“Promised Land ss 2”: release date, announcement
In May 2022, it officially became known that the “Promised Land” project was closed after the release of the 1st season. Continuation of the TV series is not worth the wait.
Plot
Joe is not young for a long time, and the children dream of sending their father to rest as soon as possible. Many believe that the new generation is able to competently approach the expansion of the Sandoval family business. Veronica, his daughter, has been waiting for the last five years for her father to allow her to manage the production of wine, and she is increasingly insistent on her candidacy.
At first, Joe was not in the mood to hand over control to Veronica. There were still too many problems on the vineyards, many working Mexicans were undocumented, and this threatened with a real prison term. But after consulting with his wife, the head of the family decided to really retire.
Delighted, Veronica hurries home by car to tell her lover about the wonderful news — she has finally become the head of the company! While distracted by her phone, she accidentally hits a man. It turns out to be one of the Sandoval plantation workers — the guy helped the fugitive Mexicans get documents for living in America.
He was carrying a visa made for the maid of Joe. The police quickly figured out that the documents were fake, but finding the killer proved an impossible task for them. While searching the Sandoval home, the cops offer Joe to voluntarily turn in people from the plantation who are working without papers. The man is faced with a difficult choice.
At this time, Juana and an unfamiliar guy are trying to illegally leave Mexico for the States, going to the plantation where this guy’s relative works. They don’t know what Veronica has done yet, and hope they can get the paperwork by starting a new life here…
