Under a Dark Sun Season 2: Cast Reveals Shocking Twist That Demands a Sequel

BBG News

In simpler terms, the climax of the Netflix miniseries titled “Under a Dark Sun” (or “Soleil Noir”) has left viewers eagerly anticipating more, as suggested by the cast themselves. This gripping drama centered around a family mystery revolves around Alba, a woman who becomes enmeshed in the wealthy Lasserre family after accepting a position at their flower farm. When Arnaud, the family patriarch, dies under mysterious circumstances, Alba is named in his will and subsequently becomes the prime suspect, as her hidden ties to the family unravel.

In the course of six captivating episodes filled with suspense, betrayal, and domestic turmoil (much like Netflix’s The Perfect Couple), the series Under a Dark Sun draws to a close with an unexpected turn of events. It transpires that Alba is not Arnaud’s secret child as previously suspected, but rather the offspring of Mathieu – Arnaud’s son – who had a short-lived romantic entanglement with Nadia years ago. Unaware of Nadia’s pregnancy due to Arnaud’s coercion in driving her away from their property upon discovering their relationship.

Instead, Alba was kept at a distance from the Lesserre family during her upbringing, but was later reconnected with them many years later. Meanwhile, Nadia ensured Alba’s well-being by writing letters to Arnaud much later, sending him pictures of Alba as an adult and her son Leo, asking that they be looked after. In order to uphold her wishes and prevent any public scandal, Arnaud included Alba in his will.

In my perspective, it wasn’t Alba who took Arnaud’s life; instead, it was Manon, Mathieu’s other daughter. Motivated by vengeance, Manon acted against Arnaud for his part in committing Josephine, her mother, to a psychiatric hospital after uncovering some of our family’s secrets. As the climax of Under a Dark Sun unfolds, a surprising turn of events reveals that Nadia had secretly acquired the flower farm from under the Lesserre family, ultimately reclaiming what was once hers.

In the wrap-up of “Under a Dark Sun”, although many questions are resolved, there remains a surprising twist about the flower farm that opens up possibilities. The actors from the series express interest in exploring this further, with Isabelle Adjani (Beatrice) hinting at the potential for a sequel to their harrowing family odyssey. She expressed enthusiasm about reprising her role if such a project were to materialize.

It is uncertain what their futures hold following this destructive family trip. Certainly, it seems a sequel is warranted, and I eagerly anticipate its release.

Ava Baya, the main character portrayed as Alba, shared similar thoughts, expressing that she hadn’t been involved in those conversations but remained optimistic about potentially reappearing.

I certainly hope it does! I may not always be involved in these conversations, but I’d gladly advocate for it.

The idea for the series titled “Under a Dark Sun” originated from French creator Nils-Antoine Sambuc, who developed it specifically for Netflix. It made its debut on July 9 and features a cast including Guillaume Gouix, Louise Coldefy, Thibault de Montalembert, and Claire Romain.

What Could Happen in Under A Dark Sun Season 2?

Although Netflix hasn’t made it official if the miniseries could evolve into a full-fledged series, the cast appears eager and prepared if that’s the case. As hinted by the epilogue in the final episode of “Under a Dark Sun“, there are numerous aspects yet to be delved into for a potential second season.

As a cinephile, I find myself reflecting on the poignant scene where Nadia claims the Lesserre house as her own. This act might be seen as a triumphant resolution, a long-overdue restoration of what was unfairly taken from her when Arnaud drove her away from her family all those years ago. Yet, this turn of events could potentially pave the way for more heartrending family conflicts in future seasons.

How might the rest of the Lesserre clan respond to Nadia acquiring their ancestral farm? Is it possible that this place could serve as a refuge for Nadia and Alba, who have been apart for so long, to rekindle their relationship? What has Nadia been doing throughout these years?

This version maintains the original’s structure while using simpler and more conversational language.

As a film enthusiast, I can’t help but imagine an intriguing narrative twist: Alba and Leo, having settled into their tranquil post-farm lives, might find themselves drawn back to the Lesserre estate by the allure of rekindling a relationship with a long-lost family member. Such a return could serve as a compelling premise for a second season, allowing the series ‘Under a Dark Sun’ to neatly resolve some lingering plot questions, such as the fate of Alba’s grandfather, Thierry, and his pursuit of custody over Leo.

Netflix has a tendency to favor family drama series, as evident in their recent releases such as “Bad Sisters,” “Dead to Me,” and “Territory.” The popularity of these shows might indicate a promising future for the sequel prospects of “Under A Dark Sun.
