Will There Be ‘Moria’ Season 2 at Netflix? Latest Updates on Renewal Status

Netflix has established itself as a platform that transforms real-life figures into stylized, larger-than-life narratives, and its latest offering, ‘Moria’, exemplifies this trend. The series debuted on the platform this week, sharing the story of one of Argentina’s most unique entertainment icons with a global audience, prompting fans to wonder about the future of the show.

‘Moria’ focuses on Moria Casán, a significant figure in Argentine entertainment, presenting her life through a fictionalized “snow globe” lens rather than a traditional biopic. Created and directed by Javier Van de Couter, the series embraces camp, kitsch, and a vibrant queer perspective, featuring three actresses—Sofía Gala Castiglione, Griselda Siciliani, and Cecilia Roth—who portray Casán at various stages of her life.

Since ‘Moria’ just premiered on August 14, there is currently no information regarding a second season. Netflix has yet to announce any renewal, which is not surprising given that the series only released its first episodes this week. Typically, streaming platforms take weeks or even months to make renewal decisions.

This waiting period is standard across Netflix’s catalog, especially for limited series and biographical dramas that focus on a single narrative arc. Viewership data needs time to accumulate before any renewal announcements are made, and ‘Moria’ follows this trend, particularly due to its niche appeal outside the English-speaking audience.

The first season chronicles Casán’s evolution from the ambitious young Ana María Casanova in 1960s Buenos Aires to the cultural icon known simply as Moria across Argentina. The initial episodes explore her ascent during a turbulent political era, her complex relationship with her daughter Sofía, and her reinvention through provocative television projects that challenged traditional notions of womanhood.

Critics have responded positively to the show’s audacity. A review from Micropsia Cine notes that the series draws stylistic inspiration from filmmakers like Todd Haynes, Pedro Almodóvar, and Federico Fellini, portraying Casán as a puppet master who controls her narrative, a creative approach that prevents the series from becoming a conventional biopic.

As Casán’s real life extends well beyond the show’s initial chapters, including a prison stint and her reconciliation with her daughter, there is ample material for Netflix to explore if a second season is greenlit. The current season hints at her reflecting on her legacy and celebrating her role in Argentine culture, indicating that the story is far from over.

It remains uncertain whether this continuation will manifest as a second season or be integrated into the existing run as a self-contained miniseries. Netflix has previously expanded limited series that gained unexpected popularity with international audiences, so ‘Moria’ could potentially find a wider fanbase outside Argentina, influencing future decisions, especially given the global interest in biographical dramas about iconic figures.

For now, fans eager for more of Casán’s journey will have to wait and see how the first season performs. Considering Casán’s significant cultural impact in Argentina and the stylish, unconventional storytelling approach taken by the series, ‘Moria’ certainly possesses the potential to warrant a second chapter if Netflix deems the viewership numbers favorable, although no decisions have been made yet.
