Netflix Cancels Spanish Sports Drama 'Olympo' After One Season

The decision reflects strict performance thresholds within a year of widespread streaming cancellations.

Overview

  • Netflix confirmed there are no plans for a second season, ending the series six months after its June 2025 debut.
  • The eight-episode drama followed young athletes training at the Pirineos High Performance Center in Spain.
  • What’s on Netflix reported 5 weeks in the global Top 10s, 113.3 million viewing hours, and 17.7 million completed views, yet reporting suggests metrics like completion rate likely weighed against renewal.
  • Coverage highlights the show’s queer-inclusive storylines, with LGBTQ+ fans expressing frustration and asking for closure after the cancellation.
  • Analysts frame the move as part of a broader 2025 retrenchment affecting Netflix Spain and other youth-leaning, queer-inclusive series, following mixed critical reception and early but unrealized hints at future seasons.
