The first season of Undone, released in September 2019 as an Amazon Prime Video exclusive, was a mind-altering exploration of love, pain, time, and a family threatening to fracture under the weight of its past. Starring Rosa Salazar as Alma Winograd-Diaz, an accidental time-traveler who uses her gift to investigate the circumstances surrounding her father’s death, the eight-episode series uses rotoscope animation to impart a dreamlike quality to the visuals that allows the fantastic to exist comfortably alongside the real.

The show opens with a car crash. Alma, distraught over a fight with her sister Becca that laid bare the fractures in their relationship and her own insecurities about her future, is crying while driving and her inattention results in a near-fatal accident. While she’s recovering in the hospital, however, Alma finds herself communicating with the spirit of her father, who died 20 years previously. By his request, Alma begins to learn to use her new power to investigate his death and perhaps change his grim fate. However, the present keeps getting in the way - Alma’s mother Camila is convinced she is mentally ill, and her boyfriend Sam is being less than honest with her. In the end it is left unclear whether Alma’s experiences are real or the product of a family history of mental illness, but the secrets of the family are beginning to come to light, and Becca and Alma are beginning to reconnect. However, the first season ended on a cliffhanger, with the most central question unanswered: is it truly possible to alter past events?

The show was produced by Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Kate Purdy, both known for their previous work on another adult animated series, BoJack Horseman. In addition to Rosa Salazar, whose previous work includes acting in and co-producing Brand New Cherry Flavor, the show features Angelique Cabral of Life in Pieces fame as Becca and Selena co-star Constance Marie Lopez as Camila. Rounding out the cast are Bob Odenkirk as Alma’s father Jacob and Siddharth Dhananjay as Alma’s boyfriend Sam. Bob Odenkirk is best known for his work on Breaking Bad and starring in its spinoff, Better Call Saul. Siddharth Dhananjay has previously co-starred in the crowd-pleasing indie film Patti Cake$.

Watch the Undone Season 2 Trailer

The trailer opens with Alma as her younger self, calling down into the mouth of a cave for her father. We transition to her at the end of Season 1, speaking to a mysterious old woman who seems to know more than she says about Alma’s gift. If she does, Alma will definitely need her help - it turns out that Becca has the gift too, but is reluctant to use it. Alma’s ability to reassure her is limited, however, since her powers appear to be on the fritz, lands her in a dimension of infinite fog with a single locked door. The mysterious woman makes another appearance to posit that the door is locked because Alma is afraid. It seems she isn’t the only one, though: her mother Camila is keeping some kind of terrible secret, and it’s clearly hurting her. We also catch our first glimpse of Becca and Alma’s grandmother, who is equally evasive about what secret Camila might be keeping. She may be the key to solving the family mystery, however, as Becca is seen bringing herself and Alma into Abuelita’s memory. As the trailer progresses, the scenes become more fractured and confused, possibly pointing to greater danger for the sisters ahead. The trailer ends at that same shot at the end of Season 1, with her father’s voice asking “Alma, what have you done?” This is the only time we hear from Alma’s father in the trailer - it seems that after two years we may finally get an answer as to whether Alma was actually able to change the past, and what consequences that act may have had.
