Fans of the popular Spanish medical drama series Breathless on Netflix have some exciting news to share. Netflix has formally renewed Breathless for a second season, and fresh episodes are already in production, according to a report from Spanish news outlet FormulaTV!
Breathless (known as Respira in its native Spanish) debuted on Netflix in August 2024 and remained on the streaming service’s global top 10 charts for more than a month. According to What’s on Netflix, the series received 16.2 million views, or more than 103 million viewing hours.
Given that Carlos Montero, the co-creator of Elite, created the medical drama Breathless and that its stellar cast told compelling stories, it is hardly surprising that the show won over viewers around the world.
Is Breathless Season 2 Already In Production?
According to FormulaTV, the second season of Breathless will have eight episodes, just like the first season of the popular series. Despite Netflix not announcing the renewal, the website also states that filming is currently underway for the second season.
According to What’s on Netflix, there were rumors that season 2 started production in October 2024, and that more seasons had been planned before the show even debuted. The rumors seem to have been accurate.
It should be considered a no-brainer for Netflix to renew Breathless for a second season and any more that follow. There hadn’t been a Netflix original medical drama, even though shows like Grey’s Anatomy, The Resident, and New Amsterdam were well-liked on the service.
Now that Netflix’s American medical drama Pulse is due to premiere sometime this year, the streaming service has a successful original series that appealed to audiences and started laying the groundwork for a new genre that has been a mainstay of the small screen for many years.
Although cast and release date information for Breathless season 2 are not yet widely available, fans can make educated guesses about what will happen next. In the last minutes of season 1, a patient’s startling attack raises doubts about Jéssica’s future.
It is hoped that Netflix will soon release additional hints for the upcoming episodes. Based on its current production state, we may currently expect season 2 to launch somewhere in the summer or fall of 2025, however that is just an early forecast.
