When will season 2 of The Eternaut be released?

What will season 2 of The Eternaut be about?
Although nothing has been officially confirmed, the second season might explore parts of the comic that were left out of the initial six episodes. One element that could be included is the introduction of Los Manos, highly intelligent beings that lead planetary invasions.
The end of the first season drops strong hints about their potential appearance: in the final moments, Salvo sees one of these creatures acting from a gazebo, suggesting they’ll play a major role in upcoming episodes.
Another standout moment from the comic that could be adapted is the iconic battle at River Plate’s stadium—a pivotal episode in the war. In it, the characters face a wave of beetles and even a flying saucer. Since the protagonist detects strange activity at River at the end of season one, it’s highly likely the action will move to the Monumental stadium in the next season.
