The recent Spanish thriller drama Welcome to Eden premiered on Netflix on May 6, with all 8 episodes released at the same time. The show has an interesting plot in which young influencers who have family problems are called on a trip to a distant island to try a new product called Eden Blue. The 5 of the participants, however, are selected by the organizer of the event as “the chosen ones” who, after drinking Eden Blue at night, find themselves the only people left on the island. A drone leads them to a compound from where they cannot run away.
Season 1 ended on a huge cliffhanger when we saw Zoa’s sister Gabi arriving on the island as a new partygoer just as Zoa was about to run away. The series opened the way for Season 2 as we impatiently want to know whether Zoa is going to save herself or stay on the island to save her sister. The show was renewed for a 2nd season a few days ago so it seems we’re going to get the answer to our question. Until then, let’s look at Welcome to Eden cast members who keep the series alive with their amazing acting.
Belinda Peregrin

Belinda Peregrin, known as Belinda, is a famous Spanish-Mexican singer with more than 7 million monthly listeners on Spotify. She was the lead character in the Mexican children’s telenovela Amigos x Siempre (2000). In Welcome to Eden, she plays Africa, one of the chosen ones.
The 32-year-old actress does not seem to be lucky with her dating life as she and her recent fiance Christian Nodal, a Mexican singer, separated in February 2022. The couple started dating in 2020 and got engaged last year. The reason for their breakup remains uncertain.
