🌊Turn of the Tide: Season 2 — Netflix’s Portuguese Hit Returns October 17

The tide is rising again in the Azores, and this time, survival is the only rule. Netflix has officially unveiled the return of Turn of the Tide (Rabo de Peixe) with Season 2 premiering globally on October 17, 2025. Following the explosive events of Season 1, Eduardo and his crew return to find their world completely upended — old alliances are tested, new enemies surface, and the drug business has never been more dangerous.

⚓ Back to the Azores: Where Nothing is the Same

Three months after his departure, Eduardo (José Condessa) returns to Rabo de Peixe only to discover a transformed reality. His American dream has slipped away, the drugs have changed hands, and his group of friends faces fractures that cut deeper than before.

• Sílvia (Helena Caldeira) is now pregnant and leading the business.

• Rafael (Rodrigo Tomás) is revealed to be alive but continues his spiral with old vices.

• Carlinhos (André Leitão) struggles with his inner demons.

But personal drama is only the beginning. A powerful Brazilian cartel, led by characters played by Paolla Oliveira and Caio Blat, arrives in the Azores, turning the tide in a ruthless new direction. In this storm of sharks, Eduardo and his friends must choose: loyalty or survival?

As Lord Krishna’s wisdom echoes, “Iss yuddh mein na koi mitra hai, na koi shatru” (“This war has no friends or enemies”), the stakes of survival are harsher than ever.

🎭 Cast: Familiar Faces and New Power Players

The beloved main cast is back:

• José Condessa as Eduardo

• Helena Caldeira as Sílvia

• Rodrigo Tomás as Rafael

• André Leitão as Carlinhos

They’re joined once again by Pêpê Rapazote, Maria João Bastos, Afonso Pimentel, Kelly Bailey, and Salvador Martinha, while a wave of acclaimed talent enriches the story:

• Paolla Oliveira (Brazilian star, making her debut in the series)

• Caio Blat

Together, they create a world where trust is scarce and every decision could mean life or death.

🎬 A Story Pushed Further

Created by Augusto Fraga, who continues as showrunner and co-director alongside João Maia, Season 2 promises to be “wilder, more personal, and maybe even more raw.”

Fraga explains:“It’s a story about friendship in the middle of a storm. We pushed everything a little further this season — visually, emotionally, and narratively — while staying true to the pulse that made people connect with Eduardo and his incredible group of friends.”

With striking cinematography, a darker tone, and higher stakes, the new season dives deeper into the cost of ambition, betrayal, and loyalty.

📅 Release Details

Season 1 of Turn of the Tide made waves, reaching Netflix’s Top 10 in over 30 countries. Now, with Season 2, the stakes are higher than ever, as Eduardo and his friends navigate treacherous waters filled with betrayal, cartels, and moral crossroads.

When loyalty clashes with survival, who will rise with the tide — and who will be swallowed whole?
