Netflix is always keeping subscribers entertained with many new releases. Not all productions immediately become a hit with the critics and the audience, but their new sci-fi show is an exception.

It seems like a show that appears to be just another post-apocalyptic thriller, but beneath it is something personal, political, and real. While the world might be discovering the series through streaming, its roots stretch far back in time. So let’s know more about the people behind all of it, and their devastating tale.

In the realm of science fiction, very few stories seem to capture the raw essence of human resilience and existential dread as profoundly as The Eternaut. An Argentine television miniseries based on a comic of the same name, it was released recently on Netflix on April 30, 2025.

Within days of its release, the series was renewed for a second season. It’s a tale of survival, amidst an apocalyptic snowfall and an alien invasion in Buenos Aires, that resonates with universal themes of resistance, sacrifice, and the indomitable human spirit.

After a tremendously successful release, Netflix has renewed The Eternaut for a second season, which is intended to provide a satisfying close to the riveting plot. On Tuesday, May 6, about a week after Season 1’s premiere, the streamer announced the fantastic news on X with “The Eternaut Season 2 is coming.” It also came days after Deadline had a chat with Netflix’s Latin American programming boss, Francisco ‘Paco’ Ramos, and producer Matías Mosteirin from K&s Productions about their elaborate plans for the new season.

According to Mosteirin, the plan for The Eternaut Season 2 is to wrap the story “in a beautiful way” with a few more episodes than that of the freshman chapter. In his words, “We believe that we will manage to close the whole story in a beautiful way, with probably eight more episodes.” On the other hand, Ramos described the show’s sophomore run as a “very...

Welcome to The Eternaut, Netflix’s new sci-fi thriller that’s already snowballing into a global sensation!

Guess what? This isn’t some distant dystopia—in The Eternaut, bizarre things are happening right in the middle of a bustling city. And that’s the kind of horror that Netflix’s programming boss, Francisco ‘Paco’ Ramos aimed for. Speaking with Deadline, Ramos said the goal was simple: make you think, what if this happened in My city?

Netflix aimed for The Eternaut to be a thought-provoking thriller

If The Last of Us taught us to fear fungi and Bird Box made us blindfold ourselves to survive, The Eternaut has a new nightmare for you—snow. Yup, those...

If the dystopian show Silo and the apocalyptic series The Walking Dead had a comic book baby raised on existential dread and snowstorms—it would be The Eternaut. And guess what?

Netflix had a new TV Top 10 leader last week with the debut of The Four Seasons.

The eight-episode adaptation of Alan Alda and Carol Burnett’s 1981 romantic comedy scored 11.9M views in its first weekend of availability, after premiering on May 1. That’s a strong start for the The Four Seasons, which faced some tough competition due to the return of one of Netflix’s incredibly popular series, You.

However, it seems You has been off to a much slower start since it returned for its fifth and final season. Season 5 racked up 10.9M views from April 28 to May 4, which marked its first full week on the streamer. That’s up only slightly from its debut weekend, when it managed 10.1M views. As Deadline pointed out last week, Season 5’s premiere weekend was down compared to Season 4A and 4B. That remains true as Season 5 continues to track below the previous season.

The post-apocalyptic subgenre of sci-fi has gotten a big boost in recent years, notably with the Apple TV+ breakout Silo. But other streaming services have explored what a dystopian wasteland would look like, albeit with a lighter touch. That's been the case with Prime Video's Fallout, which garnered awards buzz and topped the streaming charts. Both shows are returning for additional seasons, buoyed by the audience interest they've garnered.

Netflix is well-positioned to put its stamp on the genre. The streaming platform releases hundreds of new shows each year, in several different languages. As proven by Squid Game, a title that debuts relatively quietly has a solid chance of breaking out and finding an audience. That looks to be what's happening now with a new Spanish-language drama that's winning over viewers and critics.

Netflix's New Show Continues To Make An Impact It's #1 In 13 Countries

The Eternaut debuted on Netflix in April.

The Eternaut has landed in Netflix’s viewing charts and also delivered a $34M financial boost to the country’s economy, figures from the streamer reveal.

The apocalyptic sci-fi series was produced in Argentina and largely in and around Buenos Aires where it is set – with international collaboration coming into play for the VFX and post-production elements.

Production of the drama – the biggest ever series out of Argentina – contributed over 41B ($34M at current exchange rates) to the country’s economy, Netflix said. It does not break out production budgets, but said its measure takes in the wider impact on Gdp. That measure factors in direct spending on the show as well as the ripple effect, which could be travel, tourism, or the boost to local stores and employment.

Telling the story of what happens after a deadly snow descends, The Eternaut has quickly topped Netflix’s global top ten for non-English-language series.

