The Eternaut dives head-first into its post-apocalyptic world with a unique blend of sci-fi, political secrecy, and emotional depth.
Now that The Eternaut Season 2 has been confirmed by Netflix, fans are more impatient than ever to gain answers to the mysteries the first season left unanswered.
Below are five piping hot questions that The Eternaut must talk about in Season 2 if it hopes to hold onto its motion and narrative forte.
5 questions I desperately need The Eternaut to explain
Q1] What’s really going on with Juan’s visions in The Eternaut?
One of the most intriguing aspects of The Eternaut is Juan’s recurrent visions— transitory, uneven images that come into view only to blend memory, suffering, and…. possible sights of the future? At first, they seem like PTSD responses from his time in the Malvinas War.
But as The Eternaut goes on, these episodes start to bear a resemblance to more than just mere flashbacks. Juan seems to "slip" in between various moments in time, remembering things he hasn't even lived yet. This makes us wonder if he is merely remembering something strange or if he’s seeing what’s to come ahead.
If Season 2 holds onto this thread, Juan’s relation to time could turn into an important tool for understanding the alien incursion and possibly changing the course of its outcome.
Is he merely a survivor with PTSD, or is he sharing a relationship with time, making him a foreseer in this grim series?
Q2] Is “The Hand” really in charge—or is there something even worse?
The Eternaut Season 1 ends with a frightening revelation: an enormous being known only as “The Hand” seems to be devising the mind control of the humans.
But is it the real leader? This being seems to control people like a genius, but doesn’t seem to direct the alien forces. The bugs act individually, raising the likelihood that The Hand is just a part of a much larger connect of command.
In the original comic, Eternaut established a profound alien hierarchy, where The Hand was only a lieutenant of a far more threatening race known as “Them.”
If the Netflix adaptation plans to swell up on this mythology, Eternaut Season 2 could uncover just how composite and layered this alien invasion truly is—and how miserably outstripped humanity could be.
Q3] What exactly do the aliens want with Earth’s population?
Alien invasions in literature often orbit around well-known motives—territorial extension, resource extracting, or even human annihilation. But The Eternaut adds an alarming twist.
The aliens in this show don’t just want to exterminate; they want to repurpose. After the toxic snow, the bug strikes, and the kidnappings, survivors are mind-controlled and use them as weapons against each other. Why? That’s the fundamental mystery that I would like Netflix's Eternaut to confront in season 2.
Are humans being acclimatised into soldiers, workers working for something bigger, or something even more ominous?
Season 2 has the best opening to explore these reasons and decide on the motivations of the invasion.
Q4] Will Clara succumb to the aliens’ control?
By the end of The Eternaut Season 1, Juan’s daughter Clara is seen to be under the aliens’ control, yet she flaunts a rare capability to resist. In one of Juan’s visions, Clara surfaces in military uniform, possibly signifying her complete switch to the alien army’s cause and purpose.
But is that vision a foretelling or a probability? Clara’s inner fight—between her persistent humanity and the alien authority —is a convincing storyline that could add emotional deepness and catastrophe to Season 2.
If the show dares to make her into an out-and-out antagonist, it would create a shattering moral quandary for Juan and test the limits of love and individuality.
Q5] Could River Plate Stadium Be the Central Alien Command in The Eternaut?
Throughout The Eternaut Season 1, a bizarre blue glow places where alien impact is the sturdiest. This enigmatic light surrounds the area where The Hand controls people with the help of music, and in the final scenes of the season, a similar spooky glow emits from River Plate Stadium.
As Juan Salvo looks in its direction, overawed by a sense of déjà vu, it becomes more and more likely that the stadium is an important alien base.
Its tactical location down by the riverside and its bounded, defended structure make it a perfect base.
Intriguingly, the original comic showed the stadium to be a place of human resistance, not alien control. By overturning this detail, the show adds a discomfiting layer of allegory that could play out in Season 2 in a disturbing way.
The Eternaut left us somewhat high and dry in a freezing, petrifying world where nothing is definite, except that there is more that is coming. Season 2 must do more than continue on the lines of chaos; rather, it should also take its time and explain it.
The visions, the aliens, the hierarchy, and Juan’s daughter all need clarity if Eternaut is to live up to its unsettling premise.
