The Perfect Mother is a Netflix thriller, mostly in French with a little bit of German spoken here and there. The story is based in Paris and Berlin which is an obvious indication of why the languages are spoken. The show was originally titled Une mère parfait. It is co-produced by French, German, and Belgian production companies. Perfect Mother borrows a lot of faces from German sci-fi shows like Dark and Messiah. The Perfect Mother has everything a crime thriller is expected to have. With Season 1 being out, here’s what we know about Season 2.
When Will Season 2 Release?
If there ever is a Season 2 (no news yet), it would not be that far fetched to speculate a Summer 2023 release of the season. This speculation is based on the fact that Netflix releases seasons only twice a year.
Is Season 2 Announced?
Netflix has not yet renewed The Perfect Mother for a 2nd Season. Just because the show is famous does not mean it will always be kept alive. Shows like Cowboy Bebop and Jupiter’s Legacy were doing quiet well, and even still, they stopped rather abruptly.
What Happened In Season 1?
The Perfect Mother is a thinker of a show. In the first season we saw four different versions of a series of events. They all lead to a man being killed. But of all of them not every single one can be the truth can it. It makes you wonder, which is the truth and which is not.
As the title does state, the mother plays a big role throughout the show. The name refers to the mother of a young girl who has been accused of killing a young man. The mother suffers from an affliction as she believes her daughter to be an innocent, pure and good child. But instead here are accusations that completely rule that notion out, but the mother still sticks to her beliefs.
The Cast
The show plays Julie Gayet as Helene Berg, Eden Ducourant as Anya Berg, Tomer Sisley plays Vincent Duc, Andreas Pietschmann as Matthias Berg, Cyril Cuei as Capitaine Julien Mani, Sylvain Dieuaide as Franck, Maxim Driesen plays Lukas Berg, Emilia Noth as Mia, Hamila Ilter as Maryam, Hatik as Bash, Ines Spiridonov as Julie Gauthier, Frederique Tirmont as Elisabeth, Clotilde Mollet as La Psychologue, Vincaine Millereau as Claire Carnau, Charles Crehange as Damien Carnau, Eleonore Costes as Audrey Carnau, Julien Lopez as Kamal Mawasen and Saliha Bala as Mere de Farida.
Should You Watch The Perfect Mother?
If you’re into crime drama with a lot of questions and not those many concrete answers, this show is definitely for you. I enjoyed it as it gives the viewer a lot of thinking space and ideas to explore. A perfect combination of thrill and just a hint of mystery in the form of questions about the truth, this show is definitely on my must watch list for all you crime lovers. You can watch Season 1 on Netflix as of June 3rd, 2022.
