The Netflix series “The Secret of the River” continues in the top 10 for its message of friendship and inclusion, especially towards the LGBTQ+ community. There has been a lot of speculation about whether it will get a second season and below, we will explain if it is true.
“The secret of the river”, l
a Mexican series that is a hit
Set on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, Mexico, this drama features Manuel, a young man who returns to the town where he lived in his childhood with a new identity: Sicarú. Upon returning, he faces discrimination from some residents and rejection from his ex-boyfriend Eric, with whom he had a strong relationship after a traumatic experience together.
Its ending reveals that Sicaro and Eric’s friendship blossoms again, that they both rescue a child who was about to be sold illegally, and that the muxes of the town celebrate Solange, who was an important part of the community, at a party.
Will Netflix make a second season of Sicarú and Erik’s story?
As of now, no actors or the company Netflix has mentioned anything about a second season and the chances of it happening are slim due to one particular factor.
The series resolves most of the unknowns it poses throughout the chapters, such as what happened when it was discovered that Erik and Manuel saw Sergio die, how the protagonists manage to restart their friendship, and how they catch the policeman which was child trafficking.
This means that if “The Secret of the River” returns for a second season, a new conflict would have to be created for Sicarú and Erik to face, which could make the plot too complicated and less believable, given that the eighth chapter Leave a happy ending for everyone.
An important detail to consider is that Netflix sometimes evaluates a show’s performance in the first few months after its release before deciding whether or not to continue. According to the platform’s history, the renewal announcement is usually made between three and six months after the first season premieres. This means that, in case of a second tranche, the official announcement could be made early next year.
For followers there is a debate on the matter, since the idea of a second season opens up a lot of expansion possibilities for the story and characters, but for others they believe that if it is not done in the right way it may lose audience, so it should extended.
