What should have been a joyous children’s party becomes a tragedy in popular series The Accident. The drama, which recently came out with season 2, explores what happens in the aftermath, and how the quest for justice entangles all families involved.
With 4.3 million views this week, the Mexican production is currently the third most-watched non-English show on Netflix. It’s also the #1 show in five countries where the platform is available. Does that mean season 3 is a sure thing?
The Accident Season 3 Release Date
At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t announced plans for a potential The Accident season 3. The second installment has premiered not long ago, however, and viewership numbers are solid. A renewal could be right around the corner, in which case new episodes will probably arrive in late 2026.
That said, the ending of season 2 offers closure for many of the characters. While there are still plot threads to explore, we’re not holding our breath.
The Accident Cast
- Ana Claudia Talancón as Daniela

What Could Happen in The Accident Season 3?
The Accident kicks off with a children’s birthday party. The celebration turns into a nightmare when a bouncy castle is lifted into the sky by a sudden gust of wind, killing three children.
At the heart of the series are Daniela, a police detective, and her husband Emiliano, whose son dies in the accident. As the community is left to pick up the broken pieces, suspicions and secrets emerge. Is anyone at fault for the tragedy? And how far are the families willing to go to get justice?
The second season plunges deeper into the aftermath of grief. Relationships continue to fracture and alliances shift, culminating in a tense finale that balances tragedy with hope. We won’t give away spoilers, but suffice it to say that several characters face stark endings.
That’s the main reason why The Accident season 3 seems unlikely. If Netflix does decide to renew the series, it could follow the characters as they attempt to move on.
