Welcome to Eden premiered on Netflix in May 2022, and tons of people tuned in to watch the new Spanish thriller series. Apparently, Netflix saw the show’s potential and renewed it for a second season only a couple of weeks after its release. Now everyone’s waiting for the new episodes to come out in a Welcome to Eden season 2.

Welcome to Eden is Netflix original series created by Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López Sánchez. It’s about a group of young people who are invited to an exclusive party on a remote island sponsored by the brand of a new beverage. But once they arrive on the island, they quickly realize that the supposed paradise holds many dark secrets and is not what they expected at all.

The amazing cast includes Belinda Peregrín, Berta Vázquez, Amaia Aberasturi, Amaia Salamanca, Lola Rodríguez, Sergio Momo, Begoña Vargas, Ana Mena, and many others.

We have provided all the information we know so far about the new season below.

Welcome to Eden season 2 renewal

On May 25, 2022, Netflix announced to the world that Welcome to Eden season 2 was officially happening. According to the streaming giant, the show continued to rank highly on Netflix’s global Top 10 list for non-English TV.

In week 1, the show was ranked at the No. 2 spot. Then, week 2 rolled around, and the show jumped to the No. 1 spot. In week 3, it had dropped back down to the No. 2 spot, but this was still a high ranking. To finish up the first month, the show sat at the No. 4 spot on the list in its fourth week. Overall, in the show’s first month on the streamer, it managed to accumulate a whopping 131,310,000 million viewing hours. This was truly an impressive feat!

Is Welcome to Eden season 2 filming?

No, production has already wrapped on the second season. According to an Instagram post by Amaia Aberasturi, who plays Zoa in the thriller series, the cameras officially stopped rolling on July 1, 2022. She said the cast and crew had filmed the second season for three months.

Here’s the English translation of the post’s caption below:

"End of filming of #Eden 2Thank you team for these 3 months! you areOh… already looking forward to seeing the result and sharing it with you!"

As reported by Netflix, Welcome to Eden season 2 was shot in different locations in Spain, such as Lanzarote, Barcelona, and Teruel.

Welcome to Eden ending explained

The first season ends with Zoa almost making it to the boat to leave Eden, but then she sees her sister Gabi arriving on the island and stops in her tracks. Elsewhere, Africa pushes a button on a machine in a secret room in Astrid and Erick’s apartment, accidentally sending a signal to outer space. She tries to turn off the alert but to no avail. She then tries to leave the room by getting on the elevator, but it closes before she can hop on. Charly makes it to the boat safely while Mayka watches him through a drone. She decides not to tell on him. Lastly, Ibon drowns Ulises and then pulls his body further into the ocean.

What could Welcome to Eden season 2 be about?

For starters, we need to know what Zoa is going to do now that her sister has arrived on the island. Will she stay on the island to watch over her sister, or is she and her sister going to try to escape once they reunite? What about the signal that was sent to space? How will this affect the island? And what about Africa? Remember, she’s trapped in the secret room in Astrid and Erick’s apartment. I’m sure someone will find her, but what will happen to her once she’s found? Whatever happens to Africa after she’s rescued can’t be good.

Also, we still don’t know who Isaac really is and what the Eden Foundation is. We know how the Eden Foundation was started and why it was formed, but there’s definitely more to it. Issac has a close bond with Astrid and Erick, but what’s their relationship? Could he be their son? We also need to figure out who stabbed Erick. There’s a lot to be explored in the second season, and we can’t wait to see how everything plays out.

Here’s what Netflix said about the second season’s plot:

"In this new season, mystery and danger at the island keep growing and Eden Foundation welcomes new characters."

We have new plot details to share regarding the upcoming season.

"With new threats on the island and no way out, the rebellion ignites an intense battle for freedom while Astrid carries out her plans for the New Eden."
