Netflix has a knack for creating thrilling stories that always take the viewers on a roller coaster ride and keep them at the edge of their seats. Be it action or comedy, the streaming platform has everything for everyone. However, there is one genre that has been doing really well on the service and that is none other than horror.

#Alive’, ‘Veronica’ and ‘Hereditary’ are some of the movies that have done really well on Netflix and have garnered positive reviews from the audiences. ‘Hereditary’ was one of the best movies of 2018 and even considered to be one of the movies that might get nominated for an Oscar.

Last year, Netflix brought something new to the table and used voodoo as a subject of a horror series. There have been a countless number of horror movies in which voodoo has been used as the primary source material, but none of the movies in the past presented it quite like Netflix ‘Mortel’. The original French-language series made its way to the streamer in 2020 and found a decent number of watchers. As a result, Netflix decided to renew the show for another season and fans are excited to see another set of captivating horror stories on their screen. Season 1 left fans with plenty of questions unanswered and after inconsistent renewal announcements, we are finally about to get our answers. Here’s everything we know about the series.
