Netflix revealed yesterday that “Rabo de Peixe,” the streaming service’s second Portuguese series, has finished filming its second and third seasons. The series will be released globally on the platform.
The Portuguese Netflix series is (very loosely) inspired by a real event, produced by Ukbar Filmes, created by Augusto Fraga and written by Augusto Fraga, Hugo Gonçalves and Tiago R. Santos.
Augusto Fraga and João Maia directed the second season, and Augusto Fraga and Patrícia Sequeira directed the third season, which promises more thrills and twists.
After the first season’s success, both in Portugal and abroad, the pace and adrenaline will remain high, but Eduardo and his friends will face new and unexpected adventures.
In the second season, three months after his departure, Eduardo returns and finds an entirely different reality in Rabo de Peixe.
The drugs he hid are no longer in Uncle Joe’s hands but are now controlled by an unexpected enemy, which sets off a series of events that will test the group’s bonds of friendship and loyalty.
The story focuses on the group’s unique friendship in an equally unique place: the Azores. Even as the drug business grows, they remain true to themselves and their community, facing unpredictable dangers with the same fun, emotional, and complicit spirit that has characterized them since childhood.
As already announced, the main cast returns with José Condessa, Helena Caldeira, Kelly Bailey, André Leitão, and Rodrigo Tomás. Renowned Portuguese actors such as Maria João Bastos, Afonso Pimentel, and Pepê Rapazote also return to enrich the series’ universe. The series also adds new secondary characters played by equally renowned actors such as José Raposo, Ricardo Pereira, and Paolla Oliveira.
