Summary
- Fake Profile season 2 is highly anticipated after the sleeper hit success of the telenovela on Netflix.
- The show's unpredictability and over-the-top drama make it a must-watch for fans of complex TV shows.
- With no official release date yet, fans can expect a strong returning cast and more twists and turns in the story of Camila and her dark secrets.
Fake Profile season 2 is on the way, and after the first chapter of the Colombian telenovela was a sleeper hit for Netflix there's a great deal of speculation over what awaits when the release date arrives. Debuting on Netflix in 2023, Fake Profile follows a young woman named Camila who finds the man of her dreams on a dating app — but she soon learns her new beau has dark and shocking secrets. Despite not being heavily promoted the show found a huge following on Netflix when it debuted, so it's little surprise that Fake Profile season 2 is now on the cards.
What will happen in Fake Profile season 2 is impossible to predict, and therein lies the appeal of the show. Featuring more twists than even the most complex TV dramas, Fake Profile is a quintessential telenovela with over-the-top swerves and romance. Unlike the usual telenovela format which releases a ton of episodes each season, Fake Profile followed the Netflix formula and packed all of its drama into 10 streamlined episodes. As such, Fake Profile joins many of the other great non-English language Netflix originals that have found their way to the streaming service and gained an international audience because of its exposure on the platform.
The Most Recent Fake Profile Season 2 News
The most recent news for Fake Profile season 2 came in June 2023 when Netflix announced that they'd greenlit the Columbian telenovela for a second season. There's been little in the way of updates on the development of the next season since then. While the show is filmed in Colombia, it is possible that the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes are partly why there's been no word on development. Many productions shot outside the U.S. for studios and platforms like Netflix have experienced slowdowns, and this could be why there's been little announced for the next season of Fake Profile since it was confirmed.
Fake Profile Has Been Renewed For Season 2
Netflix was quick to greenlight another season of Fake Profile after the show became such an unexpected success. Fake Profile season 2 was renewed shortly after the first season arrived. Netflix announced the renewal on its official Twitter account on June 12, 2023.
Filming on Fake Profile season 2 is expected to begin at some point in 2023. So far however there's been no news on where the Columbian telenovela-style drama currently is when it comes to development and production.
Fake Profile Season 2 Cast
The best shows on Netflix often rely on a strong cast, and Fake Profile set itself apart by having an ensemble of great performers who really sold the show's over-the-top drama. The Fake Profile season 2 will likely see returning cast members like Carolina Miranda as Camila and Rodolfo Salas as Miguel, as viewers have been captivated by their steamy will-they, won't-they romance. Additionally, Manuela González could also reprise her role as Ángela after the season 1 finale made it clear she was intent on getting revenge.
Other supporting cast members from season 1 will also likely return for the Fake Profile season 2 cast, including the likes of Juanse Díez as Lucas Estévez, Lincoln Palomeque as David Meneses, Mauricio Hénao as Adrián Ferrer, and Felipe Londoño as Cristóbal Balboa. Though he seemingly died in the finale of season 1, Víctor Mallarino could also return as the evil Pedro Ferrer because death isn't usually a permanent condition in most telenovelas. Characters like Camila and Miguel somehow managed to survive certain death on a few occasions, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility that the villain of the series could somehow come back to haunt the lovebirds.
Fake Profile Season 2 Story Details
While it was clear that the ending of Fake Profile season 1 could be viewed as a conclusion to the story, the door was also left wide open for the possibility of season 2 in the near future. Fake Profile season 2 would likely see Camila's relationship with David tested because of the constant presence of Miguel, and with Ángela out for revenge, she might find a way to escape custody to exact it. Also, while Pedro was seemingly shot and killed in the season 1 finale, he might have found a way to cheat death and return to once again vex his son-in-law.
