When The Snow Girl premiered on Netflix, platform users could see that, according to the catalog, it was a miniseries. Those who thought that this meant a final goodbye for the character of Miren (Milena Smit), the journalist obsessed with solving the disappearance of the young Amaya during the parade of kings, were wrong: there will be a second season, as reported by Javier Castillo, author of the novel on which the series was based.
“I have spent a few weeks with an incredible desire to be able to tell you this, celebrating it in secret until everything was official, and I can finally announce out loud that I will be working with Netflix to adapt two more of my stories and take them by the hand to everything the planet”, Castillo has revealed from his social networks. There will be an adaptation of The Crystal Cuckoo, one of his novels, and above all of The Game of the Soul, the sequel to The Snow Girl.
“Because I know that without you it would not have been possible, I am especially excited to announce that The Game of the Soul (the sequel to The Snow Girl) is in development to become a series, to take Miran even further than it already has.” it has done. So yes, the second season of
The decision of The Snow Girl could be understood as an open secret. On the one hand, due to the nature of the story. While the resolution of Amaya’s case was satisfactory, the portrayal of Miren’s character was yet to be developed after discovering the traumatic experience that had marked her in her youth and the decision she made upon the discovery of a sexual violence porn network and pedophilia. And, on the other, there was the success of the miniseries in the catalogue.
In its first three weeks, it accumulated 101 million hours watched among Netflix subscribers, which placed The Snow Girl as the most watched Spanish novelty since Bienvenidos a Eden in spring of last year. It was a good fact for being a series with only six episodes. And, having a central character with the possibility of being reinstated to continue portraying the underworld of Malaga society (which replaces the New York of the novels), the renewal seemed a matter of time.
In the first season, written by Jesús Mesas Silva and Javier Andrés Roig, Milena Smit was accompanied by José Coronado, Aixa Villagrán, Loreto Mauleón, Raúl Prieto, Cecilia Freire, Julián Villagrán and Tristán Ulloa. Who will return for the new chapters in the development phase?
The novel of The Game of the Soul centers on Miren, who receives a stranger on which there is a polaroid of a gagged and bound teenager just when a crucified 15-year-old girl is found in the city. She then, with her former journalism professor, tries to investigate the photograph, entering a religious institution where everything is secret.
