Translation: Exclusive: Skam España will have a third season
Domingo Corral, director of Movistar+ confirmed to us their happiness with the show
Skam Spain came to Movistar+ (and the internet) making little noise. The first season had a moderate reception, but with the second season, the fandom phenomenon has exploded. The original story centred on the character of Cris and the representation of a lesbian relationship has been applauded by the viewers, something which the channel is very aware of
"Yes, the second one has been very successful,"says Domingo Corral, fiction director of Movistar +," I think something similar happened in Norway, where the first season was less well known, because they launched the series with such a novel and innovative format that the public had to get hold of it. The second season of Skam Spain has been a success both on the platform and outside of it, so our idea is to do more."
With the impact that the series has had, it was expected that Movistar + would do more, but will there then be a third season? "Yes, Yes. We will confirm it shortly, but the prospects are very positive. The decision has not yet been taken 100%, but soon, because it is a series with which we are delighted, "Corral responds. On whether she will be focused on Nora and Alejandro, as the end of the second season suggests, she anticipates: "We have things in mind, but I still can not reveal it. The reality is that we are seeing what we are going to tell, although we do have two or three clear ideas ".
The director of the series agrees that diverging from the Norwegian version in Season 2 of Skam Spain has been a success: "I think the original format has to serve as a guide and inspiration, but you have to adapt it to the reality of Spain . Telling this story that we told in the second season was what is relevant now and I think we made the right decision. It is very nice that we get messages from young women through social networks saying that this season has given them security and strength to face a love story with another woman. It's wonderful when fiction has that transformative capacity. "
