We Need a Season 2 of Netflix's Dark Desire a.k.a. Oscuro Deseo
It's hands down the sexiest show on Netflix.
- Dark Desire, or Oscuro Deseo in Spanish, is a steamy new show on Netflix.
- The 18-episode Mexican series follows Alma Solares (Maite Perroni) and Dario Guerra's (Alejandro Speitzer) twisting affair.
- The finale sets up a second season of Dark Desire. Here's what we know.
Dark Desire, or Oscuro Deseo in Spanish, joins the list of Netflix's Spanish-language fare we binge-watched in nearly one sitting—which is quite an accomplishment, considering the Mexican series is 18 episodes long. But how couldn't we watch obsessively, when the show is found at the intersection of You and the steamy sensation 365 Days?
Certainly, we're not the only ones following Alma Solares (Maite Perroni) and Dario Guerra's (Alejandro Speitzer) illicit affair, and all the drama it entails. Since premiering on Netflix, Dark Desire has landed on the streaming service's Top 10 chart.
The show hurtles toward a few major reveals. Who killed Alma's best friend, Brenda Castillo (María Fernanda Yepes)? Did Dario survive that fire? Are Leonardo (Jorge Poza) and Esteban (Erik Hayser) the most dysfunctional brothers in TV history, or what? The finale answers all of our major questions, except for one: When is season 2 coming out?
Here's what we know about the future of Dark Desire. If Ms. Netflix happens to be reading this article, the popularity of romantic content like Dark Desire, 365 Days, and Sweet Magnolias should prove one thing: You should keep 'em coming.
Right, onto the not-so-fun news. Dark Desire just came out, so we have no way of knowing its future. Typically, Netflix renews shows within two months of the premiere—like Élite, whose fourth season was confirmed two months after the third season dropped.
However, we're confident there will be a second season of Dark Desire. The finale concludes with the kind of cliffhanger that indicates the writers had further seasons in mind. Further, the show's popularity proves there will be an audience to watch them when they arrive. Until then, much like Dario and Alma, we'll remain suspended in a state of anticipation.
If it does get renewed, it's likely to premiere in 2021.
We can't predict when new shows will come out, due to the coronavirus pandemic disrupting global production schedules—and so much more.
Along with Casa de Las Flores and Narcos: Mexico, Dark Desire is among the many Netflix shows filmed in Mexico. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Bad Bunny (the latest Narcos: Mexico cast member) revealed production ceased on season 3 back in March, due to the pandemic, and it appears that production has not resumed. Back in April, Netflix donated MXN$25 million, or about $1 million, to Mexican workers in the film and TV industry.
So, uh, who killed Brenda?
(Spoilers ahead if you haven't finished watching!)
The finale of Dark Desire's first season reveals what happened to Brenda, Alma's best friend. Unfortunately, she only got one measly episode of fun before becoming the focal point of the series' propulsive murder mystery.
Tragically, in the second episode, Brenda is found in her bathtub with her wrists slit. Did she take her own life, as the police conclude? Or is there something more sinister at work, as Alma and Brenda's former lover, Esteban, think?
Indeed, Brenda took her own life—but there was something sinister at work. Brenda was in the middle of one of TV's most complicated love quadrangles. She was sleeping with Esteban, a private investigator, and with his brother, Leonardo. Leonardo happened to be her best friend, Alma's, husband. And it gets worse! Esteban was in love with Alma, not Brenda (and actually hired Dario to break up his brother's marriage). Finally, Esteban tried to frame Leonardo for Brenda's death as revenge for crippling him.
Phew. That's a relationship web so tangled it would send an advice columnist into convulsions. Long story short? Apparently, Brenda was compelled to kill herself due to an acute case of unrequited love.
Don't worry, though: Dario is alive!
Alma thinks he died in a factory fire, but, in a classic soap opera twist, he's actually alive. Huzzah! The final scene of Dark Desire takes place in Brooklyn, New York, with Esteban and Dario redefining the terms of their relationship.
"Now you work for me," Dario says. What does that mean? Only season 2 will tell—but we have a very good feeling it will involve more memorable scenes between Alma and Dario.
For fans, season 2 of Dark Desire can't come soon enough.
Based on fans' reactions on Twitter, the newly formed Dark Desire hive is activated and ready for season 2.
When we find out about the future of Dark Desire, you'll be the first to know.
