In season three of Acapulco, it's time to reconcile past mistakes and exciting new beginnings. In the present story, older Máximo (Derbez) finds himself returning to a Las Colinas he no longer recognizes. While in 1985, younger Máximo (Enrique Arrizon) continues his climb up the ladder of success while potentially jeopardizing all the relationships he's worked so hard to build.

The taping will take place at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City on November 2, and the premiere date for the one-hour special will be announced at a later date. Shlesinger will also kick off her new comedy tour, The Get Ready Tour this August. Veteran comedian Iliza is back with her seventh hour-long comedy special. As the voice of the Elder Millennial generation, she brings back her familiar physical fast paced style peppered with characters, animals and insights. From stripper heels to gorilla wives to a lesson for Gen Z, this brand-new hour is her best work yet.
