Has Olympo been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Renewed or Cancelled?
Olympo is the latest soapy teen drama on Netflix, armed with a group of dysfunctional characters, a simple but alluring premise and 8 steamy episodes to boot. Having watched the first season in its entirety, you may be wondering if this one has been renewed or cancelled. Well, wonder no more!
What is Olympo about?
Olympo is a slick Spanish teen drama set at CAR Pirineos, an elite training centre for Olympic hopefuls. At the heart of the story is Amaia Olaberria, a fiercely disciplined swimmer and captain of Spain's synchronized swimming team. She's been top of her game for years—until her best friend Núria suddenly starts outperforming her.
When another athlete collapses mid-session, Amaia grows suspicious. Something's not right at Olympo, and as she starts digging deeper, dark secrets bubble to the surface—rumours of performance enhancers, intense rivalries, and pressures that push young athletes past their breaking point.
What follows is a tightly-wound thriller wrapped in glossy teen drama. Expect simmering romance, fractured friendships, and plenty of scandal as Amaia fights to hold onto her place—and her sanity—while uncovering the truth.
Has Olympo been renewed for Season 2?
At the time of writing, Olympo has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Aniela has had a mixed reaction online from critics and audiences alike.
Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a second season.
The series has lots of potential, and we also know that Netflix tend to shine a much more favourable light on soapy international dramas like this. We've seen series like Eva Lasting and Elite run for quite a few seasons, so it definitely shines a favourable light on a renewal potential.
Having said that, we do also know that completion rate is a massive metric for these streamers so that could play a pivotal role here. For now, we'll have to wait and see what happens so take our prediction with a pinch of salt!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about Olympo season 2 at this point given Netflix haven't officially renewed or cancelled this one. Given the first season's conclusion, it does seem likely to get the nod for another season though but we'll have to wait and see.
The cliffhanger with the pool competition and Amaia tumbling to the bottom of the pool definitely asks big questions over where this one could go next.
If this is picked up, we can expect another 8 episodes, and perhaps more dramatic mishaps and plenty of soapy drama to boot too.
We will update this page when more information becomes available, so be sure to check this page out in the near future.

Eighties film icon unimpressed by 'gratuitous' modern day sex scenes
Greta Scacchi did not hold back on her thoughts on bedroom scenes and intimacy coordinators English-Italian actor Greta Scacchi says she wouldn't have benefited from an intimacy coordinator when she started her career in the 80s in Hollywood films including White Mischief, Heat and Dust and The Player. Asked if it would have helped, Greta, 65, said: 'I don't at all. Actors don't want to be choreographed into positions unless there's a real antipathy or a communication problem. Luckily, I didn't have that. The most discomfort I've had in those situations was with directors and their own… appetites, let's say. It sometimes gets muddied by voyeurism, and that leads to us being shown stuff that a lot of us don't want to see. That's where you need the intimacy coordinator.' Since 2022 Greta's screen appearances have been a little different. In cozy Australian murder mystery Darby and Joan on U&Drama in the UK, she stars as widowed English nurse Joan Kirkhope. She teams up with Australian ex-detective Jack Darby (played by Bryan Brown). The pair have a will-they, won't-they relationship in the series but Greta says both actors think it would be a mistake if their characters got together. Asked if things have changed today on TV, Greta highlighted in the Radio Times that sex scenes on screen were now very different. She said: 'In my 20s, the female voice was still struggling to emerge, directors were mostly male and simulated lovemaking was obligatory. But in the 80s, it was soft focus and made to look beautiful and slowed down, whereas now I find it really gratuitous – this explicit rutting stuff is very odd to see. I find it so uninteresting, ugly and very compromising for the actors. It sounds funny coming from me, because I got labelled for nudity and sex scenes, but I don't believe it was a deserved label. 'I had a bed scene with Laurence Olivier [in 1984's The Ebony Tower] and that's where it started. I got that label. It made me wish I'd used a stage name.' Last year when promoting her work for Netflix show Bodies, Greta also looked back at her earlier work on screen. She told the Guardian: 'It was very clear to me even then that I was always being invited to play a male fantasy. I had to work very hard to punch some integrity into the idea of being a woman when I was placed inside that male gaze. "I've seen that change a lot, and there are so many more female directors getting attention, which is great, but the way older women get portrayed is often still very odd. Where are the glamorous – or even not glamorous – representations of today's older women? Where are the women who went through women's lib?' Greta was born in Milan, Italy but spent her childhood in England. She began working in theatre when she spent two years of her teens in Australia, where she began working in theatre. Her films include White Mischief, The Player and Emma. In 2024 Scacchi played Mrs Hardcastle in a 1930s-style update of Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer at the Orange Tree theatre, Richmond. On theatre work, she said: 'It's like my sacred space. As you get older, life itself continues to throw more challenges and dramas your way, and doing theatre, with its pace, its timings of rehearsals and its rules, makes me feel a bit more in control.' Greta has been in two long term relationships that resulted in children. She had a four year relationship with actor Vincent D'Onofrio, with whom she has a daughter named Leila George. They split soon after they had their first child in 1992. The split reportedly left her so distraught she was unable to work for four years - just when her Hollywood career was taking off. Later, she began a relationship with her first cousin, Carlo Mantegazza, and they have a son Matteo, born in 1997. This relationship ended more than a decade ago but was only confirmed years later in 2022 by her publicist. * The full interview with Greta is in the Radio Times, out now.

