Gossip Girl: Acapulco is a Mexican teen drama television series, based on the American television series Gossip Girl. It was produced by El Mall and Warner Brothers International Television, with Pedro Torres serving as executive producer for the series.
The first and only season, consisting of 25 episodes, debuted on the pay TV channel Golden Premier in Mexico on August 5, 2013. The television show was then broadcast in the United States on UniMás starting September 20, 2013, and on free-to-air channel Canal 5 starting November 11, 2013.
The series starred Sofía Sisniega, Oka Giner, Diego Amozurrutia, Margarita Muñoz, Jon Ecker, Vadhir Derbez, and Macarena Achaga as the principal cast members. It was nominated as best series at the Premios TVyNovelas 2014, but didn't win.
The intention of producing a Mexican adaptation of Gossip Girl was made public in August 2012, while the final cast was announced in January 2013 with the streaming of the first promotional video. The producers expected to film at least three seasons of the series. Filming of the first season began on January 21, 2013, in Acapulco, and ended on May 5. On January 14, 2014, it was announced that the series would not be renewed for a second season.
Singer Paty Cantú, the voice of Gossip Girl, also performs the show's promo song, Dicen por ahí.
Sofía López-Haro returns unexpectedly to Acapulco after leaving mysteriously the year before. Her best friend, Bárbara Fuenmayor, angry that she has always been forced to live in Sofía's shadow, is not happy with her return, especially after discovering that before leaving Acapulco, Sofía had slept with her boyfriend, Nico.
