Are you into shows that revolve around troubled but brilliant detectives? Then City of Shadows might become your new obsession.
With great reviews and an appealing cast, the Spanish crime drama has quickly climbed the charts to become one of the most-watched non-English series on Netflix. Whether that means more episodes are on the way, it remains to be seen.
City of Shadows Season 2 Release Date
As of late December, Netflix hasn’t renewed City of Shadows for more episodes. Given that it recently premiered, that’s not particularly surprising. The streamer sometimes waits to assess viewership before making a decision.
With 2.8 million views last week, the drama has made the Top 10 in 12 countries. Even so, it’s listed as a limited series on Netflix, so it might be a one-and-done affair. Otherwise, City of Shadows season 2 might arrive in late 2026.

What Could Happen in City of Shadows Season 2?
A Spanish production set in Barcelona, City of Shadows revolves around a series of macabre crimes. The story begins when a burned body is discovered hanging from the façade of one of Antoni Gaudí’s most famous buildings.
The crime shocks both the public and the police, so Inspector Milo Malart, a detective recently suspended for insubordination, is recalled to duty. Partnered with Rebeca Garrido, Milo must navigate political pressure and media scrutiny as he tries to figure out who is behind the brutal killings.
When more victims emerge, the investigation turns into a tense psychological game of cat-and-mouse. Like every solid crime thriller, City of Shadows seamlessly blends procedural shenanigans with character drama. Before you know it, you’re holding your breath, eager to find out how Milo will uncover what’s truly going on.
By the end of this first batch of episodes, the unsettling finale reveals the culprits. While that brings a sense of closure, Milo could return to look into a new case in City of Shadows season 2. Since the show is based on a book series by Aro Sáinz de la Maza, there’s already material for more.
