Max announced today that they’ve ordered a second season of its HBO original series, the Spanish-language Like Water for Chocolate.
The series, according to the company, is the most-watched Latin American content worldwide and was one of the top three most-watched series on the platform during its premiere month.
“It’s been incredible to see such an important Mexican story resonate with audiences around the world,” executive producer Salma Hayek Pinault said in a statement. “We are thrilled to confirm a second season of Like Water for Chocolate and are looking forward to giving closure to such a strong and powerful story.”
“This second season of the series will complete the story, fusing essential aspects of Mexican culture, such as magical realism and gastronomy, acting as forms of expression and connection,” Warner Bros. Discovery executive Mariano Cesar added. “These themes are developed from a female perspective, in which the questioning of social and family mandates reinforces the current relevance of the narrative.”
The second season of the series will see the return of the protagonists: Irene Azuela, Azul Guaita, Ana Valeria Becerril, Andrea Chaparro, as well as the male leads Andrés Baída and Louis David Horné.
No news yet on when the second season of the show will go into production. The first season is currently streaming on Max.
