“Paradise is on hold…”
Welcome to Eden (Bienvenidos a Edén) season 2 premiered on Netflix on April 21st 2023 with eight episodes available to stream now. The Spanish thriller series stars Amaia Aberasturi, Belinda, Amaia Salamanca, and Sergio Momo. Each episode runs for approximately 42-52 minutes.
Zoa and her friends continue to fight for survival on the island, but things get more complicated when some new arrivals shake things up.
Here is the trailer:
Welcome to Eden season 2 picks up right where it left off with soapy thrills, insane twists, and a crazy cult that may have you rethinking your next vacation. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
The intense twists continue!
Season 1 did a fantastic job with this and I wasn’t sure if season 2 would be able to keep up, but it really goes all out and throws in some edge-of-your-seat moments that had me holding my breath!
This show is not afraid to kill off characters and it’s far from predictable, giving the audience plenty of guilty pleasure thrills to keep them binge-watching until the very end.
Couples to root for.
The character dynamics and relationships on this show really keep you invested. You care about what happens to these characters and there are some ships that will really make you swoon and then some.
The Cons:
A LOT to keep track of!
I highly recommend re-watching the first season prior to watching this or at least watching the recaps. I was a little lost in the first episode, but luckily everything started to come back to me by the time we got to episode 2.
That being said, there are a lot of sub-plots and tons of characters to keep track of. While I have come to expect the soapy and steamy fluff in this series, I thought they went a little overboard here at times. The episodes could have been a little bit shorter to keep the pacing going.
So am I in or out?
I’m in!!!!
While not as strong as season 1, season 2 doesn’t hold back and gives us plenty of shocking and steamy moments to enjoy. Fingers crossed that we get a season 3!

A VACATION TO DIE FOR…
When sisters, Nina and Gemma are vacationing in Hawaii with their friends, they get invited to an exclusive party on a private island that seems too good to be true. There’s only one rule…they can’t miss their ferry at midnight or they’ll have to wait until morning to leave the island. Only they didn’t realize that breaking this rule meant they would be hunted down on the island one by one.
Who will make it off the island alive?
I hope you enjoy my new island thriller!
