Is there a possibility of an Acapulco Season 5? Here’s what we know

Apple TV+ may have officially closed the book on Acapulco with its fourth season, but fans aren’t quite ready to check out of Las Colinas just yet. The glossy, heartwarming bilingual series built a loyal audience thanks to its unique blend of retro charm, cross-generational storytelling, and that irresistible resort backdrop. Now, as Season 4 prepares to roll out, whispers about a potential Acapulco Season 5 refuse to die down.

On paper, the series is ending — Apple TV+ has made that clear. But as we all know, “series finale” doesn’t always mean forever. The entertainment industry has a long history of “final” seasons getting sequel series, holiday specials, or surprise revivals when fan fervor hits the right pitch. And with the emotional connection Acapulco has built, it wouldn’t be the first show to pull off a second act.

So, what are the chances that Season 5 becomes a reality? The answer isn’t a straightforward “sí” or “no” — but there are clues, and we’re diving in.

The cast and creatives are open to more — but on one condition

Eugenio Derbez, who stars in and executive produces the show, referred to the four-season run as “magical” and said he’s proud of what they created. That may sound like a goodbye, but the tone of his comments — celebratory but not definitive — leaves the door slightly ajar. And let’s be honest, Derbez isn’t one to say no to a good encore if the fans are still clapping.

Behind the scenes, the creative team also has a track record that suggests flexibility. Co-creator Austin Winsberg, known for Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, helped lead a fan-driven effort to turn that show’s cancellation into a holiday movie. If the finale leaves room for more stories (and don’t be shocked if it does), the door could be open for a future continuation — possibly even under a different format.

Streamer strategy and audience love might tip the scales for Acapulco

Apple TV+ doesn’t typically reverse course on its cancellation decisions, but it's also not above rethinking things when a show breaks through. With this show, the global appeal, critical love, and tight-knit cast make it a strong candidate for some kind of return — be it a reunion episode, spinoff, or one-off special. Streaming services thrive on content that celebrates inclusivity and nostalgia, and the show checks both boxes with flair.

More importantly, if Season 4 generates enough buzz — especially in international markets — Apple may see value in extending the brand. After all, just because the series finale has been announced doesn’t mean it has to stay the series finale. As Las Colinas has taught us time and again: never underestimate the power of reinvention. So, is Season 5 still possible? Let’s just say... stranger comebacks have happened.
