In the Gentefied season 1 finale, the main crew celebrates the impending arrival of Erik’s son. However, a series of life-altering events threaten the future of not only Mama Fina’s taco shop, but also Pops’ immediate future in America. Here’s everything we expect for Gentefied season 2 on Netflix.
Gentefied Season 2 Renewal
Netflix hasn’t yet ordered Gentefied season 2. The streaming service usually makes renewal decisions within a couple of months after release, so fans should expect news by the end of April 2020. The series has been well-received thus far, but Netflix will want to know if subscribers are fully invested in the series as a whole or whether they’re just checking out the first few episodes. At this point, because of its strong reviews and Netflix’s strategy of flooding the streaming market with new content, it seems likely that Gentefied season 2 will indeed be ordered and produced in 2020.
Gentefied Season 2 Release Date Info
Assuming that Netflix orders Gentefied season 2 by April 2020, production can be completed by the end of the year. Moving forward, fans can expect the same series format consisting of 10 30-minute episodes. Netflix usually stays with a one season per year schedule, so expect Gentefied season 2 to release in early 2021.
Gentefied Season 2 Story Details
Gentefied season 1 ends with Ana enjoying her first art exhibition, only to learn that Mama Fina’s Boyle Heights location will soon become Monaco Terrace. She lashes out in public, which oddly makes her work even more intriguing to potential buyers. Meanwhile, Erik worries about being a father but calms down after the birth of newborn Delfina. As for Chris, he embraces the idea of a running Pop’s business with Erik, but then learns that his father – “El Cucuy” – is willing to fund his Parisian cooking school expenses. In the final moments of Gentefied season 1 on Netflix, Pop is arrested and detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
It’s possible that Pop might not be present during Gentefied season 2. After all, Cosio’s other Netflix character in Narco: Mexico plays a minor role in the second season after being a major figure in the first installment. It seems likely that Gentefied season 2 will focus on the personal growth of Ana, Erik, and Chris without Pop at their side. First, however, they need to figure out how to protect Mama Fina’s. For the rest of Gentefied season 2 on Netflix, expect the three main protagonist to establish a new Boyle Heights culinary legacy while simultaneously pursuing their individual goals.
