Ariel Staltari, actor and screenwriter of the series "El Eternauta," revealed that the second season will have more limited time compared to the first. He emphasized that the work has reached a level of excellence unique and local in the science fiction genre, which is a source of pride.
The writing process for the series took several years, followed by a year of filming and another of post-production, reflecting the effort and dedication invested in bringing an iconic story to the screen. Staltari plays Omar, a character created specifically for the television adaptation, which generates great pride for his participation alongside Ricardo Darín.
The actor highlighted the significance of Omar's character in the plot, which challenges the stability of the main group of friends and explores the idea of the common hero, without supernatural powers. The series addresses social issues and the importance of collaboration and empathy among the characters.
Another interesting aspect of the plot is the setting in Buenos Aires, specifically in Zona Norte, featuring an alien invasion that involves Argentines, with cultural references associated with the Falkland Islands. This choice was not arbitrary, but seeks to highlight recognizable elements of local culture.
The work on the series required additional effort due to climatic conditions and the pandemic, which allowed for filming in snowy and challenging spaces. Staltari emphasized teamwork and the importance of the commitment and dedication of the entire cast and crew behind the scenes to achieve the final result.
The adaptation respects the spirit and original message of "El Eternauta," bringing new elements and approaches that enrich the story. Staltari indicated that the writing for the second season is already underway and that the process will continue with filming, asking for patience from the followers eagerly awaiting the continuation of the series.
