The Spanish mystery thriller The Snow Girl (La Chica de Nieve) has spooked people with its scary story, complicated characters, and constant tension. The show, which is based on a book by Javier Castillo follows journalist—Miren Rojo (Milena Smit) as she delves into the dark side of crime and finds secrets that are both scary and shocking. Amaya Martín, a young girl, went missing during the 2010 Cavalcade of Magi in Málaga. The first season kept viewers on the edge of their seats as Miren tried to find her. You thought the story was over, but Season 2 comes along with a new mystery, a dangerous game, and a web of lies that will make you question everything.
What Happens in The Snow Girl Season 2?
After the success of her book The Snow Girl, which tells the story of her search for Amaya, Season 2 picks up with Miren Rojo already a famous author. But her fame hasn’t changed how she works as a reporter. When she’s assigned to cover a gruesome murder tied to an elite high school, Los Arcos Málaga, Miren finds herself drawn into a new case that’s as dangerous as it is personal.
The season begins with a chilling twist: Miren receives an anonymous envelope containing a photograph of a missing teenager, Laura Valdivia, and an invitation to participate in a sinister game called The Soul Game. Miren quickly learns that this game is not like other challenges; it is a dangerous psychological test meant to “purify” the players’ souls. The rules are easy to understand: follow the clues and finish the tasks, or you will die.
As Miren learns more about the game, she finds a link between Laura’s disappearance and the death of Allison Hernández, another student. These two girls went to Los Arcos and were both caught in the same web of secrets. With each step, Miren has to face her own past, including the trauma of being raped, while also racing against time to keep another girl from becoming the next victim.
What is The Soul Game?
‘The Soul Game’ is the central mystery of Season 2, and it’s as twisted as it sounds. The game is run by a mysterious figure known as the Crow of God. It starts with a set of challenges that test the players’ bravery, loyalty—and faith. The game was created by Andrés Garrido in the 1980s. He was the principal of Los Arcos and the leader of a secret religious group called The Crows of God.
Garrido created the game to “purify” the souls of the people who played it, using Bible verses to explain the dangerous tasks. Young girl Alicia Martos was one of the first people to die in the game. She died during a test of courage. Her death was hidden by the wealthy families of the students involved, which kept the game secret for decades.
Today, Nacho, a troubled teen with a personal grudge, has brought the game back to life. Nacho, who turns out to be Laura Valdivia’s younger brother, becomes the Crow of God and uses the game to get back at people he thinks let his sister down. Borja, his partner, is a lonely boy who finds meaning in the game. But as the stakes rise, even Borja starts to doubt Nacho’s intentions.
The Soul Game isn’t just a physical challenge; it’s also a trap for your mind. Players have to face their deepest fears and darkest secrets, which can be very dangerous. Miren sees the game as a personal battle—because she has to remember the trauma of being attacked and make tough decisions in order to stay alive.
Who Was the Mastermind Behind The Soul Game?
Nacho (Hugo Welzel), a character who at first seems like a sad brother looking for answers about what happened to his sister, is the mastermind behind The Soul Game. As the season goes on, though, Nacho turns out to be a lot more dangerous than he seems.
Nacho is driven by very personal reasons. He feels that Miren didn’t do enough to help him find Laura, so he punishes her with the game. He also says that he killed Allison Hernández because he was sad and thought that her death would clean her soul.
It is both cruel and smart for Nacho to change the rules of the ‘Game’. He uses Borja as a pawn and makes him do things that are too hard for him. Nacho kills Borja when he tries to back out—showing how far he’s willing to go to stay in charge.
In the last episodes, Nacho captures Miren and gives her one last test: how long she can hold out. Miren is chains and is left to die. She needs to use all of her strength and smarts to get away. On a deserted beach, Miren and Nacho’s fight reaches its bloodiest peak, leaving both of them unconscious and covered in blood. Miren is still alive, but Nacho is officially dead, ending his reign of terror.
What Happens to Miren and Laura After the Event?
There are a lot of shocking revelations at the end of the season. Laura Valdivia is found alive after being thought to be dead. She ran away to be with Alberto Mendoza, a man older than her. She had a child with him. Laura chose to leave because she was afraid that her uncles would not approve. She would rather live alone than face their disapproval.
As for Miren, what she went through has left her physically and emotionally scarred. She goes missing after getting better from her injuries, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Jaime and her coworkers are looking for her but she is still not being found. In the last scene, a tape labeled “Miren 2009” is found in a hidden room during a police raid, which suggests that her past may still be following her.
The second season of The Snow Girl is an exciting ride through the worst parts of people. You won’t know what will happen until the very end of the season because of its complicated plot, complicated characters—and constant suspense. People will do awful things to get power, get even, or make things right. The Soul Game is more than just a game.
Since the show doesn’t give us many answers, one thing is for sure: Miren Rojo’s story isn’t over yet. Whether Netflix picks up The Snow Girl for a third season or not, the show’s legacy will live on, reminding us that some mysteries are never really solved.
