Will There Be ‘Moria’ Season 2 at Netflix? Here’s What We Know So Far

Netflix has built a reputation for taking real-life icons and turning their stories into stylized, larger-than-life television, and its newest addition leans into that idea harder than most. ‘Moria‘ arrived on the streamer this week, bringing the story of one of Argentina’s most singular entertainment figures to a global audience for the first time, and fans are already asking what comes next for the series.

The series centers on Moria Casán, a towering presence in Argentine show business, and reimagines her life as a fictionalized “snow globe” fantasy rather than a straightforward biopic. Created and directed by Javier Van de Couter, the show leans into camp, kitsch, and a strong queer sensibility, with three different actresses, Sofía Gala Castiglione, Griselda Siciliani, and Cecilia Roth, portraying Casán at different stages of her life.

With ‘Moria’ having just premiered on August 14, there’s currently no information available about a potential second season. Netflix has not announced any renewal, and given that the show only dropped its first batch of episodes this week, that isn’t surprising, since streamers typically wait weeks or even months before making that call.

That waiting period is standard practice across Netflix’s library, particularly for limited series and biographical dramas built around a single arc rather than an ongoing storyline. Viewership data usually needs time to accumulate before any renewal decision gets made public, and ‘Moria’ is no exception to that pattern, especially given its niche subject matter outside the English-speaking market.

The debut season traces Casán’s transformation from ambitious young Ana María Casanova in 1960s Buenos Aires into the cultural phenomenon known across Argentina simply as Moria. Early episodes move through her rise during a turbulent political dictatorship, her complicated relationship with her daughter Sofía, and her reinvention through a series of provocative television ventures that challenged conventional ideas about womanhood.

Critics have responded warmly to the show’s boldness so far. According to a review from Micropsia Cine, the series draws stylistic inspiration from filmmakers like Todd Haynes, Pedro Almodóvar, and Federico Fellini, framing Casán as a puppet master with total control over how her own narrative gets told, a conceptual approach the review credits with keeping the show from collapsing into a conventional, paint-by-numbers biopic.

Because Casán’s real life has continued well beyond the show’s opening chapters, including a stint in prison and her eventual reconciliation with her daughter, there’s plenty of material left if Netflix does decide to greenlight another round. The synopsis for the current season already teases her reflecting on her legacy and celebrating her life as a pillar of Argentine culture, suggesting the story is far from finished even within its own framing.

Whether that continuation happens as a second season or gets wrapped into the current run as a self-contained miniseries remains unclear for now. Netflix has occasionally continued to expand limited series that performed unexpectedly well with international audiences, so ‘Moria’ finding a broader fanbase outside Argentina could influence what happens next, particularly given the international attention biographical dramas about global icons tend to attract.

For now, fans eager for more of Casán’s story will need to wait and see how the first season performs. Given how much cultural weight Casán carries in Argentina, and the stylish, unconventional approach the series has already taken to her story, ‘Moria’ certainly has the ingredients to justify a second chapter if Netflix decides the numbers add up, though nothing about that outcome has been decided yet.

Do you think Netflix should renew Moria for Season 2?