Netflix continues to release original movies and TV shows at a regular cadence. The streamer recently released titles like The Electric State (2025) and The Life List (2025), with Havoc starring Tom Hardy marking one of Netflix's most recent films. Havoc reviews weren't glowing from critics or audiences, but the gritty action movie has been a big viewership hit, topping the charts upon its release on April 25.

Though Havoc and many of the streamer's other big titles are presented in English, Netflix is a platform with a global reach, meaning non-English titles continue to be an important part of the service's offerings. Recently, Netflix released non-English titles like iHostage (2025), Demon City (2025), Counterattack (2025), Bullet Train Explosion (2025), and The Eternaut (2025–). Now, another recent non-English title has broken through.

Exterritorial Has Become A Major Global Hit For Netflix The Bilingual Thriller Just Beat Havoc

Exterritorial has just become a major Netflix global hit, beating some major titles.

Just confirmed as No. 1 on Netflix’s global Top 10 list of non-English language series one week after its premiere, “The Eternaut” plowed 41 billion pesos ($33 million), adjusted for inflation, into Argentina’s economy, Netflix has revealed to Variety.

The economic injection is an extraordinary indicator of the value of major international productions to local economies around the world.

Using common economic practice, the total investment, a measure of impact on Gdp, includes both direct production spending and its ripple effect throughout the supply chain. Netflix noted.

For the week April 28-Sunday May 4, “The Eternaut” amassed 10.8 million views worldwide, the production landed in the weekly Top 10 series in 87 countries, including Brazil, France, India, the U.S, Italy, Mexico, Germany and Spain, proving that Netflix hedged the right bet on Bruno Stagnaro’s adaptation of the iconic Argentine comic strip created by Héctor G. Oesterheld and illustrated by Francisco Solano López.

Upcoming period slasher No One Will Hear Your Scream is set during the 1990 soccer World Cup, and Variety reports today that Black Mandala has picked up international sales rights ahead of the Cannes Film Market.

The ’90s slasher hails from writer and director Mariano Cattaneo.

Set in Argentina, the film follows “Micaela, a young woman who works at a record store making mixtapes, as she discovers that a killer is connected to her through a compilation she created and sold. With each Argentina World Cup match bringing a new victim, Micaela races to uncover the murderer’s identity before she potentially becomes the final target.”

Sol Wainer, Byron Barbieri (“The Eternaut” ) and Germán Baudino (History of the Occult) star.

Cattaneo has described the film as “a physical and emotionally charged film, with football [soccer] as a backdrop, music as a conduit for emotion, and a coming-of-age story intertwined with both classic and modern slasher elements.

In news that’s sure to shock everyone, the merciless cancelation axe of Netflix will remain unswung when it comes to new post-apocalypse series, The Eternaut. Released at the end of last week, the streamer has already confirmed that The Eternaut, which follows a group of survivors as they fight to live through a mysterious, toxic snowstorm, will return for Season 2.

The boss of Netflix’s Latin American programming, Francisco ‘Paco’ Ramos, has revealed to Deadline that The Eternaut Season 2 will consist of eight episodes, two more than its predecessor, with the second series bringing the story to a close. Check out what Ramos has to say about the renewal below:

“Season 2 is going to be very important. It’s going to dig into a lot of sci-fi concepts that were just pointed out in Season 1, and they are going to be fully blown.” Mosteirin picks up the thread: “We...

The Eternaut on Netflix just came out on April 30, but the Argentinian series is already gaining a fanbase as it's made its way to the Top 10 row on the platform. It's not surprising given the apocalyptic/sci-fi element to it. And it seems like we're not the only ones who are fans of the show. Netflix is too!

The Eternaut season 2 has already been confirmed, according to Deadline. That means there's more story to tell from the series based on the graphic novel by Héctor G. Oesterheld. This is definitely great news for those of us who have already enjoyed season 1.

With the first season being six episodes, producer Matías Mosteirin told the news outlet that season will most likely get a couple more, coming in at a total of eight episodes. Netflix's Latin American programming head also shared the following with Deadline about the second season:

“Season 2 is going to be very important,...

Netflix is feeling generous lately, releasing more shows that managed to score a follow-up season. In recent months, the streamer renewed shows like Nobody Wants This, Running Point, North of North, and now granted an instant renewal to a just-released sci-fi show.

On Apr. 30, Netflix released the Argentine sci-fi survival seriesThe Eternaut. The show is based on the Eisner Award–winning graphic novel The Eternaut (El Eternauta) written by Oesterheld and illustrated by Solano López, which was published from 1957 to 1959. Just days following its release on Netflix, Deadline reports the streamer already has big plans for The Eternaut Season 2.

