Overview

  • Released on August 14, the El Marginal spin‑off quickly led Netflix in Argentina and reached No. 3 globally, according to platform data.
  • Producers and Sebastián Ortega confirmed a second season is already recorded, with Suárez joining as Nicole and new names like L‑Gante, though Netflix has not announced a release date.
  • Suárez’s absence from the first eight episodes stems from scheduling, with the production adapting scripts for her later entry, and she previewed her character in behind‑the‑scenes posts.
  • The female‑centered prison drama is set in La Quebrada and was largely built inside an abandoned tobacco factory in San Martín, with an intimacy coordinator overseeing sensitive scenes.
  • The launch drew outsized attention to María Becerra’s acting debut and a widely shared kiss scene with Valentina Zenere, while coverage also noted the posthumous appearance of boxer Alejandra “Locomotora” Oliveras.
