25 MAY 2022 - Apple TV+ has a new Spanish-language crime drama on the way. The Cupertino-streamer issued a press release Tuesday announcing “Las Azules,” based on “true stories of Mexico’s first female police force…” Quoting the release:

Set in 1970 and inspired by true events, “Las Azules” tells the story of four women who defy the ultra-conservative norms of the time and 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.

So… you know… they go after the serial killer.

Apple has ordered 10 episodes of the series, which “will feature an entirely Hispanic cast and crew…” The show is in pre-production in Mexico City. No word on when it’ll hit Apple TV+.
