What’s Actually Going On in The Eternaut?
When Netflix unveiled its massive 2026–2027 Argentinian content slate, sharp-eyed fans noticed something alarming — The Eternaut Season 2 was completely absent from the official lineup. That’s when alarm bells started ringing.
Francisco Ramos, Netflix’s VP of Content for Latin America, confirmed what many feared: while Season 2 is in “advanced development,” no actors have started filming yet. The work currently happening is purely technical — early VFX conceptualization and pre-production. Ramos was candid about the ambition driving the delay, describing the scale of Season 2 as dramatically larger than what Season 1 delivered.
The way Season 1 ended demands a production step-up that simply cannot be rushed. The team is committed to delivering something worthy of the show’s extraordinary global success.
Just How Big Was Season 1?
To understand why Netflix is taking its time, consider the numbers. The Eternaut — based on Héctor G. Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López’s beloved Argentine graphic novel — appeared in Netflix’s global top 10 charts for five consecutive weeks, accumulating over 147 million viewing hours and 32.7 million total views by the end of 2025. It charted in 88 countries, making it arguably the biggest Spanish-language non-Spanish show in Netflix history.
With that level of success comes enormous expectation — and the creative team clearly doesn’t want to disappoint.
Could There Be a Season 3?
Here’s the one silver lining. Part of the reason Season 2 is taking so long is that the creative team is simultaneously planning a potential Season 3. The unprecedented success of the show has shifted what was originally conceived as a two-season story into a potentially longer journey. That’s genuinely exciting news — even if it makes the wait longer.
