'Turn of the Tide' Is Back: The Second Season Arrives on Netflix October 17
Netflix announced today the premiere date, first teaser and first images of the second season of the wildly popular Portuguese series Turn of the Tide. The second season will be hitting screens globally on the streaming service on October 17, with a confirmed third season that's already filmed and will also be released globally on Netflix.
In this new season, Eduardo (José Condessa), three months after his departure, returns to find a completely different reality in Rabo de Peixe. The drugs have changed hands, and the group's friendship is tested by new and unexpected enemies. A new business opportunity arises: is it really just one more time?
The main cast is back for fresh and unforeseen adventures: José Condessa, Helena Caldeira, Rodrigo Tomás, and André Leitão, while renowned Portuguese actors Pêpê Rapazote, Maria João Bastos, Salvador Martinha, Afonso Pimentel, and Kelly Bailey also make a comeback to enrich the series' universe. Additionally, this season introduces a wave of supporting characters played by acclaimed actors José Raposo, Caio Blat, and Ricardo Pereira - and marking a standout addition to the cast, Brazilian star Paolla Oliveira joins the story with a powerful and surprising role.
Produced by Ukbar Filmes and loosely inspired by real events, the series returns to the Azores with new chapters of friendship, ambition, and danger. The writing and creative direction remain in the hands of Augusto Fraga, who also directs alongside João Maia in this second season. Returning to the Azores, the story continues to focus on the group's unique friendship. Even with the growth of the drug business, they remain true to themselves and their community, facing unpredictable dangers with the same fun, emotional, and close-knit spirit that has characterized their group since childhood.
"It's a story about friendship in the middle of a storm. We pushed everything a little further this season - visually, emotionally, and narratively - while staying true to the pulse that made people connect with Eduardo and his incredible group of friends. It's wilder, more personal, and maybe even more raw. Because in the end, when the tide turns, all that matters is who you hold on to", says Augusto Fraga, showrunner of Turn of the Tide.
