One Hundred Years of Solitude season 2 is confirmed, but it’s still a long way off

Fans have been waiting for updates on Netflix's most recent venture, One Hundred Years of Solitude season 2. After the release of the first season's eight episodes, which covered half the storyline of author Gabriel García Márquez’s 1967 book, fans are waiting for the second installment.

However, it seems that the story might pause before moving ahead. Netflix has not yet announced an official release date for season 2 of the show. This means that the show might not inch towards completion even early next year until the streaming platform confirms a date.

Audiences can rest assured that this interruption is not because of filming constraints. The next eight episodes of the series have already been filmed along with the first season, ready for release.

One Hundred Years of Solitude season 2 shall have eight episodes that carry the storyline forward. The plot is expected to continue from the end of season 1, after the mysterious death of José Arcadio. After a deadly confrontation, the character was found dead with no wounds or fatal marks on his body. None of the townspeople could figure out what killed him, leaving the situation a mystery for the audience.

The next season will surely bring about a drastic change in the story as the people of Macondo get used to their new reality. Though Netflix has yet to announce the official release date for One Hundred Years of Solitude season 2, it has been confirmed that the episodes for the next season have already been filmed.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is a Netflix series adapted from author Gabriel García Márquez’s 1967 book of the same title. It explores the story of an entire nation’s founding myth, following a hundred years and six generations of the Buendía family. The patriarch, José Arcadio, founded the town of Macondo in the north of Colombia so that his family and his people could know peace.

Macondo and the Buendías began progressing together, and odd supernatural events were common in the town. However, as the generations passed, Macondo was impacted by Colombia's 19th and 20th-century history. The area became affected by a civil war and fell victim to an exploitative banana plantation.

Currently, the Netflix series has released a season 1 with eight episodes. One Hundred Years of Solitude season 2 is expected to be released with another eight episodes to continue the storyline.
