The second season of Mozart in the Jungle was just released on Amazon on December 30th. Star Gael Garcia Bernal recently spoke with Indiewire about why he took the role, season two, and what he’d like to see in a season three.
Garcia Bernal plays Rodrigo de Souza, a new, renegade conductor at the New York Symphony.
Speaking to Indiewire, Bernal said if there’s a season three, they can explore more areas of the classical music world. Already, the show has expanded from just the New York City classical music scene. In season two, the series takes a trip to Mexico City, Garcia Bernal’s own hometown.
Garcia Bernal, on a possible third season:
Well, I mean this time we toured Latin America. Definitely, we need to tour all the world. We need to tour Europe. I would love to– There’s many worlds of music that we haven’t touched. We haven’t done Bach. And that’s complicated. Bach is a world of surprises. And we haven’t done Chopin. We haven’t done many of the Baroques, who are very complicated. And we haven’t done opera. So, maybe.”
Additionally, he mentioned the show hasn’t even touched upon Chamber music or focused on a single pianist—all possible subjects for a future season:
And still from the classical time or the romantic time…I mean the neo-classical…there’s just so much that we haven’t done. We’ve tried to have a piano concerto but then we changed it to a violin concerto. We haven’t done a pianist. And that’s going to be interesting as well. … I’m just thinking stuff. There’s so many ways to go still. So many ways to go. Chamber music, as well. We haven’t done it. It’s always nice to have four instruments. Five instruments.”
All 10 episodes of season two are currently available on Amazon.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Mozart in the Jungle? Have you started watching season two? What would you like to see happen in a third season?
I really enjoyed it. Great storyline. Everything was awesome. I wish it was more than 10 episodes! there’s no reason for cancelling the show!
I love this series and cannot get enough of it!!
I watched all season two in two days!! I’m in love with you this series. Can’t wait for season 3
Brilliant. Just brilliant and this is coming from a profoundly deaf bloke! Do continue the show!
Binge watched first 2 seasons. Anxious to see the stories continue.
Binge watched, and now salivating for season 3.
Yes. I’m a fan!
Loved it can’t wait for season 3
I am officially in “The Show Hole” after binge watching both seasons. There MUST be a season 3. And 4… &5&6&7!!
Such a fresh concept to base a series around. Love the cast of characters – makes me want to learn more about classical music!
Love the series! Please Amazon continue it.
I loved it!! Can’t wait for Season 3
LOVE this series and definitely want to see more! The music, cast, characters, story line are all fantastic!
I absolutely adore this series, of course I love Classical music but, in addition I enjoy a good story line…Mozart in the Jungle has that.
Season 1 was great. Hope Season 3 is better than Season 2. The show is about Rodrigo and Hailey and there wasn’t much about the couple in Season 2. Instead it had a lot of content about casual sexual relationships.
