Netflix Cancels Spanish YA Drama 'Olympo' After One Season

The decision follows moderate early viewership that did not secure a renewal under Netflix’s criteria.

Overview

  • Netflix confirmed that Olympo will not return, with TVLine, What’s on Netflix, and TuSubtitulo reporting the cancellation across Dec. 23–24.
  • Olympo debuted June 20, 2025 and logged five weeks in Netflix’s global top 10, totaling about 113.3 million viewing hours and 17.7 million completed views, per What’s on Netflix.
  • Creators had hinted at a continuation, but a Netflix representative at release said reports of a pickup were inaccurate, and by mid-December cast had not been contacted to return.
  • Coverage highlights creative criticisms, including thin character development and limited attention to athletic training compared with teen drama elements.
  • The show’s queer-inclusive and intersex storylines drew a vocal fanbase, and its cancellation factors into wider 2025 cuts to Netflix Spain titles and LGBTQ+ programming reported by industry outlets.
