Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López's popular comic served as the inspiration for the Argentine television show, which Bruno Stagnaro created.
The series, which is produced by K&S Films and Netflix, centers on a group of survivors in Buenos Aires after a catastrophic snowstorm brought on by an alien invasion. The drama, starring Ricardo Darín as Juan Salvo, is about survival and human connection in a post-apocalyptic world.
The Eternaut will have a second season. Due to the success of the series, Netflix confirmed its renewal mere days after Season 1 was released and the following season will build on the alien invasion storyline, resolving unanswered mysteries and answering significant issues posed in Season 1.
More about The Eternaut season 2
The bulk of civilization is destroyed in the first season of The Eternaut when a massive blizzard covers the whole planet. As they attempt to survive the aftermath, a group of survivors is led by Juan Salvo, played by Ricardo Darín.
They gradually come to understand that the snowstorm and bugs are a part of a larger extraterrestrial invasion as they struggle for survival against enormous alien creatures. Salvo also starts to experience strange memories and visions, realizing that he is seeing events in a non-linear way, as though he is "unstuck in time."
The season builds suspense as Salvo discovers that some of those around him, including his daughter Clara, have been taken over by aliens and are no longer themselves. By the end of the season, Salvo and his team had more questions than answers, especially over who or what controlled both aliens and humans. The season ends with a cliffhanger, setting up the next chapter.
Soon after the premiere of the first season, Netflix announced that a second season of The Eternaut would be available due to its popularity. As Salvo and his team delve further into the alien menace, fans can anticipate more intrigue and action in the next season. The season will go into the unanswered questions from Season 1, including the enemy's true identity and the bizarre mind control over people.
Season 2 will continue to solve the mysteries that left fans wanting answers, with additional episodes planned. As it builds to a suspenseful finish, the narrative will deepen the struggle and provide fresh perspectives on the invasion and Salvo's disturbing visions.
