Italian shows, especially romantic dramas, are highly sought-after on streaming platforms, and Netflix knows this well. The platform released “Deceitful Love” to great success, with the series claiming the #1 spot on the global rankings just hours after its October 9 debut, according to FlixPatrol.
The title centers on Gabriella, a sixty-year-old woman who owns a luxury hotel on the Amalfi Coast. Her life has settled into a predictable routine, managing the hotel and navigating the distance of her adult children, who are absorbed in their own lives. That all changes when she meets Elia, a charming younger man the same age as her children, with whom she falls deeply in love.
Their story has captivated viewers around the world, sparking intense demand for a second season to continue this forbidden romance. Check all that is known about the possibility of “Deceitful Love” Season 2. Caution: spoilers ahead!
Netflix’s ‘Deceitful Love’ Season 2: Will it happen?
If you’ve already watched all six episodes of “Deceitful Love,” it’s understandable to wonder whether this Italian production will continue on the platform. While the ending doesn’t explicitly suggest a continuation, it leaves us curious about the future of Gabriella and Elia’s relationship.
In the final chapter, Gabriella tells Elia that she won’t marry him, believing marriage is pointless due to her past experiences. Instead, she proposes that they remain together without any boundaries or limitations. Aware of Elia’s initial intentions to take advantage of her, the protagonist declares in an off-screen statement, “Instead of dying with disappointment, I prefer a deceit that gives me life.”
Although Gabriella, her family, and Netflix viewers are still left questioning Elia’s past, it seems we’ll have to accept these uncertainties, just as the leading woman has. While it would be intriguing to explore a second season focusing on his legal troubles, the series doesn’t appear to be heading in that direction.
However, if another installment of “Deceitful Love” were to happen, producers of Italian series have demonstrated to be quick, typically releasing new seasons within a year. This has been the case for shows like “I Hate Christmas,” “Baby,” and “An Astrological Guide for Broken Hearts”. Thus, a continuation of this romantic drama could potentially premiere in the second half of 2025. Still, it seems unlikely, as the story finishes in a conclusive manner.
