Netflix Italian series The Monster of Florence, which was inspired by true events, is the kind of show that gives you chills. If you’re looking for a Halloween binge, it fits the bill nicely.
Unless, of course, it’s already in the rearview mirror. Chances are high, given that it’s currently the most-watched non-English series on the platform, with 9.6 million views this week. In that case, you might wonder whether a sequel is coming. We won’t keep you in suspense.
The Monster of Florence Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t renewed the show for a second season. Moreover, it’s listed as a “limited series,” meaning that more episodes are unlikely.
That said, you never know. Viewership numbers are good, and the ending leaves room for a follow-up. If that’s the case, The Monster of Florence season 2 could arrive sometime in late 2026.

What Is The Monster of Florence About?
Inspired by true events, The Monster of Florence revolves around a series of murders that have unsettled Italy for decades. Now, they’re doing the same with the rest of the world.
Between the 1960s and 1980s, a serial killer terrorised the hills around Florence, targeting young couples parked in secluded spots. The show follows the investigators, journalists, and citizens drawn into the mystery. All the while, fear spreads and suspicion grows.
The series isn’t interested solely in delivering a definitive answer about who’s guilty. Instead, it highlights the violence, paranoia, and the limits of justice. It also focuses on a specific window into the investigation, leaving the door open for a potential Monster of Florence season 2.
In real life, a man was arrested and convicted for the murders. However, the Italian public believes the case to remain unsolved, and the Netflix show’s ending leaves viewers with a lot of questions. A sequel could expand the story in interesting ways.
