Apple TV is bringing back one of its strongest Spanish-language dramas this summer. Women in Blue season 2 premieres on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, with one episode at launch and new episodes every Wednesday through September 30, 2026.
Apple has already confirmed that the new season will continue María’s story after her promotion to lieutenant, while a new murder case pulls the team into a larger investigation tied to Mexico’s 1968 student massacre.
The show arrived as part of Apple TV’s growing push into international originals, and it quickly stood out for its period setting, crime story, and focus on Mexico’s first female police force. Season 2 looks set to raise the stakes again, with María, Valentina, Gabina, and Ángeles facing violence, corruption, and buried truths inside the system they serve.
- Series: Women in Blue / Las Azules
- Genre: Crime drama
- Episodes: 8
- Start date: August 12, 2026
- Finale date: September 30, 2026
- Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesdays after the premiere episode
Plot
Season 2 picks up with María now serving as lieutenant, which gives her more authority but also puts her under even more pressure. The new case begins when authorities discover the body of a student activist, and the investigation soon opens a path back to one of the darkest chapters in modern Mexican history. Another body then turns up, tied to that same period, and the police department realizes someone is pushing vengeance right to its doorstep.
That setup suggests a darker and more political season than the first one. Apple’s synopsis points to a story that will keep testing the Azules from both sides, since they still have to fight for respect inside the precinct while chasing a killer outside it. Spoilers: the official summary makes clear that the new season will connect its central murder mystery to corruption, police power, and the long shadow of 1968.
