'The Accident' Season 2 on Netflix: Release Date, Cast, Plot and All About the Thriller Family Drama Revival

Published 12/11/2025, 10:55 AM EST

Netflix can be downright cruel, making fans wait for months or even years after dropping a binge-worthy thriller. That’s exactly the case with the Spanish-language sensation The Accident. The show, which shows the lives of four families caught in a heartbreaking tragedy, hooked the audience soon after it premiered on August 21, 2024.

What started as a seemingly child’s birthday party quickly went off the rails, spiraling into a nightmare. The 10-episode debut season explored the grief and pain of the families after three shocking deaths and one missing child shook them 

While Season 1 tied up many of the questions, it ended on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger. Now, Netflix has finally hinted at Season 2 of The Accident, and fans have plenty to unpack.

With new faces and old rivalries colliding, Season 2 is promising to be as pulse-pounding as Season 1.

What the new storyline of The Accident reveals

The first season of The Accident gripped audiences with its intense family drama, following the tragic deaths of Rodrigo (Yago Andreu Sandoval), Gabriel (Dhaniel Cardoza), and Mateo (Sebastián Guevara), along with the heart-wrenching disappearance of a child in a devastating bouncy castle accident. Season 2 picks up right where the first season left off.

 It follows the four families as they struggle to deal with their grief and start their lives back together. At the same time, tensions escalate with the two fathers, Emiliano and El Charro, as they find themselves tangled in even more chaos and conflict.

The best part is that the show is arriving sooner than anyone expected.
