Following the successful release of the Argentinian thriller series, "The Kingdom" (El Reino) on Netflix, fans are eagerly waiting for the arrival of its next season. El Reino has indeed left an indelible mark on its viewers. The series has captivated audiences with its intense political intrigue and compelling performances, making it a must-watch for fans of the thriller genre. The question on everyone's mind is: Will there be El Reino Season 3? Here’s everything that we know about it.

On March 22, 2023, Netflix released El Reino Season 2, the captivating Argentine political drama, and it certainly lived up to expectations. While we've witnessed the debut of new shows like "Kaleidoscope" on the platform this year, El Reino continues to stand out as an unparalleled viewing experience that undoubtedly satisfies its dedicated fanbase.

Since its initial premiere in 2021, the series has resonated deeply with fans of the genre, and Netflix has consistently delivered compelling titles like "Ozark" and "Better Call Saul." This track record has only intensified the anticipation surrounding the future of El Reino.

The masterminds behind this gripping series are creators Marcelo Piñeyro and Claudia Piñeiro, with co-direction by Marcelo and Miguel Cohan. The ensemble cast features talented actors including Diego Peretti as Emilio Vázquez Pena, Chino Darín as Julio Clamens, Nancy Dupláa as Roberta Candia, Joaquín Furriel as Rubén Osorio, Peter Lanzani as Tadeo Vazquez, and Mercedes Morán as Elena Vázquez Pena.

The story revolves around Pastor Emilio Vázquez Pena, played by Diego Peretti, who becomes a candidate for vice president in Argentina. However, when his running mate is assassinated, Emilio takes on the role of a presidential candidate while authorities investigate the crime. In the latest season, two years have passed, and Emilio is now the president of Argentina. However, things don't go as planned, and he finds himself manipulated by a character named Osorio.

Despite this, Emilio continues to fight, gathering allies and even forming his army to establish control through fear. The conflict between good and evil intensifies, with Emilio's main opponent being Tadeo, who becomes a popular leader determined to uncover the truth.

Meanwhile, Osorio confronts his past, and Tadeo finds strength in helping others. Towards the end, a journalist named Alejandra Orsi tries to expose Emilio's abuse of young boys within the Church of Light. Tadeo, aware of the situation, tries to reveal his abuse by Emilio but is shot and killed during a live broadcast. The situation is taken over by the secret services, Emilio resigns, and a new administration takes control. Chaos ensues, but Tadeo's sacrifice gives hope as more people join the movement he started.

While Netflix has labeled El Reino Season 2 as the final one, there are still unanswered questions that could be explored if the show continues. For example, the mystery of Remigio Cardenas' fate and the consequences Emilio might face for the abuse allegations. The development of Julio's character after Tadeo's death and Elena's involvement in the stabbing incident could also be explored. El Reino Season 3 would offer exciting possibilities to dive into unresolved storylines and further explore the complex dynamics and characters established throughout the series.
