Netflix's Unspeakable Sins premiered on July 30, 2025, and ever since, the dark erotic thriller has been keeping audiences guessing as they unravel the intricate plot. What begins as a tale of a woman's flight from a violent marriage quickly becomes mired in blackmail, secret s*x tapes, and one nasty struggle after another for control that escalates all the way to the heights of business and family stratification.

But though the season finale provided audiences with some closure, most notably with Helena getting her revenge at last against Claudio, it left very big threads dangling in the air. Even though renewed interest has been made, until August 2025, Netflix has not made any official announcement of renewing Unspeakable Sins for Season 2.

The final scenes of the season, however, especially the continued surveillance of Helena and Ivan, hint that danger is not yet over.


Below are five of the most burning loose threads still hanging over the Unspeakable Sins cliffhanger ending

1. Who is behind the continued observation of Helena and Ivan in Unspeakable Sins?

In the last scene of Season 1, Helena and Ivan are shown attempting to begin anew and initiate their lives in a new world away from their previous one. As idyllic as it appears, the camera silently implies that they're under observation. No names, no faces, just that unmistakable feeling that someone still controls the strings.

Was it an insider from Claudio's innermost circle? An entirely different menace? The ambiguity leaves the door very open for an even more sinister criminal or political player in the background, manipulating.


2. Are there even more s*x tapes still hidden out there or floating around in Unspeakable Sins?

One of the largest aspects of the operation was Claudio employing such graphic videos as blackmail to bully and coerce others. Though Helena appropriates some of this evidence, how large Claudio's operation was is never specified. Are there additional tapes still out there? Who are the remaining victims?

The possibility that these tapes will reappear could not only destroy Helena and Ivan's tenuous peace but place others in their social and political sphere at risk.


3. What will be the consequence of Claudio's death in Unspeakable Sins?

Helena's murder of Claudio was an introduction and a climax. It ended one horrible chapter, but the aftershocks of his demise have yet to subside. No guarantee the authorities won't start inquiring. Claudio's association with law and order, and organized authority, holds out the threat of institutional revenge.

Will someone step forward to avenge him? Or worse, will Helena and Ivan be forced to suffer what they did under the spotlight of legality?


4. What happened to the missing reporter in Unspeakable Sins?

Midway through the season, one of the show's lead characters, who is a journalist, threatens an even bigger scandal. But his case is never answered. Did he get too close to something evil and get silenced? Was he part of the conspiracy the whole time?

His vanishing increases the paranoia that's already abundant in the final episodes. The second season would have to consider their purpose, either as a victim, bystander, or loose cannon who will not play by the rules.


5. Can Helena and Ivan ever really put the past behind them in Unspeakable Sins?

Most poignantly of all is if the heroes can leave behind what they've done, and what was done to them. Ivan's culpability, Helena's trauma, and their reciprocally intersecting actions over the course of the season make victim and perpetrator both unrecognizable.

Though they escaped in body, psychologically they carried it all with them. The show leaves audiences questioning whether redemption or peace even exists in a world constructed upon deception and survival.


Unspeakable Sins Season 1 may be concluded. However, its story is still far from reaching its peak. A lot of the narrative can be classified as unfinished and meaningful due to the cliffhangers regarding surveillance, blackmail, justice, and open-ended trauma.

Therefore, until Netflix makes a decision regarding the series, it is left with only questions, and a finality providing an impression that the real danger hasn't even started yet.
