The Mess You Leave Behind Season 2 Update: Carlos Montero who is behind the smash hit Elite, had come up with his latest project The Mess You Leave Behind (or El desorden que dejas as it’s known in Spanish regions). But the chances of it returning with a Second Season on Netflix is highly absurd.
If you are in a dilemma of whether or not to invest your time watching the show due to the uncertainty here, then you need not worry as we can assure you that the show wraps up nicely and we are not here to give you any further spoilers.
Based on a novel, the series revolves around a young teacher who gives her marriage a second shot while moving to her husband’s hometown. And things begin to take a rather dark turn from there.
The reason for the show to not return with the second series is that it’s essentially designed to be a miniseries (or limited series as some regions label it).
The Mess You Leave Behind Season 2: Update
In an interview, Carlos Montero confirmed this saying (as translated into English via Google Translate):
“It is a miniseries. It is based on a book. I love series that have many seasons, but when they are conceived like that. I want ‘Elite’ to be Netflix’s ‘Grey’s Anatomy’. I want it to last 20 seasons. But this one has to last one. It is so.
I watch ‘Big Little Lies’ and I think:’ poor guys, why did they do a second season? I understand their overwhelming success, but usually, they had to tell what they had to tell.
What do I do if I do a second season? Do I make Raquel a private investigator? It does not make sense. You had to close it and I closed it like that. Like the novel “
However, we do have good news for the fans of Carlos Montero. Apart from the more dozes of Elite on the way, he’s also working on a new fantasy thriller called Feria, scheduled to arrive on Netflix later in 2021.
Feria will follow two sisters who find out another side to their parents after it’s revealed they’re monsters. The series will once again be spoken primarily in Spanish.
