Who are the cast of Fake Profile is the question on everyone's lips, as the stellar actors bring the compelling tale of love and secrets to life.
Netflix drama Fake Profile sees Cabaret dancer Camila create an online dating profile, in search of her perfect love. Matching with cosmetic surgeon Fernando, their instant connection leads to many steamy hook ups in Las Vegas. Things go rapidly downhill when Camila surprises Fernando by visiting his hometown in Colombia, discovering he is living a double life and has faked his entire identity. Taking the huge step of moving in next door to him, Camila sets out unravel Fernando's web of lies, finding herself embroiled in a dangerous game of sex, lies, and manipulation in the process.
Fake Profile follows in the footsteps of another erotic infatuation drama on the streamer, that also had fans asking who stars in Obsession on Netflix? Fans were also keen to know if the show was based on a true story, while the Obsession ending was not a happy one; although this appeared to be a foregone conclusion right from the start.

I leave you these photos that we took when I was shooting Fake Profile."
Will there be a season 2 of Fake Profile?
Netflix is yet to confirm whether Fake Profile will return for a second season. The streamer usually waits for a month's worth of streaming figures before making a decision, with this date falling at the end of June.
The series finale left the door wide open for it to continue, and it's not billed as a limited series so we are keeping everything crossed for a second outing. Once Netflix have had time to see how many people tuned in to all 10 episodes, they should let the world know of their decision; but we know they can be fickle, with fans still in outrage over the abrupt cancellation of the hugely popular Lockwood & Co.
Fans of Fake Profile have come out in droves on social media to demand a second season. One fan wrote on Twitter "Fake Profile is so good. I binged watched the whole series yesterday. I know it has to be a season 2 coming," with another adding "Fake Profile on Netflix tho! The chemistry between Carolina Miranda and Rodolfo Salas is undeniable! Season 2 plsss!!!"
Fake Profile on Netflix tho 😍🔥 The chemistry between Carolina Miranda and Rodolfo Salas is undeniable! Season 2 plsss!!! 😂😅💕June 5, 2023
Keeping their demands short and snappy, others simply wrote "I need #FAKEPROFILE Season 2 @netflix" and #FakeProfile is wild lol. I need season 2. Everybody is crazy af."
If you're looking for more steamy drama, season 3 of Bridgerton is on the horizon and there's bound to be love scenes galore. The current Bridgerton spin-off, Queen Charlotte, has left fans asking what happened to Reynolds - a deleted scene revealed what happened to the King's secretary. Viewers frantically searching for what illness does King George have in the series, might be surprised by the answer.
