Wrong Side of the Tracks / Entrevías – Picture: Netflix / Telecinco
One of the biggest Spanish-language show debuts of 2022 has been Wrong Side of the Tracks which dropped on May 20th, 2022. The good news is that a second season is on the way (and has already aired) so here’s what we know so far about what’s to come and when we could see it drop on Netflix.
Created by David Bermejo, the series revolves around a fed-up war veteran who takes matters into his own hands after his daughter falls prey to drug gangs.
It’s worth mentioning that Netflix doesn’t own the series outright. Instead, it was licensed to Netflix exclusively. Wrong Side of the Tracks aired first in Spain on the network, Telecinco.
Season 1 and 2 have both aired in Spain on Telecinco earlier this year with episodes 1 through 10 (which make up season 1 that’s now available on Netflix) airing between February 1st and March 22nd, 2022. The next 10 episodes began airing between March 29th and finished on May 17th, 2022.
Season 2 of the show consists of another 8 episodes bringing the total episode count up for the series to 16.
Here’s what you can expect going into the first episode of the new season:
“Without Irene or the hardware story, life isn’t being easy for Tirso. If that wasn’t bad enough, things in the neighborhood are getting even worse.”
Here are the episode titles (taken from literal translation – subject to change) for season 2:
- Episode 1 – Hang up the Coat
- Episode 2 – A Forgotten Car
- Episode 3 – Listen to the Heart
- Episode 4 – Jump into the Void
- Episode 5 – The Brutal Truth
- Episode 6 – All for Love
- Episode 7 – An Orange Pole
- Episode 8 – Mutton in C
When will Season 2 of Wrong Side of the Tracks be on Netflix?
One Spanish source confirms the show is likely due to hit Netflix globally before the end of 2022 but wasn’t able to specify an actual date.
Season 1 arrived on Netflix around 60 days following episode 8’s airing in Spain. If we apply a similar timescale for season 2, that’d mean we’d get the new season available in or around July 15th, 2022.
Netflix did not respond to a request for comment on the availability of Wrong Side of the Tracks.