Squid Game creator: 'It's an allegory of the modern world'
The director and lead actor of the sinister Korean thriller Squid Game visited the UK for the first time. They told ITV News Entertainment Reporter Rishi Davda that making the show has had some unusual side-effects. The eerie Korean jingle that accompanies the violent 'Red Light, Green Light' challenge, still randomly finds it's way into my mind on a monthly basis. Squid Game raised the stakes of child's play, where hundreds of indebted individuals take on life or death adolescent obstacles with the promise of great wealth if they win. The first season of the show, which came out in 2021, is still Netflix's most popular show ever - that includes both English and foreign language content. It stacked up 265,200,000 views, while season 2 has 192,600,000. Whether it's the violence, the games, the whacky outfits or the intrigue of Korean content, Squid Game is a big deal when it comes to the world of watching TV. The writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk first created the concept of a feature film back in 2009, but 12 years later it was released to the world as a streaming series. He sees the characters and their decisions about how far they are willing to go for money, as a commentary on society, inequality and morality. "I think that is one of the main reasons Squid Game is so widely loved," he tells me. "Many thought that it's just a strange survival show, that's very entertaining and something to kill time, but once you watch the series, you realise that it is a satire and an allegory of the modern world." Adding, "it gives you food for thought and topics for discussion." Squid Game has won six Primetime Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe, much of that is down to it's lead actor Lee Jung-jae. As player 456, he's anchored the show's global success - a success which has boosted the number of people around the world learning the Korean language. Following the release of season 2, language learning app Duolingo noted a 63% increase in British people studying Korean. Lee Jung Jae was surprised by the statistic, saying "I never expected that to happen, especially because Korean is only usually used in Korea. "When we want to learn a language, we learn one that we can use in many countries. "To know that so many people nowadays want to learn Korean, I feel so grateful and I love to hear it." The third and final season of Squid Game is out on Friday 27 June on Netflix. Following in the footsteps of the previous 2, there will be no shortage of death, blood and violence. For director Hwang, the years he's spent working on the project has taken a pretty significant toll... especially on his teeth. "While I was making season one, I lost a lot of teeth," he reflects. "I had to take out 7 or 8. That is how much physical stress I was under. "Working on season 2 and 3, it was more physically demanding, because it look longer to film. "After that I had to take out 2 more teeth. Once everything was done, I let out a sigh of relief because I knew I would be out of that physical stress." Now, spoilers are bad at any time but a Squid Game spoiler could really ruin a whole session of binging... don't worry, I won't be spoiling anything. Season 3 was filmed straight after season 2, but the releases have been staggered, so Lee Jung-jae has been sitting on some secrets for quite a while. "Especially my close friends and people around me, they ask me for a lot of spoilers," he laughs. "They would ask me, 'Is season 3 really the final season?' or one of their favourite questions to ask is, 'When do you die?' "Of course, my lips are sealed, I will never tell them, I'm very strict about that."

Girls creator Lena Dunham reflects on the show's most iconic line 13 years on
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Lena Dunham has spoken about Girls' most memorable quote ahead of the release of her new Netflix series, Too Much. The new ten-episode series follows a New York creative and British romance movie lover, Jessica (Hacks star Megan Stalter), who moves to London after a bad break-up and quickly strikes up a relationship with chaotic musician Felix (The White Lotus' Will Sharpe). The show leans right into the messiness of life with two imperfect protagonists trying to process their own life traumas while building a new future together. This relatable, vulnerable, quality that Dunham, 39, imbues into her shows has long been a topic of discourse ever since her seminal 2012 HBO show Girls hit screens, featuring the iconic line delivered in the pilot episode. 'I don't wanna freak you out, but I think I may be the voice of my generation. Or at least, a voice of a generation,' her character Hannah Horvath confidently proclaims. Over 13 years on, and as she introduces a new complicated protagonist to the small screen, Lena reflected on the quote's larger-than-life legacy to Metro at the UK premiere of Too Much. @hbo Me, unprompted. #GirlsHBO #HBO ♬ original sound – HBO – HBO '[A] voice of a generation was always meant to be a joke… I can't even remember the line anymore. I think what's so important is that no one can be the voice of women, no one can be the voice of any community. 'A generation isn't a monolith, and something I love about my generation is the diversity of perspective. I feel like if I can bring light to a specific kind of experience that I'm connected to, that's wonderful. But what I'm most excited about is seeing all kinds of shows that tell all kinds of stories. 'I think British TV is a great place for that. I've just been watching What It Feels Like For A Girl, and it's so beautiful. I just feel so excited when I see a new voice that is telling such a specific and personal story. 'I didn't know what it was like to grow up queer in the early 2000s in Nottingham, but now I do… so that's always what I'm trying to do,' she said. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video In an interview with The New Yorker this month, she revealed that she had firmly decided against starring in her new show, with no plans to repeat the same scrutiny that came with starring in Girls. As for whether she had offered the 34-year-old any advice on how to handle being a Lena Dunham leading lady, she said:'Meg is her own incredible person, and she is so self-possessed. 'I learned so much from her, and I wish I'd had her in my ear when I was on a show. She [is] just is so elegant and wise and funny, so she's got it all covered.' As for Meg, it was a dream come true to work with the Catherine Called Birdy filmmaker on this project. She explained: 'I'm a huge Girls fan and it just felt like working with your best friend that you grew up with and who is also the most talented and confident director, writer, actor, so it just felt like heaven.' More Trending As for what may shock audiences the most, she joked that audiences shouldn't be surprised that Dunham writes 'such beautiful real scenes' and addressed the moment in the trailer which left everyone's jaws dropped. The actor said: 'You're crying one second and laughing the next, you know. It is shocking when a show does that, but I wasn't shocked because that's Girls. You're laughing, you're crying. 'The spit scene in the trailer, people were shocked over but they shouldn't be because spitting is kissing, so get over it!' Too Much comes out on Netflix on July 10, 2025. Got a story?
