What Is Hotel Cocaine All About?
Hotel Cocaine is a crime thriller series and is a creation of Chris Brancato. It is based on the story of Roman Compte (played by Danny Pino) who lived in exile in Cuba back in the 1970s. He was employed at a hotel in Miami, Florida called Hotel Mutiny while he was the insider for the DEA.
The story touches upon the hotel where a lot of drug operations took place in the 1970s and 80s. The episodes are written by Brancato, Alfredo Barrios Jr., and Kyle Hamilton.
The executive producers of the show include Brancato, Barrios Jr., Michael Wright, Michael Panes, Guillermo Navarro, Arturo Interian, and Nancy Cotton. Hotel Cocaine premiered on Sunday, June 16th, 2024 on MGM+. It was also released on Stan Original on June 17th. The first season will have eight episodes and the finale will be available on August 4th, 2024.
Is Hotel Cocaine Season 2 Happening?
MGM+ has not ordered Hotel Cocaine Season 2 so far. However, the first season has just started and it is too early to talk about a second season. The makers and MGM+ will look into the viewership and response of the entire season once it has concluded.
The ending of the maiden season will also determine what the fate of Hotel Cocaine will be. If it has a cliffhanger moment, then that increases the chances for another season. However, if the viewership is low and the ending is definite, then Hotel Cocaine Season 2 might not even happen. However, people who are liking the show are very hopeful about it.
Who Will Be In The Cast?
The first season has a very interesting set of actors. We can expect most of them to return for Hotel Cocaine Season 2 including Danny Pino as Roman Compte. Others who might return for the second part are Yul Vazquez (Nestor Cabal), Mark Feuerstein (Burton Greenberg), Corina Bradley (Valeria), Michael Chiklis (Agent Zulio), Don Mike (Omar), Mayra Hermosillo (Yolanda) and Cale Ambrozic (Howard) among others.
Some of them might not show up for the second season as it’s expected for some bloodshed to happen. Hotel Cocaine Season 2 will also take place in a different era and hence, a lot of new actors will be joining the team.
So it’s expected that the show will have a nice mix of old cast along with new actors. We don’t know when the second season will drop but if the makers speed up, we can expect Hotel Cocaine Season 2 to drop sometime in 2025 or in the early parts of 2026.
Conclusion
Hotel Cocaine has emerged as a gritty crime series set in the 1970s. It examines the time when drug creation and consumption was very high in the United States and a hotel was at the center of all this activity.
The series has just dropped its first episode and viewers are fascinated by the world, the performances of everyone, the writing, and the direction of the show. Just with one episode out, viewers are curious and are demanding Hotel Cocaine Season 2. We can only hope and expect MGM+ to greenlight it very soon and it will also have eight episodes.
