Streaming giant Netflix has decided not to renew the drama TV series Gentefied for a third season. This decision comes two months after the release of the second installment of the American series, on November 10.
The TV series never made it into the platform’s Top 10, which likely played a role in the cancellation decision, which usually factors in cost, viewership, and critical reception.
Created by Marvin Lemus and Linda Yvette Chávez, the television series follows the Latinos of East Los Angeles in their respective and collective quest for the American dream. Throughout the two seasons, the struggle of Erik Morales (JJ Soria) and his cousin Chris (Carlos Santos) to keep Pops (Joaquin Cosio) in the country while dealing with new love, new children and separated fathers is underlined. The protagonists fight to prosper, but along the way they wonder where they really want to be in a world of boundaries, family separation, and the potential loss of their beloved taco shop, Mama Fina’s.
Mexican showrunner Lemus has his next directing project with Netflix, the film I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter, adapted by Chávez and produced by Macro.
