence that has distinguished the series since its inception.
A Vibrant Story of Aspirations and Resolve
Set against the stunning landscape of the fictional Las Colinas resort in 1980s Acapulco, the series chronicles the experiences of Maximo Gallardo, a young man filled with grand aspirations. The narrative unfolds in two timelines: one in the past, where a youthful Maximo (portrayed by Enrique Arrizon) experiences the highs and lows of resort life, and the other in the present, where an older and prosperous Maximo (played by Eugenio Derbez) shares his tales with his nephew.
The show’s dual storytelling approach has drawn parallels to How I Met Your Mother, yet Acapulco brings its own distinct flavor — combining nostalgia, Mexican culture, and a heartfelt examination of family, ambition, and identity.
Crafted by Eduardo Cisneros, Jason Shuman, and Austin Winsberg, Acapulco has garnered acclaim for its uplifting tone, rich visuals, and charming ensemble cast. The series is a celebration of new beginnings, personal evolution, and the enchantment of pursuing dreams — all delivered in a vibrant, tropical-inspired package.
What’s in Store for Season 4
Season 4 resumes with older Maximo striving to rejuvenate Las Colinas as it gears up for a grand reopening. Concurrently, in 1986, young Maximo finds himself in a competitive battle to regain the resort’s status as the premier hotel in Acapulco after a rival venue claims the limelight.
This season is set to offer the same delightful combination of humor and heart that fans have cherished, while also wrapping up the arcs of its beloved characters. Anticipate more of the show’s trademark musical experiences (featuring Spanish covers of 80s classics), colorful resort antics, and poignant reflections on life, love, and legacy.
A Charismatic Cast
Acapulco’s ensemble cast has been a fundamental element of its triumph. Eugenio Derbez continues to dazzle as the older Maximo, infusing depth and comedic timing into the character. Enrique Arrizon’s depiction of young Maximo captures the essence of youthful hope and determination. Other returning cast members include:
– Regina Reynoso as Sara, Maximo’s sister
– Rafael Cebrián as Hector, Maximo’s best pal
– Jessica Collins as Diane, the resort’s American proprietor
– Chord Overstreet as Chad, Diane’s son and Maximo’s frenemy
Every character contributes their unique essence to the show’s lively environment, making Las Colinas feel like a welcoming second home for its audience.
A Tribute to Mexican Culture
One of Acapulco’s remarkable accomplishments is its sincere and joyous representation of Mexican culture. The show skillfully combines Spanish and English dialogue, highlighting the richness of bilingual storytelling. From traditional family values to the vibrant visuals of 1980s Mexico, Acapulco serves as a heartfelt homage to the nation’s warmth, resilience, and spirit.
Eugenio Derbez, who also holds the role of executive producer, expressed his appreciation in a recent statement: “These four seasons have been enchanting. Acapulco brought joy and heart to viewers worldwide. From our amazing cast, writers, and directors, to how we honored Mexico’s culture, beauty, and warmth — it’s been an unforgettable journey.”
A Bittersweet Farewell
As Acapulco prepares to bid adiós, fans can look forward to a finale that remains true to the show’s essence — filled with laughter, love, and valuable life lessons. Although saying goodbye is never easy, the final season provides an opportunity to revisit the characters and narratives that have rendered the series so cherished.
Whether you’ve been part of the journey since Season 1 or are just uncovering the show, Acapulco serves as a reminder that sometimes, the best stories make you feel like you’re enjoying a vacation — even if just for 30 minutes at a time.
Acapulco Season 4 premieres July 23, 2025, exclusively on Apple TV+.
