The Eternaut Season 2 Is Confirmed: Here’s What We Know About the Epic Netflix Sci-Fi Return

BBG News

Among the numerous outstanding series scheduled for TV this year, none has grabbed my interest quite like “The Eternaut”. This Argentine sci-fi thriller about a man’s desperate search for his daughter in a frozen city after an alien invasion left me intrigued from the start. The cliffhanger at the end of its initial six episodes has kept me pondering since then. Now, it appears that some of those lingering questions might be resolved soon, as Netflix is planning “The Eternaut” Season 2.

I can’t hide my enthusiasm, but there’s also a strong sense of anticipation in me. I’m eagerly waiting for the Netflix-released adaptation of a groundbreaking graphic novel into a series, which promises to bring one of the most intriguing and original sci-fi tales of recent times to life. So, let’s delve into all the juicy details about The Eternaut‘s upcoming season 2.

What Is The Eternaut Season 2 Premiere Date?

Based on the fact that the first season was released in late April, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll find a release date for Eternaut Season 2 on Netflix’s 2025 schedule. When Deadline announced the series renewal in May 2025, no specific details or timeframe were provided, and as of now, there has been no announcement regarding when production will begin on new episodes. Given this information, it seems that we may not get to watch this engaging Netflix show until mid-to-late 2026 at the earliest.

As soon as I learn about the release date or timeframe for it, I’ll be certain to share that information with all of you. Trust me, you won’t want to overlook the comeback of “The Eternaut“.

The Eternaut Season 2 Cast

So far, there’s no news on which characters from the Eternaut series will reprise their roles in the upcoming second season. However, considering the storylines of the surviving characters, it seems unlikely that the actors portraying them wouldn’t return to see their tales through to the end.

It appears highly improbable that Ricardo Darín will not reprise his role as Juan Salvo, the key character in the series’ dramatic narrative. The same applies to his former spouse Elena (played by Carla Peterson), daughter Clara (Morz Fisz), and best friend Alfredo “Tano” Favalli (portrayed by Cesar Troncoso).

What Happened During The Eternaut Season 1 Finale

Caution: The following paragraph discloses crucial plot points from the final episode of Eternaut Season 1. It is recommended that you avoid reading further if you haven’t completed (or even begun) the first season to maintain your viewing experience.

The initial six-episode season of “The Eternaut” kicks off with a rather modest narrative centered around a band of companions who find themselves trapped in an apartment within Buenos Aires, following a strange snowfall that transformed their vicinity into a lethal, frozen wasteland where both the snow and air are deadly. As time passes, Juan Salvo decides to venture out from the safety of the apartment to locate his former spouse and daughter, aiming to provide them refuge. Yet, as events unfold, it becomes apparent that this isn’t merely an unusual weather phenomenon but rather an alien incursion.

At the end of Season 1, Juan and his fellow survivors manage to fend off and avoid colossal insect-like creatures, only to learn that a peculiar individual with an unusually high number of hands is manipulating these bugs and influencing humans using some form of mind control. The final scene of The Eternaut hints that Juan’s teenage daughter may also be under the influence of this alien intruder.

What Is The Eternaut Season 2’s Story?

Regarding “The Eternaut,” as it has so far adapted only half of Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López’s comic series, there is a considerable amount yet to be covered when the show resumes at some point down the line. In an interview with Deadline in May 2025, upon announcing the renewal, Netflix Vice President of Latin American Content, Francisco ‘Paco’ Ramos, hinted at what’s coming up in the next season.

In the upcoming Season 2, we’ll delve deeper into the scientific fiction ideas hinted at in Season 1. These themes will be thoroughly explored and expanded upon.

People who followed “The Eternaut” series might recall that the possibility of aliens wasn’t definitively shown or even hinted at until well into the storyline. Prior to the unveiling of the enormous bug-like creatures, the narrative primarily focused on the apprehension and bewilderment surrounding the enigmatic post-apocalyptic scenario where snowfall occurred during the Argentine summer, causing temperatures to drop drastically.

Since we’ve now met some of these extraterrestrial beings, the show has the chance to deliver a thrilling and captivating science fiction adventure that stands out from the rest.

Series Creator Bruno Stagnaro Will Be Back To Direct The Eternaut Season 2

Simultaneously, it was announced that the second season of “The Eternaut” would commence, and it was also disclosed that Bruno Stagnaro, the creator, director, and scriptwriter for every episode in the first season, would return to guide the upcoming season. Consequently, when “The Eternaut” resumes, we can anticipate a consistent style and narrative approach.

The Series Will End Following The Second Season

If things don’t take an unexpected turn, it seems like “The Eternaut” will conclude following the second season’s premiere, scheduled for the upcoming period. In a previous interview, producer Matías Mosteirin mentioned that the production team estimates they can wrap up the entire story in eight episodes, which would result in a total of 14 chapters for the series. Later on, Mosteirin stated:

For a short while, we can carry on with another season, but beyond that, it seems unfeasible. Artistically, this appears to be the cycle necessary to maintain the enigma and excitement of producing the series. We’re eager to test ourselves in the second season as much as we did in the first. Our ambition is to push further, both technically and creatively. We aim to apply all the knowledge we’ve acquired to accomplish feats in the second season that we couldn’t manage in the first.

This method is truly commendable, given that despite knowing their series was already a hit (with its release in 200 countries, dubbed in twelve languages, and subtitled in thirty), the producers are staying committed to their original vision. If the second season garners as much love as the first (it boasts a 94% critic score and 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes), we’re in for an exciting journey…

As a passionate cinephile, I can’t help but feel a surge of anticipation as I predict that The Eternaut will be making headlines in the upcoming weeks and months. Frankly, I can barely contain my excitement for its comeback, and I genuinely hope you all share this sentiment!
