Anticipation Builds for the Third Chapter in the YA Universe
The global success of the Culpa series continues to soar as fans eagerly await the release of its third installment, Culpa Nuestra (Our Fault). Writer-director Domingo González, who has been at the helm of this fantastic YA franchise, promises that Culpa Nuestra will surpass its predecessors in depth and storytelling. Slated for a June 2025 release, though without a confirmed date, this Spanish-language sensation has already generated considerable buzz.
The Road to Culpa Nuestra: A Trilogy Crafted with Care
The journey began with Culpa Mía (My Fault), which introduced audiences to Noah (Nicole Wallace) and Nick (Gabriel Guevara), two star-crossed lovers balancing the complexities of love, family, and societal judgment. The film's immediate success set a high benchmark, becoming one of Prime Video’s top international originals.
Building on this momentum, the sequel, Culpa Tuya (Your Fault), debuted on December 27, 2024, and elevated the stakes of Noah and Nick's relationship while exploring deeper emotional and narrative layers. Speaking to Deadline, González shared the team’s intentional approach:
“When you have success with a first movie, the second one is often not as good, and then the third one even less so. In this case, people are saying that the second one is better than the first, and everybody that has seen the third movie says that it is the best of the three.”
A Coordinated Vision
One of the reasons behind the series' escalating quality is its detailed planning rather than waiting for the audience's reaction to the first film, González and co-writer Sofía Cuenca had already penned the scripts for the sequel and threequel before Culpa Mía hit screens. This process allowed the creative team to maintain continuity, ensuring that each film could easily build upon the previous one.
This approach also enabled the series to avoid the dreaded “second album syndrome” that often plagues sequels. With Culpa Tuya already being praised as a step up from its predecessor, the team’s confidence in Culpa Nuestra reaching new heights feels justified.
A YA Franchise That Resonates Worldwide
Pokeepsie Films, part of Banijay Iberia, and Amazon MGM Studios, produce the Culpa films. They have achieved extraordinary popularity, with Culpa Mía ranking among Prime Video’s top 10 titles in more than 190 countries, including major markets like the U.S., UK, India, and France. The film also set records for Prime Video as its top international original movie to date.
The success comes amidst a boom in YA content, with titles like Germany’s Maxton Hall – The World Between Us breaking records for Prime Video. Yet, the Culpa series stands out due to its emotionally charged narrative, relatable characters, and cinematic flair.
The Fandom is Strong
The passion of the Culpa fandom was on full display at the Culpa Tuya premiere, held in Madrid’s iconic Palacio Vistalegre Arena. Over 4,000 fans and influencers gathered to celebrate the sequel’s release, showcasing the franchise's growing cultural impact.
As anticipation for Culpa Nuestra builds, this devoted fanbase is already speculating about what the third film will bring. González has hinted that the trilogy’s final chapter will be its most impactful yet, offering fans closure while expanding on the themes that made the series so beloved.
What We Know So Far
Though the exact release date for Culpa Nuestra remains under wraps, the film is currently in post-production, with every indication pointing to a June 2025 debut. González’s confidence in the threequel’s quality, coupled with the franchise’s track record, suggests that fans are in for an unforgettable experience.
As Noah and Nick’s story reaches its climax, Culpa Nuestra promises to explore new emotional depths while tying up loose ends from the previous films. With the franchise’s history of delivering stunning drama and earnest storytelling, the final chapter is set to cement its place as a standout in the world of YA cinema.
The Wait Continues
Until Culpa Nuestra lands on Prime Video, fans can immerse themselves in the first two installments and relive the drama, romance, and passion that define this extraordinary series. The countdown to 2025 has begun, and the world will soon discover if Culpa Nuestra lives up to its promise of being the best film in the trilogy.
Stay tuned for updates on the official release date and more insights into what lies ahead for Noah and Nick in this eagerly anticipated conclusion.
