Fans of Turn of the Tide are receiving great news twice. After Netflix renewed the show for season 2 in June 2023, the company announced today that filming has finished for both season 2 and a third season of the Portuguese drama. The show is about four friends whose lives change a lot after they find a shipment of cocaine.
The early renewal shows trust, as production will happen continuously in the new season. Based on the Netflix top 10 performance and new engagement report data, we see that the show spent just two weeks in the global top 10, gathering 19.89 million viewing hours since it was released on May 26th, 2023. During 2023, it gained more than 40 million viewing hours, which is equal to 7.6 million views. In the first half of 2024, it only reached 400,000 views.
During a visit to Tres Cantos earlier this year, plans for season 3 of the show were shared with journalists, including myself, over the summer. During this visit, we watched several shows being made and learned about future plans from Netflix Spain and Portugal. That being said, we weren’t able to discuss anything publicly until now. Diego Ávalos, Vice President of Spain, Portugal & Nordics at Netflix, hinted that more content is coming and that they are currently filming in a new location for future seasons.
“We’re shooting Rabo de Peixe season two and three,” Ávalos said when talking about authentically shooting productions and why local hits matter just as much as global hits, “Super successful in Portugal, which is what we focus on, and we shoot between Lisbon and Azores because it’s really an Azores story.”
Who Will Be In The Cast Of ‘Turn Of The Tide’ Season 2?
José Condessa, Helena Caldeira, Kelly Bailey, André Leitão, Rodrigo Tomás, Maria João Bastos, Afonso Pimentel, and Pepê Rapazote will all be back for season 2. The new season will also bring in José Raposo, Ricardo Pereira, and Paolla Oliveira.
When Will Turn Of The Tide Season 2 Be Released?
There is no release date for season 2 of the show at this moment, but Netflix has shared a new summary for the series: “In the second season, three months after he left, Eduardo comes back to find a very different situation in Rabo de Peixe.” The drugs he hid are no longer with Uncle Joe but are now in the hands of an unexpected enemy. This starts a chain of events that will test the group’s friendship and loyalty.
