Adapting the novel from Fernando J. Múñez,the Spanish series first debuted on the OTT platform Atresplayer Premium back in February 2021 although dropped on Netflix in Spain too earlier in 2021. It joined Netflix elsewhere within the world on July 9th, 2021.
Early top 10 data suggests the series is performing well in nearly all Spanish language regions. It’s also made an appearance within the US top 10 for 2 days on the trot. We’ll update this section once we’ve got a much bigger picture of how well it’s performing within the top 10s after 28 days on the service.
Has The Cook of Castamar been renewed for season 2?
No. neither is it expected. consistent with El Espanol’s Bluper blog (a very trustworthy plugged-in Entertainment site operating out of Spain), the show was only originally planned to be one season.
They also report that the show was originally thought to fall through on its face but surprised audiences and have become one among the highest-rated shows in 2021.
With all that said, that call might be reversed with one Spanish source implying there’s quite enough material for a second season.
The screenwriter for the show told Fuera de Series did speculate on where the story could go next, however.
Loosely translated, he says: “At some point we might consider losing Castamar, but the house would belong to his family and he would have left an income to his mother and brother because he’s not getting to leave them stranded.”
There is excellent news , however. The Ten Steps from an equivalent author is currently set to urge an adaptation however it’s unclear whether it’ll release on Netflix.
Ultimately though, don’t get your hopes up for a season 2 of The Cook of Castamar.
As we’ve mentioned, there are a plethora of other Spanish language period dramas to see out until season 2.
