The Morales cousins (J.J. Soria, Karrie Martin Lachney, and Carlos Santos) are back for Season 2 of Netflix’s Gentefied and as they’re fighting to keep their grandfather Pop’s (Joaquín Cosío) from being deported back to Mexico, the trio is dealing with drama galore.

The series, from creators Marvin Lemus and Linda Yvette Chávez, follows East Los Angeles Latinos on their respective and collective search for the American Dream.
Season 2—premiering Nov. 10— picks up after the emotional debut season’s finale that saw Erik Morales (Soria) and his girlfriend Lidia (Annie Gonzalez) welcome their daughter, Delfina. Amid all the happiness, Erik realizes his grandfather Pops (Cosio) is missing from the hospital celebration because he’s been arrested on an outstanding warrant and his beloved pick-up truck is being impounded.
