Netflix Sets Second Season of El Eternauta as Filming Nears

A bigger run signals Netflix's deeper bet on Argentine storytelling.

Overview

  • El Eternauta, which outlets reported Wednesday is now in pre-production, is slated to begin filming in the coming weeks.
  • Ricardo Darín said the new season’s development is already at an advanced stage, with producers pointing to a debut between late 2026 and early 2027.
  • Netflix’s Latin America content lead Francisco Ramos has indicated the season is expected to span eight episodes, up from six in the first run.
  • The show’s April 2025 debut drew 10.8 million first-week views and widespread Top 10 placements, helping drive the renewal.
  • The adaptation covered only part of the 1957 comic’s universe, so the team is planning a wider story with more intensive visual effects and larger set pieces.
