"Women in Blue" captures memorable moments in history on Apple TV+.
Women in Blue (Las Azules) is an Apple TV+ Spanish-language crime drama featuring an entirely Hispanic cast and crew led by Ariel Award nominee Bárbara Mori. Created by International Emmy Award-winning showrunner and director Fernando Rovzar and Pablo Aramendi, Women in Blue 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.
Set in 1970 and inspired by true events, Women in Blue tells the story of four women who defy the ultraconservative 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 chronicles the bravery, resilience, tenacity, and courage that these women displayed when entering a predominantly male only workforce in the 70’s. Not only did these women have to fight for their right to be of service, but they also had to fight to be seen, heard, and respected for what they brought to the table.
As crime, corruption, bigotry, and misogynic treatment take the stand in this thrilling, yet inspirational crime drama, the “Women in Blue” refuse to let their service and contribution to public safety be in vain.
