Apple TV+ has unveiled the trailer for its highly anticipated Spanish-language crime drama "Women in Blue" ("Las Azules"). This 10-part series, featuring an entirely Hispanic cast and crew, is headlined by Ariel Award nominee Bárbara Mori. The series will premiere globally with the first two episodes on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, followed by weekly episodes through September 25.
Created by International Emmy Award-winning showrunner and director Fernando Rovzar and Pablo Aramendi, "Women in Blue" is set in 1971 and inspired by true events. The series tells the story of four women who defy the ultraconservative norms of their time to join Mexico’s first female police force. Initially, they realize that their squad is merely a publicity stunt to distract the media from a brutal serial killer. However, as the body count rises, these women decide to take action.
The narrative centers on María (Mori), whose determination to catch the killer turns into an obsession. She is joined by Gabina (Amorita Rasgado), the daughter of a respected police officer; Ángeles (Ximena Sariñana), a skilled fingerprint analyst; and Valentina (Natalia Téllez), a young rebel. Together, they initiate a covert investigation, striving to accomplish what their male counterparts have failed to do—bring the serial killer to justice.
The series features a stellar cast including Mori, Sariñana, Téllez, Rasgado, Miguel Rodarte, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Christian Tappán, and Horacio García Rojas. "Women in Blue" is produced by Lemon Studios for Apple TV+, with executive producers Fernando Rovzar, Wendy Riss, Erica Sánchez Su, Sandra Solares, and Billy Rovzar.
"Women in Blue" promises to deliver a compelling story that not only tracks the pursuit of a serial killer but also highlights the social challenges and achievements of pioneering women in law enforcement during a pivotal time in Mexico's history.
