ABC Fall Preview Special Airs Sept. 14; Acapulco Returns in October on Apple TV+
Ahead of the anticipated debut of ABC's fall programming slate, the network and ABC's marketing team invites viewers to enjoy a preview of its primetime lineup, featuring an early look at new drama series Alaska Daily starring Oscar® winner Hilary Swank, as well as the latest addition to The Rookie franchise led by Niecy Nash-Betts, The Rookie: Feds. Plus, audiences can get a taste of what's coming up on some of their returning favorites, including Grey's Anatomy, as Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital welcomes a new batch of interns; Bachelor in Paradise, which hits the beach for another romance-filled fall debut; and seven-time Emmy®-nominated Abbott Elementary, among many others. Hosted by the cast of Home Economics (Topher Grace, Caitlin McGee, Jimmy Tatro, Karla Souza and Sasheer Zamata) ahead of their season three return, the ABC Fall Preview Special is set to air Wednesday, Sept. 14 from 8:30-9:00 p.m. EDT on ABC.
Apple TV+ announced that the second season of the global hit comedy series Acapulco, starring and executive produced by SAG-Award winner Eugenio Derbez, will return on Friday, October 21, 2022. The two-episode season premiere will be followed by a new episode every Friday. Season two picks up right on the heels of season one, telling the story of twenty-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 just might 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 present day, Older Máximo returns to Acapulco to make peace with the recent passing of Don Pablo, where he is forced to confront some unfinished business young Máximo left behind.
Joining Derbez ("Older Máximo") in the ten episode second season are returning stars Enrique Arrizon ("Máximo"), Fernando Carsa ("Memo"), Damián Alcázar ("Don Pablo"), Camila Perez ("Julia"), Chord Overstreet ("Chad"), Vanessa Bauche ("Nora"), Regina Reynoso ("Sara"), Raphael Alejandro ("Hugo"), Jessica Collins ("Diane"), Rafael Cebrián ("Hector") and Carlos Corona ("Esteban").
