30 Coins Season 2: Release Date and Cast Everything We Know About HBO Series

There is no doubt that, one year after its debut at the Venice Film Festival, 30 Coins (30 Monedas Temporada 2) continues to be one of the most risky, groundbreaking and ambitious Spanish television productions in recent years. And, despite being a compendium of lights and shadows, not as balanced as it should be, Álex de la Iglesia’s horror orgy made in Spain gave us eight episodes to remember.

Those of us who enjoy the HBO series and its cocktail of Lovecraftian possessions, witchcraft, cults and horrors are left with a great desire for more after an eighth episode that left the doors open to a continuation that, to this day, continues to be an unknown; but with the rumors about the second season of ’30 coins’ ringing louder and louder — albeit still in the air — let’s collect what — little — we know about it.

30 Coins Season 2: The History

When we spoke with Álex de la Iglesia and Jorge Guerricaechevarría in the last edition of the Sitges Festival, the director recognized that the original idea from the beginning was to make a trilogy. Specifically, he commented that “when we started writing we already had that kind of altarpiece in our heads, that kind of brutal triptych, and we are at it”.

Knowing this and considering how the first season was shelved, with Eduard Fernández’s father Vergara and Manolo Solo’s perfidious Santoro very dead after falling into the void – and this is seen on camera, so there is no doubt that their fate—, it is likely that the second part of ’30 coins’ will focus on the bulk of survivors, except last minute resurrections or visits to the past.

After eight episodes in which Macarena Gómez’s Merche opposed to become the great villain of the function, the character ended up fleeing Pedraza along with the disturbing Lagrange, taking with her one of the coins on which the series revolves; so it would not be unreasonable for this duo to face Miguel Angel Silvestre’s Paco and Megan Montaner’s Elena, who would occupy the light side of the scale.

More difficult to prophesy is the role that Angelo will have, the character played by Cosmio Fusco, who went for a walk in New York after changing his appearance and adopting the form of an Asian man. The international dyes that have marked the plot so far, it seems that they will be maintained, yes.

30 Coins Season 2: The Team

Beyond the director and screenwriter combo, we continue with the unknowns. The only thing we can assure for sure is that Álex de la Iglesia will once again take control of the hypothetical second season with his friend and head scriptwriter Jorge Guerricaechevarría, with whom he has been collaborating for eons.

On the other hand, the name with the most ballots to return within the technical / creative department is Pablo Rosso , a cinematographer who knows very well how to dress a horror movie or series and who has just finished his new job with the church, ‘Veneciafrenia’, which can be seen in the 2021 edition of the Sitges Festival.

30 Coins Season 2: The Cast

Let the speculation not stop! As we already commented in the section on history, a priori, the deaths of Santoro and Vergara leave Eduard Fernández and Manolo Solo out of the game , who would only return to a flashback or a miracle.

Those who are expected are the aforementioned Megan Montaner, Miguel Ángel Silvestre, Macarena Gómez and Francisco Reyes , leaving the unknown as to whether Angelo will again incarnate in Cosmio Fusco. Nor would the return of Pepón Nieto as Sergeant Laguna, Javier Bódalo as Antonio and some recurring secondary players who survived the escabeche in Pedraza, would not be unreasonable.

30 Coins Season 2: The Filming

At the beginning of September, certain rumors surfaced that the shooting of 30 coins would kick off throughout the month of October, but things could be much more up in the air than it seems. For our part, we have contacted HBO, but they have declined to comment. What is clear is that Álex de la Iglesia and Jorge Guerricaechevarría are closing the latest versions of the season’s scripts, as the director published a few days ago on his Twitter account

30 Coins Season 2: The Release Date

With no shooting start date and without knowing the status of the pre-production phase, it is impossible to calculate a potential release date. If we start shooting before the end of the year, we can forget about going back to Pedraza, at least until the fourth quarter of 2022.
