We heard back in September that 30 Coins, the HBO horror series created by genre regular Álex de la Iglesia, will be getting a second season. Now HBO Max has released a quick teaser trailer to confirm that 30 Coins will continue – but this also comes with the disappointing news that fans are going to have to wait quite a while to see season 2. The trailer ends with the information that the new season will premiere sometime in 2023. Directed by de la Iglesia from scripts he wrote with Jorge Guerricaechevarria, 30 Coins has the following synopsis:

Father Vergara is an exorcist and ex-convict residing in the small Spanish town of Pedraza, attempting to move on from a troubled past. However, paranormal phenomena start taking place in the town and he will need the help of Paco, the mayor, and Elena, the town’s veterinarian, to figure out a mystery seemingly related to a coin he owns, which might be one of the thirty pieces of silver paid to Judas Iscariot for betraying Jesus and handing him over to the Romans. The three will find themselves caught in the middle of a conspiracy involving the Holy See itself and threatening the world as we know it.

Like the first season, the second season of 30 Coins will consist of eight episodes. The show stars Eduard Fernández as Vergara, Miguel Ángel Silvestre as Paco, and Megan Montaner as Elena. Álex de la Iglesia made his feature directorial debut with the horror film Accion Mutante in 1993. Since then, he has directed The Day of the Beast, Dance with the Devil, The Last Circus, Witching and Bitching, The Bar, and the upcoming film Veneciafrenia, which kicks off a series of films de la Iglesia is producing for Amazon Prime Video and Sony Pictures International Productions under the banner The Fear Collection. He directed all eight episodes of 30 Coins season 1, and he’s doing the same for season 2. Are you a fan of 30 Coins? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
