Season two of Acapulco picks up right on the heels of season one, telling the story of 20-something Máximo Gallardo, 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 could 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 the 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.

This is the story that unfolds in the bilingual (Spanish and English) production Acapulco, which stars and is produced by recent SAG Award-winning Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez. He is joined in the cast by Enrique Arrizon (“Máximo”), Fernando Carsa (“Memo”), Damián Alcázar (“Don Pablo”), Camila Pérez (“Julia”), Chord Overstreet (“Chad”), Vanessa Bauche (“Nora”), Regina Reynoso (“Sara”), Raphael Alejandro (“Hugo”), Jessica Collins (“Diane”), Rafael Cebrián (“Héctor”) and Carlos Corona (“Esteban”).
