Featuring an entirely Hispanic cast and crew led by Ariel Award nominee Bárbara Mori (Perdidos en La Noche, La Negociadora, La Mujer De Mi Hermano) and created by International Emmy Award-winning showrunner and director Fernando Rovzar (Monarca, Sr. Ávila) and Pablo Aramendi (Tijuana, Los Elegidos), Women In Blue -- titled Las Azules internationally -- will make its global debut with the first two episodes on Wednesday, July 31, 2024 on Apple TV+, followed by one episode weekly through September 25, 2024.

Set in 1970 and inspired by true events, Women In Blue 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. As the body count grows, María (Bárbara Mori), whose determination to catch the killer becomes an obsession, Gabina (Amorita Rasgado), whose father is a renowned cop, Ángeles (Ximena Sariñana), a brilliant fingerprint analyst, and Valentina (Natalia Téllez), a young rebel, set up a secret investigation to achieve what no male officer has been able to do and bring the serial killer to justice. The series also stars Miguel Rodarte, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Christian Tappan and Horacio García Rojas.

I had the pleasure of speaking with the aforementioned Bárbara Mori and Fernando Rovzar again via Zoom in September 2024, as embedded above and set to air via the Long Beach, New York-based Paltrocast With Darren Paltrowitz television series. Before the premiere of Season 1, in July 2024, I also had the pleasure of speaking with Ximena Sariñana, Amorita Rasgado and Natalia Téllez via Zoom, as embedded below and aired via the Paltrocast; a 2021 Paltrocast interview with Ximena Sariñana can be seen here.
