The first season of ‘Thistle’ represented a new way of understanding the millennial generation in fiction thanks to a harsh and realistic portrayal of many of the problems facing them. The revolutionary vision of Ana Rujas and Claudia Costafreda has achieved great success that has dazzled critics and audiences. Now, the creators are ready to get back on track and continue Maria’s story. A second season which, they promise, will be very different from the previous one.
“Not so many people will come to us and say they feel identified. It will be something else a little more eccentric”explains Costafreda in an exclusive interview for eCartelera. “We wanted to explore another path. And that it is not so generational anymore. Of course we went to another place because María experienced something that is not usually experienced in our generation or in anyone else. It is a fiction that goes another way “Rujas adds.
Religion and Catholic motivations carry a lot of weight in ‘Cardo’. On this occasion, María accepts the teachings of Saint Teresa of Jesus to try to be on the side of the light. “It has helped us so that Maria has something to hold on to, a guide. She was a figure who represented that terrain of good for us. The more concrete in a figure, the more pleasant it is to create a symbology, an image, to write scripts with their sentences. Everything becomes more tangible”comments Costafreda. “It was very nice to see that many of St. Teresa’s phrases were very necessary for María at that time. I would also have clung to the book of St. Teresa of Jesus”the lead actress reflects for her part.
Part 3?
Both creatives are clear about the future plan of the series. And it is that, as they admit, they have no intention of giving “Cardo” a major run despite the popular success it enjoys. “At the moment we will not continue. ‘Thistle’ is ‘Thistle’ and that’s it. We are done with this second part”says Rujas, who believes María’s story is complete.
Season 2 of ‘Thistle’ debuts. in ATRESplayer Premium on February 12.
