Netflix renewed Barracuda Queens for a second season early in 2024. Netflix’s Barracuda Queens season 2 is coming to the streaming giant sooner than you think. The main cast members include Alva Bratt, Tea Stjärne, Sarah Gustafsson, Tindra Monsen, and Sandra Zubovic. Additional cast comprises Izabella Scorupco, Cecilia Frode, Filip Berg, and Joel Spira (via Expressen).

Camilla Ahlgren, Sofie Forsman, and Tove Forsman have co-written the script of Barracuda Queens season 2, with Amanda Adolfsson taking over the director’s chair. The first season premiered on Netflix in June 2023 and tells the story of five young women who back up their luxurious and upscale lifestyles by planning and executing spine-tingling heists. The series reportedly earned 7.2 million viewers between 2023 and 2024.

Plot of Netflix's Barracuda Queens season 2

Barracuda Queens season 2 picks up in 2000. Lollo has already studied in Paris, but back home in Sweden, her friends have had a boring and normal life. Lollo’s return is a reminder that they need to evacuate the house soon enough but the question is: where is the money to move out? Previously, they promised Lollo’s mother not to engage in any more burglaries. 

As they think of other ways, they still miss the thrill and excitement. Considering there is big money in the art industry, nothing seems impossible for the Barracuda Queens. Fatima Varhos and Frida Asp at Asp & Varhos are producing season 2 on Netflix.
