The long-awaited new Spanish Netflix series Welcome to Eden premiered last Friday, May 6 on Netflix, but it seems that this weekend has been enough for many subscribers of the streaming platform to eagerly devour the eight episodes of between 35 and 45 minutes that make up his first season. In just three days, the fiction that many have referred to as the successor to Elite has positioned itself as the most popular in the carousel of the most-watched in our country, and it is not surprising. New faces but very popular among the new generations, a desert island full of mysteries and a cast of young characters, lovers of social networks and parties, and eager to live new experiences were 100% winning ingredients to succeed.
“Thinking that Eden is a paradise is only the beginning of the trap”, the promising series warned us from the beginning. And, indeed, this is how the spectators have been able to discover it through the experiences of Zoa, Charly, Ibón, Africa, Aldo, and company while they realized that their hosts at the party that was shaping up to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of their lives had brought them there with a worrying goal.
Welcome to Eden has captivated subscribers to the streaming platform twice: On the one hand because of its cast, which has multiplied its followers on social networks and has half of Twitter on fire, but also because of its ability to engage with a story that some refer to as “addictive”, “brutal” and “realistic” in the reflection of the use of social networks. Nor are there a few who, once the first installment has been seen, cry out to heaven for a second season renewal.
WILL YOU HAVE ‘WELCOME TO EDEN’ SEASON 2?
It is the question that many ask themselves after the outcome of the first installment, but the reality is that, at the moment, Netflix has only ordered a single season, which is the one that it made available to its subscribers last Friday, May 6. However, you’ll be happy to know that the intention of the series’ creative team is to continue telling stories set on the most paradisiacal island on the streaming platform.
Likewise, there are also rumors that the second season is a reality and that, in fact, it would have already started shooting, although until Netflix does not pronounce itself it will not be 100% confirmed.
“We cannot confirm anything right now” admitted the creators of the series Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López Sánchez in statements to SensaCine on the occasion of the promotion of the premiere of Bienvenidos an Edén.
It is true that we made this series with the hope that it would have a continuation because for us these stories and characters deserve it. But at the moment we cannot confirm more than what is going to be released. It’s what we offer
Thus, even without official confirmation, knowing that Welcome to Eden has not been conceived as a limited series that begins and ends with its first installment and that the creators want to continue with it is already the first step towards renewal. A decision that is in the hands of Netflix and that, as is usually its custom, may confirm the completion of the first four weeks of the series in the catalog.
THIS IS HOW ‘WELCOME TO EDEN’ ENDS. AND NOW THAT?
In fact, if you’ve already seen Welcome to Eden in full, you’ll understand that there are viewers on the verge of a “heart attack” asking for more.
When the protagonists of the series arrive at the party to which they have been invited, everything seemed idyllic, but it did not take them long to realize that those responsible for the Eden Foundation, Astrid ( Amaia Salamanca ) and Erik ( Guillermo Pfening ), were hiding something. much darker and that, in fact, if they want to leave there, they are going to have a lot of trouble doing so. Even die for it.
After some of their experiences and discoveries on the island, Charlie and Zoa set out to escape, but only the former makes it. On the contrary, the young woman played by Amaia Aberasturi discovers to her horror that her sister is among the new consignment of guests to the place, as far as she has come willing to find her. Meanwhile, Astrid and Erik have realized that among their guests there are people making dangerous discoveries, so we can hope that they will soon make a move.
