What happened with the ending of The Cook Of Castamar?
Tatiana Rodríguez Vázquez is a script writer and adapted the novel by Fernando J Muñez for the screen. She has said that at the ending of The Cook Of Castamar that they struggled to bring Clara and Diego together as a couple.
She went on to state that it was hard to:
“Relate them in an organic way, there was also a moment when we considered that they would not end up together. But in the end, there is something of a romantic factor and a classic love story and that if they didn’t end up together was a very sad ending ”.
The writers felt that they did not want Clara to resign, although in the original book she marries and gives up cooking.
Fans everywhere were wondering if the Duke was going to end up married to the noble and beautiful Amelia Castro, and follow the wishes of his family.
However, we are so happy that Clara and the Duke found happiness at the end of this season, and we can’t wait to see what else life has in store for this couple.
Will there be a second season?
At the moment there has been no confirmation of a second season of The Cook Of Castamar.
However, the show was not originally made by Netflix, it was made by Atresplayer Premium in Spain, and simply distributed by the streaming giant in the US.
