Mario Casas stars in The Innocent season 1 Mateo Vidal, a lawyer who accidentally kills a man outside a night club. After serving four years in prison, he secretly meets with the victim’s mother, Sonia (Ana Wagener), and role-plays as her deceased son; a way to help the woman grieve. When Mateo’s girlfriend Olivia (Aura Garrido) disappears, the pasts of numerous characters become intertwined, with the mysterious suicide of a nun driving the narrative conflict.

　　In The Innocent season 1 finale, Olivia’s past decisions create big problems for her and Mateo. Plus, it’s revealed that Sonia’s husband, Jaime (Gonzalo de Castro), is the architect of a massive conspiracy. The final episode of the Netflix show does indeed resolve all of the main subplots, but also raises questions about Mateo’s true nature as a human being. Here’s what to expect for The Innocent season 2.

　　The Innocent Season 2 Renewal

　　The Innocent season 2 hasn’t been greenlit. Since the Netflix show isn’t based on an existing book series, but rather a stand-alone novel, it’s unlikely that new episodes will be produced. The Innocent season 1 works as a limited series and answers all of the main questions that viewers may have, and also provides a final glimpse into the mind of Mateo. However, it’s certainly possible that Netflix will greenlight an anthology series that explores the psychology of the protagonists and/or antiheroes.

　　The Innocent Season 2 Cast

　　The Innocent season 1 co-stars Alexandra Jiménez as Detective Lorena Ortiz, who could potentially be the lead character for a second installment. New episodes of the Netflix show could overlap with the first season yet still focus on a brand new storyline. Since Lorena’s backstory connects to Santa Catarina Boarding School, her mentor Sister Irene (Susi Sánchez) could return for The Innocent season 2. It seems unlikely that the main cast from the first season will reprise their roles.

　　The Innocent Season 2 Story

　　The Innocent season 1 ends with the revelation that Mateo showed mercy to a would-be prison assassin but then decided to throw him over a railing to his death. The narrative consistently examines whether Casas’ character is naturally violent or just has bad luck, and also demonstrates that Jaime’s actions are motivated by his belief that Mateo is a born killer, with the final image of the Netflix show suggesting that he’s right. For The Innocent season 2, Netflix could enlist a brand new cast for an entirely different story, or potentially bring back Jiménez as Detective Lorena Ortiz to investigate a new crime, as previously mentioned.

　　The Innocent Season 2 Release Date Info

　　Again, it seems unlikely that Netflix will greenlight new episodes, but audiences may demand a new installment. If so, expect The Innocent season 2 to premiere in April or May 2022 at the earliest.

　　The True Story Behind Haunting New Film The Innocents

　　Fontaine was first introduced to the story by producers, Éric and Nicolas Altmayer, who invited her to lunch with the promise of an idea she wouldn’t be able to refuse. “Of course, I was very curious,” the Luxembourg-born, Paris-based director tells us, seated cosily in a leather arm chair in an upstairs cafe at Picturehouse Central. “They began to describe the facts of the situation: of these nuns, at the end of the war, pregnant. And my first question was: ‘how do you know this?’ They explained that they had met Philippe Maynial, the nephew of Madeleine Pauliac, who told them that he had been trying to make a movie from his aunt’s diary for four or five years but hadn’t been able to do so.” (Maynial had been working with two writers to develop a script, which would later form the basis of Fontaine’s final screenplay.) Fontaine was intrigued and began to research further into the backstory of this sinister event. “I was struck by the intensity of the situation,” she says, “and its universality in terms of the treatment of women during wartime, even to this day. I felt I could do a movie that speaks of that period but also of today, which is why I took it on.”
