​When we think of big moments in the creation of a television series, we think often of the red carpet premiere event. Simply because that is the culmination of months or years of work, wherein everyone involved in the project can see the final edit and properly pay tribute to the work they put into creating a powerful story. But there is so much more that goes into creating a series and celebrating it and getting word out to the world, as evidenced by todays behind the scenes look at the press tour for an upcoming Apple TV+ series. For earlier today, Fernando Rovzar, and Bárbara Mori, Ximena Sariñana, Amorita Ragado, and Natalia Téllez, gathered in Mexico City to speak with press in person and virtually, to discuss their brand-new series, Women in Blue.
 
A series created by Fernando and starring Bárbara, Ximena, Amorita, and Natalia, and is a fascinating and powerful series set in the 1970s. About the first women on the police force in Mexico and their struggles in being part of a police force that did not accept them, and well… this is a big deal. Because this is one of the first steps in celebrating a show and the word begins to spread from here, and to give you a little sampling of what kind of celebration takes place, here are some photos from the event for you to check out, and make sure you swing back by NTG in the coming weeks, as we share our interviews from this event since we were able to attend virtually, as the countdown begins to the arrival of a poignant and important series.
 
ABOUT “WOMEN IN BLUE”:
‘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”), the series 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 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 (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.’
