What happens

Maradona, sueño bendito (English: Maradona: Blessed Dream) is a biographical drama television series. The series stars Juan Palomino, Nazareno Casero, Nicolás Goldschmidt, Julieta Cardinali, Laura Esquivel, Mercedes Morán, Peter Lanzani, Leonardo Sbaraglia, Marcelo Mazzarello, and Pepe Monje. Before the series premiere, it was confirmed that the series was originally renewed for a second 10-episode season. The series premiered on October 29, 2021 on Amazon Prime Video. In 2022, it was revealed that the second season had been delayed because Claudia Villafañe and Guillermo Coppola were suing for over $10 million in damages. They claimed they were not allowed to review the scripts for the first season of the series and, therefore, did not sign the necessary releases for those parts of their lives to be shown. In 2024, according to actor Nazareno Casero, a second season was scrapped due to his inability to resolve the legal issues. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
