Netflix has been killing it with dark thrillers recently, and That Night is no exception. The Spanish production, clocking in at six episodes, is the kind of show that slowly unravels its many layers, keeping viewers glued to the screen.
This approach works well. With 3.8 million views last week, it became the second most-watched non-English show on the platform, and the #1 title in four countries. Does that mean fans can gear up for a follow-up?
That Night Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t announced plans for a potential That Night season 2. Additionally, the thriller is listed as a limited series, and the story wraps up neatly by the time the end credits roll.
All in all, it looks like season 1 is all we get. Still, you never know. If the series becomes a hit, a sequel is never out of the question.
That Night Cast
- Paula Usero as Cris Arbizu

What Is That Night About?
Inspired by the novel by Gillian McAllister, That Night, originally titled Esa noche, is a psychological thriller about sisterhood, trauma, and consequences. The story follows three sisters whose bond is tested after a catastrophic decision.
During a vacation in the Dominican Republic, the youngest of the bunch, Elena, runs over a man with her car. Terrified and alone, she calls her sisters, Paula and Cris. What follows is a desperate attempt to cover up the incident. Their actions spiral into a lengthy chain of consequences.
Told through multiple perspectives and timelines, That Night explores family loyalty and guilt. Truth often becomes distorted when people protect the ones they love, but the past has a pesky penchant of never staying buried.
By the time the finale wraps up, we learn the sisters’ fate and get answers to pretty much all of our questions. This is the kind of show that provides food for thought, encouraging viewers to consider what they would have done in the characters’ shoes. That makes for engaging viewing.
While That Night season 2 is unlikely, the six episodes streaming tell a riveting story. Sometimes, less truly is more.
