Always a Witch / Siempre Bruja – Netflix
Always a Witch (Siempre Bruja) is returning to Netflix for a second season in February 2020. Here’s everything we know about the second season of the fantasy series.
Netflix first announced the series in December 2017, but it took a year for the series to become a reality. It’s about a young witch who travels to the future to prevent being burned at the stake. It is the second full Colombian series to air on Netflix and was filmed entirely in Colombia, in locations such as Bogota, Cartagena, and Honda.

Angely Gaviria, who appears on the show had this to say (roughly translated): “The wait is over, we finally started the second season of ‘Siempre bruja.’ What a thrill!”

What we know about Season 2 of Always a Witch
Along with the renewal, we also got some new information. Specifically, we now know that Spanish actor Óscar Casas will be joining the cast for season 2. He’s appeared in titles such as Instinto, Si fueras tú and Si fueras tú in the past.
Also joining the cast for season 2 are Laura Archbold as Amanda; Sebastian Osorio as Miguel; Junior González, who will play Antares; and Joao Agredo.
Will the controversy continue in season 2 of Always a Witch?
The show has been criticized mainly because of the subject matter it covers and the ending, particularly the ending where Carmen Eguiluz chooses to go back at the end of the movie to live with her slave master.
Most of the controversy has been put down to cultural differences, but still, it’s sparked a debate on Twitter and beyond about how the series portrays slavery.
In a post entitled “How Siempre Bruja missed the mark,” the author went on to say: “Hiding behind the “love conquers all/ power of love” platitude like Carmen was not returning to the cruel reality as a Black slave in the 17th Century? No one is asking for these slave/slave owner love stories. That should not be a form of story development in 2019.”
