When did Gentefied get renewed for season 2 at Netflix?

Official Netflix Renewal Status: Renewed (Last Updated: 02/26/2020)

We’re almost three months on from the release of Gentefied, and finally, Netflix has confirmed the series renewal for a second season.


What to expect from season 2 of Gentefied

While the Morales family was busy celebrating the birth of Erik’s newborn daughter, Pop was in trouble, getting arrested for an outstanding fine from a vandalism charge from six months ago.

We’re told that season 2 will see the Morales cousins fight to help their Pop stay in the country, all while dealing with new love, new babies, and estranged fathers.

In the first episode of the series, Pop was arrested for public urination and breaking a window, and after his bail out we never saw him return to court or pay a fine for his actions. In the final moments, Erik realized Pop wasn’t there, only for us to witness the family patriarch being taken away by ICE.

Without the knowledge of Pop being taken away by ICE, the Morales family will be desperate to find him. They may get lucky and discover the outstanding charges in Pop’s name, but he could still be deported from the country. Despite being a business owner, Pop is an undocumented immigrant. Erik and Lidia’s dream future of moving to Palo Alto, California, may have to be put on hold until Pop is brought home and the future of Mama Fina’s is secure.

Chris finally decided to dedicate his culinary skills to Mama Fina’s, but his father dropped a huge bombshell, offering Chris the chance to go to culinary school. With the ongoing chaos and uncertainty with the Morales, Chris might not be going to school anytime soon.

After a disagreement between on-and-off-again couple Ana and Yessika, will the pair reunite in the second season? Yessika believed that partaking in a food festival would have catered to gentrifiers, but Ana was more concerned with keeping Mama Fina’s alive.

Lastly, the future of Mama Fina’s is in huge danger after it was revealed that Vivian, an art connoisseur, plans to turn Mama Fina’s into a “theme pop-up food experience.”
