Will there be a second season of 'Griselda' on Netflix?
Since the launch of its marketing strategy, Netflix introduced 'Griselda' as a miniseries. This classification implies, from the beginning, that the acclaimed production will not be extended to a second season.
A miniseries is characterized by being similar to a traditional series, but with a considerably shorter duration, generally between two and six episodes. A notable distinction between a miniseries and a regular series is the former's predetermined number of episodes, allowing the narrative to develop and conclude within that established framework.
In contrast, regular series often end with open endings, allowing for the possibility of future seasons or spin-off projects. Therefore, unless the creators and Netflix decide otherwise, 'Griselda' will not be renewed for a second season.
