change of tide (fish tail for Portuguese speakers) will be back for more on Netflix with a Season 2 order announced today by Netflix Portugal.
Loosely based on a true story, change of tide was released on Netflix globally in the May 2023 schedule with all seven episodes arriving on May 26, 2023.
Created by Augusto Fraga, the show follows a man named Eduardo who sees an opportunity to make a lot of money after a drug-laden ship washes up on his home island. The broad cast of the show includes José Condessa, Helena Caldeira, André Leitão, Rodrigo Tomás, Maria João Bastos, Albano Jerónimo and Afonso Pimentel.

Now, less than a month after the series first debuted on Netflix, it’s been confirmed that the show will return for another batch of episodes. It’s likely, as we’ve seen with some other shows lately, that a renewal order came early and we’re only now learning publicly about the future.

In a statement provided to outlets in Portugal, Augusto Fraga said (translated from Portuguese):
“Eduardo’s story could not end like this. For all the people who were moved, laughed and suffered with that group of friends from ‘Rabo de Peixe’, we promise an exciting and surprising second season. I feel very proud of the attention we receive, in the Azores, in the rest of the country and far beyond our borders. Once again, Portuguese talent will fill Netflix screens around the world.»
