Series overview
The story of the series is set several years after the events of Floricienta, and revolves around Margarita (Mora Bianchi), the daughter of Florencia and Máximo, who is unaware of her true origins and has gone through several foster homes.{{Cite web |title=Margarita, la secuela de Floricienta: de qué se trata y quiénes actúan |url=https://www.ambito.com/espectaculos/margarita-la-secuela-floricienta-que-se-trata-y-quienes-actuan-n5972266 |access-date=2024-08-24 |website=www.ambito.com}}
After stumbling upon a trendy arts center that offers a series of scholarships for talented young artists, Margarita decides to audition. The place is run by Delfina Santillán (Isabel Macedo), who after the encounter begins to suspect that the teenager could be the legitimate daughter of Florencia and Máximo, her sister and brother-in-law, and therefore the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Krikoragán and all its fortune, which she stole.{{Cite web |date=2023-11-30 |title=Cris Morena: cómo es Margarita, la secuela de Floricienta, los riesgos que tomó y por qué se filmó en Uruguay |url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/espectaculos/series-de-tv/cris-morena-como-es-margarita-la-secuela-de-floricienta-los-riesgos-que-tomo-y-por-que-se-filmo-en-nid30112023/ |access-date=2024-08-24 |website=LA NACION |language=es}}
From her discovery, Delfina realizes that the entire company she built based on lies, including the adoption of an orphan to pass her off as Florencia's daughter in order to appropriate the entire inheritance, is at risk of being destroyed after the appearance of Margarita, who is the true heir to the entire estate.{{Cite web |last=Basso |first=Iván |date=2024-03-25 |title=El primer trailer de Margarita, la secuela de Floricienta: qué pasó con Flor Bertotti y quiénes regresaron |url=https://www.infobae.com/teleshow/2024/03/25/el-primer-trailer-de-margarita-la-secuela-de-floricienta-que-paso-con-flor-bertotti-y-quienes-regresaron/ |access-date=2024-08-24 |website=Infobae |language=es-ES}}
