Max Renews HBO Original Series LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE For A Second Season Following Global Success

Salma Hayek Pinault Made The Announcement Today From London At An Event Where HBO And Max Content Leaders Presented Upcoming International Programming For The Platform

The Final Episode Of The First Season Will Air This Sunday, December 8 On Max And HBO Latino

Max confirmed today a second season for the HBO Original series LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE. The series has become the most watched Latin American content on Max worldwide and has climbed to rank among the top three most watched series on the platform during its premiere month. The renewal announcement was made by Salma Hayek Pinault, executive producer of the series, during an event in London where HBO and Max content leaders including Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content, and Mariano César, SVP of General Entertainment Content and Programming Strategy for Latin America and USH, presented top upcoming titles for Max globally.

"We are proud to see the success that LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE is having on international screens. It is an original Latin American production made with the highest quality standards that characterize HBO series, with an incredibly talented community of local creators and artists," said Mariano Cesar, SVP of General Entertainment Content and Programming Strategy at Warner Bros. Discovery for Latin America and US Hispanic. "This second season of the series will complete the story, fusing essential aspects of Mexican culture, such as magical realism and gastronomy, acting as forms of expression and connection. These themes are developed from a female perspective, in which the questioning of social and family mandates reinforces the current relevance of the narrative," he concluded.

Salma Hayek Pinault emphasized the importance of continuing to tell this story, as she believes there is still much to learn about the iconic novel.

"It's been incredible to see such an important Mexican story resonate with audiences around the world. We are thrilled to confirm a second season of Like Water for Chocolate and are looking forward to giving closure to such a strong and powerful story," shared Hayek Pinault.

The second season of the series will see the return of the protagonists: Irene Azuela, Azul Guaita, Ana Valeria Becerril, Andrea Chaparro, as well as the male leads Andrés Baída and Louis David Horné, among other great talents.

LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE is produced by Warner Bros. Discovery, Ventanarosa Productions, Endemol Shine North America and Endemol Shine Boomdog. The second season is executive produced by Salma Hayek Pinault, José Tamez and Siobhan Flynn for Ventanarosa Productions; Sharon Levy, Lisa Fahrenholt and Flavio Morales for Endemol Shine North America; Alejandro Rincón, Clara Machado, and series showrunner Jerry Rodríguez for Endemol Shine Boomdog; and Mariano Cesar, Vanessa Miranda and Anouk Aarón for Warner Bros. Discovery.

The first season credits include: lead writer and executive producer Francisco Javier Royo Fernández, better known as 'Curro Royo' ("Desaparecidos," "Capitán Alatriste"); series writers María Jaén ("Com si fos ahir," "Madres. Amor y Vida"), and Jimena Gallardo ("Ingobernable," "Como dice el dicho"); directed by Mexican filmmakers Julián de Tavira and Analorena Perezríos.

The first season of LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE premiered globally where Max is available last month. The final episode of this season will premiere this Sunday, December 8 on Max and HBO Latino. Tita and Pedro's love story and the flavor of Mexican culture will continue to reach audiences around the world with its second season.
