“Acapulco” ended an eventful Season 3 with massive shifts for the employees of Las Colinas resort across the show’s both timelines, and producers are hopeful the beloved Apple TV+ comedy series’ intricate narrative will continue to unfold in a potential Season 4.

Episode 10, titled “Burning Down the House,” followed the aftermath of younger Maximo’s (Enrique Arrizon) decision mistakenly reveal the resort’s book of guest secrets to Alejandro Vera (Jaime Camil), setting the stage for him to fire Diane (Jessica Collins) and Don Pablo (Damián Alcázar) in 1985.

    Bonjour, je m’appelle Maxime Fessler, je viens de Fribourg en Suisse et je suis littéralement fan de votre série Acapulco dont j’ai adoré découvrir lorsqu’elle est sortie en :
    Cette série mélangeant, humour, trahison, amour avec un peu de drama mais surtout de la fraîcheur et de gaité me plaît énormément et je ne vous cache pas que je suis très impatient de voir une potentielle et je l’espère normalement une saison 4 suite au cliffanger du dernier épisode de la saison 3.
    En parlant de la fin de la saison 3, je ne peux m’empêcher d’essayer de deviner car cela m’intrigue beaucoup 4 questions que je me pose dont durant les 3 saisons les réponses n’ont pas été dévoilées.
    La 1ère : Allons revoir l’actrice : Bianca Marroquín qui joue la soeur de Maximo aujourd’hui ?
    La 2ème : Est-elle toujours lesbienne lorsqu’elle sera enceinte puis mère du neveu de Maximo : Hugo ?
    La 3ème : Qui est le père d’Hugo ?
    La 4ème : Allons nous revoir le personnage de Chad version : De nos jours…? Et par quel acteur sera-il joué…?

    Merci beaucoup pour vos réponses!
    Meilleures salutations!

    Máxime, you perfectly characterized what we all love about this show! I had some of the same questions, as well as, ‘where is modern-day Dianne?’; ‘Maximo’s madre?’

    I adore this show, the story, characters, music, style, and its cross-cultural dynamic. Thank you, Apple and Lionsgate, show runners and writers, and all of the actors and crew for endearing us with this wonderful, campy story; y a Puerto Vallarta y México para la hermosa cultura y el paisaje. 

    👏 bravo!
