Apple TV+ has ordered ten episodes of “Las Azules,” a crime drama starring Bárbara Mori and created by Fernando Rovzar and Pablo Aramendi.
The Spanish-language series, set in 1970 and inspired by true events, follows four women who join Mexico’s first female police force only to discover that their squad is a publicity stunt to distract the media from a brutal serial killer. María (Mori), whose determination to catch the killer becomes an obsession; Gabina, an aspiring officer; Ángeles, a fingerprint analyst; and Valentina, a young rebel, set up a secret investigation as the body count grows, hoping to achieve what male officers haven’t and catch the killer.
“Las Azules” is currently in pre-production in Mexico City. According to Apple, the series will feature an entirely Hispanic cast and crew.

Univision says it’s driving full bore into the subscription-streaming sector: The Spanish-language media and broadcast giant plans to launch a paid over-the-top service in 2022 in the U.S. and Latin America alongside an expanded free, ad-supported package.

Tania Dalai celebrated her coming-of-age with a Harry Potter party that looks straight out of the J.K Rowling books— setting the bar for magical quinceañeras. A video was posted on YouTube giving a look into the 15-year-old’s bash that included golden snitches, wands, and robes.
The venue, inspired by the popular book and movie franchise, was set up to look like the Great Hall at Hogwarts with long tables and banners of the four houses at Hogwarts hanging from the ceiling. Sorry, Hermione. Movie posters were customized to have Tania replace Hermione Granger alongside characters Harry Potter and Ron Wesley.
