It’s time for another big breakdown of Netflix’s slate—today, we look at the upcoming Spanish movies and series that will be hitting our screens throughout 2025 and into 2026.
For this article, we’ll focus primarily on Spanish titles from Spain, which won’t include Spanish-language titles from Latin American countries – we’ll have more on those another time. Please note that all titles are subject to change, and this almost certainly doesn’t represent absolutely everything coming up.
This list does not include Spanish titles already released in 2025, such as Aitana: Metamorphosis, Valeria season 4, and Season 2 of The Snow Girl.
Many titles from Netflix Spain were highlighted during the Next on Netflix 2025 festivities at the end of January. During that event, we got first looks and news for dozens of Netflix titles from around the globe. VP of Content for Spain, Portugal & Nordics, Diego Ávalos, spoke about the success of Spanish content worldwide: “Last year, we had the honor of having four Spanish titles among the 25 most popular titles in the world: Berlin, Society of the Snow, Raising Voices, and The Asunta Case.” Ávalos also highlighted Netflix’s contribution to the Spanish industry during our 10 years in the country. “We profoundly believe in stories that connect, inspire, and reflect unique voices in every corner of our country, with a unique mission: to entertain audiences.”

New Spanish Series Coming in 2025 & Beyond
Billionaires’ Bunker / El refugio atómico
Genre: Drama
Cast: Miren Ibarguren, Joaquín Furriel, Natalia Verbeke, Carlos Santos, Montse Guallar, Pau Simon, Alicia Falcó, Agustina Bisio and Álex Villazán
Confirmed for Release in 2025 (Expected September 12th)
Cast for Billionaires Bunker
Post-Money Heist, Alex Pina had relative success with the three-season series Sky Rojo. His next big project (aside from another season of Berlin—see below) is Billionaires’ Bunker, which came to fruition after the global pandemic of the early 2020s. It features a big ensemble cast (including some familiar faces from La Casa de Papel) and is set in a fictional world where World War III is about to break out (lol), and the richest of the rich have the luxury to retreat into an underground bunker called Kimera Underground Park. This series explores the dynamic of having the rich and powerful all occupying the same small space. Netflix seems to have settled on the name of Billionaires Bunker for the series, but it’s also been called The Fallout Shelter. We’re told the series is eying a September 12th release, but that’s subject to change.

Confirmed for Release in 2025

When it comes to Netflix’s biggest hits from Spain, a few will almost certainly come to mind. One of those shows that is arguably Netflix’s most successful in-house production is Elite which concluded after a record eight seasons and a handful of spin-offs. That’s now been off the air for a while so we’ve been waiting to see what takes its place and the answer to that seems to be Olympo.
The series follows the best young athletes training at a prestigious High Performance Center and their dynamics of competing at the highest levels. Marçal Forés, Daniel Barone, Ibai Abad, and Ana Vázquez are amongst the directors for the series, with Ibai Abad, Alba Lucio, Jan Matheu, and Laia Foguet writing.

Carlos Montero is being kept very busy at Netflix following Elite. Breathless is his first major project, and next up is Rotten Legacy. First unveiled in March 2024, the Succession-style series centers on communication company CEO Federico Seligman, who has unexpectedly retired to take care of himself and recover from an illness he’d been previously keeping on the down-low. Now partially recovered, he finds his sons have fundamentally changed his company, and not for the better, with his legacy now at risk.

Nacho Vigalondo, best known The Neighbor, Time Crimes, and Colossal, is bringing to life the story of the well-known singer Yeuena. Here’s the official translated description of the new six-part series, which sounds like a bit of a trip:
“At the turn of the century, a comet crossed the Spanish sky, dismantling the laws of fame and success, disintegrating the border between the popular and the underground. For a couple of years, the covers and prime time hours were conquered by celebrities from another dimension. Creatures that until then seemed condemned to mockery and contempt and who captured our attention without adapting to any normality. A magical story where esoteric conspiracies, eternal nights, quantum bricks, multicoloured supervillains and an improbability turned star fit: Tamara.”
That Night
Genre: Crime, Drama
Cast: Clara Galle, Claudia Salas, Paula Usero

Renewed Spanish Series Returning for a New Season
Pictures: Netflix
As it stands, four Spanish Netflix Originals are coming back for future seasons. A report from the summer of last year confirmed that the comedy series Alpha Males will return for a third season this year. This series is also getting new international spin-offs, including a new German one due out in 2025. Filming kicked off on the next season of the Money Heist prequel spin-off Berlin series in early 2025, and some brand-new faces were confirmed to feature. There is no word on a return date just yet, though. The hospital drama Breathless (Respira) – Renewed for season 2 in late 2024, the series is already in production and should return in either late 2025 or 2026. Gangs of Galicia is the most recent renewal being announced at the Next on Netflix showcase in Madrid now set to return for a season 2.
Netflix recently ruled out (unsurprisingly) a second season of Raising Voices, and the only other major show from the past year or so awaiting a renewal decision is Iron Reigns. Any series released before 2023 can be presumed to not be returning.
