Argentinian prison drama In the Mud keeps going strong. With season 2 dropping on Netflix only a few months after the first installment wrapped up, it’s now the fifth most-watched non-English show on the platform, globally.
The new episodes gathered 3.6 million views over the last week, making In the Mud #1 in four countries. It looks like nothing can halt the show’s momentum. Does that mean we’re just getting started?
In the Mud Season 3 Release Date
Netflix didn’t waste any time in giving In the Mud the green light for more episodes. The prison drama is coming back, as confirmed on social media.
The timeline, however, is less certain. The first two seasons were filmed back-to-back, which is likely why the show returned so quickly.
Depending on how production goes, In the Mud season 3 could arrive in early 2027.

What Could Happen in In the Mud Season 3?
Created by Sebastián Ortega, In the Mud is set in the women’s penitentiary La Quebrada. As expected, it focuses on the gritty realities of incarceration. Think power struggles, fragile alliances, and harrowing survival.
The story begins with Gladys Guerra, who lands in the maximum-security facility and meets a diverse group of women. Initially outsiders to the brutal world of prison politics, Gladys and her fellow inmates struggle to find their footing. Given that they’re also going against corruption, their fight is anything but easy.
In season 2, Gladys returns to La Quebrada following a short-lived attempt to live outside prison walls. However, the landscape has changed, and a powerful new inmate has assumed control of much of the prison’s internal economy.
Despite trying to keep a low profile, Gladys is pulled back into the prison’s political orbit. She’s also forced to take drastic measures to prevent a loved one from getting hurt. We won’t spoil much, but this installment ends with an explosive uprising that once again throws the power dynamics in flux.
That’s probably where In the Mud season 3 will pick up. Gladys will face fresh challenges, and the outside world could play a bigger role as well. We can hardly wait.
