Welcome to Eden season 2 release date and reviews
Welcome to Eden season 2 arrived on April 21, 2023, and was met with middling reviews.
Unfortunately, it was also announced on July 7, 2023 that the show would not be returning for a third season, and had been canceled. The second season is currently sitting at a 77% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and reviews generally agreed that, while the second season was a step-up from the first, it still didn’t quite hit the mark.
Several reviews suggested that another season might have been enough time for the show to find its footing, but since things have officially been shut down, it looks like we’ll never know if that was true.
Welcome to Eden season 2 trailer
A trailer for Welcome to Eden season 2 was released on April 13, 2023, and gave a glimpse of the unrest and new threats brewing on the island.
Unfortunately, because the trailer was only released by Netflix’s Latin America division, there are no English subtitles. But there’s more than enough to see, and we get a proper look at the danger that awaits those that land up on the island.
At first, things look all well and good for these young party-goers, but things quickly take a dark turn. You can watch it for yourself below:
What’s Welcome to Eden season 2 about?
Welcome to Eden Season 2 centered around an island uprising, new threats, and more of Astrid’s nefarious scheming.
We will also see what happened to Zoa after season 1’s cliffhanger ending, where, after finally reaching a boat to escape the island, she caught a glimpse of her long-long sister, Gabi. Gabi had been recruited to come to the island along with a handful of others, so Zoa makes the decision to swim back.
Only, once she arrives, she’s caught by Nico. She manages to convince him that she’s come back for him. The new season also saw Ibón and Eloy fearful that the Eden Foundation will find out that they killed Ulises and disposed of his body. It’s all very dramatic.
Where can I watch Welcome to Eden season 2?
Welcome to Eden is a Netflix original, so you can watch it there.
This is where the first season lives, too, so Netflix is the place to be. Luckily, although Welcome to Eden has been canceled, there’s plenty new on Netflix to keep you occupied in the meantime. Why not check out our guide to Wednesday season 2, for more teen drama?
