Netflix He has achieved with ‘The Eternaluta’ one of the best science fiction series in the history of the platform -something that criticism supports with 94% of positive assessments in Rotten Tomatoes. Initially, everything pointed out that it was going to be a miniseries, but it took long to announce the start -up of a season 2 called to put an end to the adaptation of the mythical original comic of Héctor Germán Oesterheld y Francisco Solano López.
Next we will review Everything we know so far about season 2 of ‘El Eternalauta’. Its involved have already made it clear that the plan is that it is the last one in the series and also that the number of episodes is greater, but we better make an exhaustive review of all the details, which we will be updating as new details are made official.
What we know about the premiere of season 2 of ‘El Eternalauta’
The bad news is that we will still have to wait long to see it, since the own Ricardo Darín He has confirmed in May 2025 that he is not yet shot. That together with the dimensions of a production of these characteristics They lead to that it will easily go to 2027 or even later.
What did I rely on making that prediction? Easy, you just have to take as an example the first, since its filming extended from March 2023 to December of that year, and then it did not premiere until April 2025. Therefore, even if the recordings start today, the times would not square to be able to see it before 2027, because in addition the postproduction work is presumed even more ambitious. And in the first season there were up to 2000 planes that required the use of special effects …
‘The Eternaluta’, Season 2 – History
The first season of ‘El Eternalauta’ has taken many freedoms with respect to the original comic, but has maintained the essence of it and a similar structure. In fact, lThe first six episodes would become the equivalent of their first 150 pages, so there are still more than 200 to address.
Obviously, the first thing to touch was that enemy mysteries with a hand of the most peculiar that, as we have already mentioned in our detailed review at the end of season 1, belongs to a member of the hands, who play an important role in the invasion, but surely not the one who thinks many of those who have first discovered ‘The Eternaluta’ with the Netflix series.
All that will lead to a much more ambitious season 2 in every way, since the producer Matías Mosteirin He has assured in Deadline that the plan is that season 2 is the final of the series: “We believe we will close the whole story in a beautiful way“. It has also revealed that the idea is that it is longer than its predecessor and leaves until the 8 episodesalso clarifying because it is the perfect point to close it:
We can keep it a second season, but no more. We believe that, artistically, that is the cycle we need to maintain the mystique and adventure of making the series. We want to challenge ourselves in the second season as we challenge ourselves in the first. We want to go for more, technically and creatively. We want to use all the knowledge acquired to do things in the second season that we do not manage to do in the first
-
In this regard, Francisco RamosVice President of Content for Latin America of Netflix, makes it clear that season 2 will be even more ambitious than its predecessor, since it has also commented in Deadline in Deadline that “It will be very important. It will deepen a lot of science fiction concepts that only pointed in the first season, and that will be completely developed“.
‘El Eternalauta’, Season 2 – Delivery and protagonists
It was Ricardo Darín himself who first confirmed that there will be season 2 when he pointed out in Argentina news that “The complete story ends with a second season unlike other projects in which, it depends on how they work, they add seasons“, so his return in the role of Juan Salvo is guaranteed. It also has that Carla Peterson be Elena again, César Troncoso Refero Como Alfredo Favalli, Andrea Pietra Interpret Ana and Mora Fiszbai To Clara, among other returns.
In turn, Ariel statelywhich also exercises as a co -manager in the series, should return as Omar, a totally new character created for television adaptation. Obviously, it is not convenient to rule out new signings -for example, who will give life to the owner of that fearsome hand we see at the end of the first installment? -but from Netflix they have not announced anything about it yet.
The one who is confirmed that it returns to season 2 of ‘The Eternaluta’ is Bruno StagnaroCreator, coguionist and solo director of the series. It was evident that it had to be so, since such an important change would not make sense, but it is good to have it already secured.
The wide universe of ‘El Eternalauta’
The truth is that the comic of ‘El Eternalauta’ has had several sequels over the years -for example is in ‘The eternalauta, the return: the end of the world’published in 2010, where the authentic reason that the invaders had to attack the Earth is revealed- and even a new version of the original story sponsored by Oesterheld himself with a much more political approach that had a premature ending.
Therefore, There is enough material for Netflix to continue exploring this universe in the event that it creates it convenientbut the statements of those involved in the adaptation of ‘The Eternaluta’ imply that they are only interested in the original story.
