The Marked Heart season 2 on Netflix: Tailer and what to expect
In season 1 of The Marked Heart, Simón Duque's wife Valeria was murdered by a crime syndicate to transplant her heart to another person. The recipient of the heart was a woman named Camila, the wife of a wealthy man.
Camila had no clue about the origin of her new heart. Meanwhile, grief-struck Simon vowed to avenge his wife's murder. Simon and Camila gradually met and fell in love. In the climax, both characters discovered the truth.
Here is the trailer for The Marked Heart season 2,
From the above trailer, we learn that Camila and Simón are in a whole new world of trouble. Even though she was married to a wealthy man named Zacarías Cienfuegos who had saved her life, she fell in love with Simone. She possessed the heart of Simón's dead wife, Valeria.
Camila had faked her death to disappear from her evil husband's life, but Zacarías had devised a master plan to bring her back and take revenge on Simón. He is hell-bent on teaching Simón a lesson.
Season 1 consisted of fourteen episodes. All of them were released on April 20, 2022. The show was instantly renewed for a second season following its rapid success.
In an interview in April 2022, showrunner Leonardo Padrón explained that, via Camila’s character, he wanted to show how a person’s mind responds when a foreign object (in this case, a heart) is introduced into their body. In the show, Camila begins to feel like a different person as she sees Valeria in her visions. She even develops feelings for Simón, who is also uncontrollably attracted to her.
In addition to being a screenwriter and executive producer of the show, Padrón signed an exclusive three-year creative deal with Netflix last year for the development of new shows and films.