The streamer’s Latin American programming boss, Francisco ‘Paco’ Ramos teased what's to come for the show in the future, and revealed that Season 2 will wrap the story. "Season 2 is going to be very important," Ramos teased. "It’s going to dig into a lot of sci-fi concepts that were just...

Few sci-fi series in recent memory have arrived with the quiet force of The Eternaut. From its haunting depiction of a silent snowfall to its layered narrative of survival, time distortion, and alien control, the show crafts a singularly bleak atmosphere that lingers long after the final credits. As the last episodes dropped, expectations ran high—not just for answers, but for emotional and thematic closure. The mystery of the whiteout, the elusive threat of the Hand, and Juan Salvo’s fractured journey through time all demanded a deeper look. What follows is an attempt to unravel the ending of The Eternaut, explained not just through plot, but through character, emotion, and idea.

The Cataclysmic Whiteout and Juan’s Time-Altering Quest

At the heart of The Eternaut lies the whiteout: a lethal snowfall that descends without warning, wiping out nearly all life in Buenos Aires. The origins of this phenomenon...

As a literary medium, cartoons, comic books, and graphic novels have been used as a weapon wielded by writers and artists against oppressive state machinery since as far back as the 18th century, showcased through some of the most critical, influential political allegories like Maus, V for Vendetta, and Persepolis, to name a few. In a similar vein, renowned Argentinian journalist and writer Hector German Oesterheld penned his famous comic series, The Eternaut, to use the seemingly conventional sci-fi elements of an alien invasion theory to raise a voice against the autocratic military governance prominent across South America. The visionary nature of his work is demonstrated by the fact that The Eternaut acted as an ominous prediction of Argentina turning into an autocratic military state, and the writer perished along with a number of his family members in his efforts to counter the tyrannical forces in power. The characters in...

Netflix's new post-apocalyptic TV show gets an instant season 2 renewal on the streaming platform, just days after season 1 of the series dropped. The streaming service is home to some of the best post-apocalyptic TV shows in recent years, exploring a variety of worlds that have ended in a multitude of ways. Some of these include common ideas of world-ending events, such as the zombie apocalypse of Black Summeror the viral pandemic of Sweet Tooth. However, these ideas also emphasize the diversity of post-apocalyptic TV shows on the platform.

However, in addition to the popularity of post-apocalyptic shows, Netflix is also home to a variety of sci-fi series that offer interesting ideas across their stories. The success of these types of shows is reflected in their longevity, with Stranger Things season 5 and 3 Body Problem season 2 and 3 confirmed by the platform already. The latter series is also tied to apocalyptic themes,...

“The Eternaut” just premiered on Netflix two days ago, but a second season of the Argentine apocalyptic sci-fi series is already in the works to wrap up the story.

“Season 2 is going to be very important,” Netflix’s Francisco Ramo tells Deadline. “It’s going to dig into a lot of sci-fi concepts that were just pointed out in Season 1, and they are going to be fully blown.”

“We believe that we will manage to close the whole story in a beautiful way, with probably eight more episodes,” producer Matías Mosteirin adds.

A contemporaneity take on the 1957 Argentine comic written by Héctor G. Oesterheld and illustrated by Francisco Solano Lopez, the show follows a group of survivors in Buenos Aires who must resist an invisible threat from another world after a toxic snowfall kills millions.

The Eternaut, which launched this week and broke into Netflix’s top 10, will get a second season. The streamer’s Latin American programming boss, Francisco ‘Paco’ Ramos, delved into what’s to come during an interview with Deadline. Producer Matías Mosteirin from K&s Productions, meanwhile, tells us that the plan is to wrap the story in that sophomore run.

“Season 2 is going to be very important,” Ramos says. “It’s going to dig into a lot of sci-fi concepts that were just pointed out in Season 1, and they are going to be fully blown.” Mosteirin picks up the thread: “We believe that we will manage to close the whole story in a beautiful way, with probably eight more episodes.”

Netflix’s The Eternaut ended on a shocking cliffhanger revealing that there’s some larger power at play that has been mind-controlling the alien beetles and the human-robots to further their sinister goals with a wave of their hand. One could even hear hypnotizing music that gave Pied Piper of Hamelin vibes in this closing shot. Well, this entire sequence suggests that there is indeed going to be a second season of The Eternaut. The makers of the Netflix show have already shown their keen interest in finishing the story. They have only adapted a part of the comic strip, which is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. However, there hasn’t been any official confirmation from the streaming platform, as they might still be waiting for the numbers to come in before they make an official announcement. The thing is, The Eternaut is quite an expensive show,...

From The Last of Us to Silo, the world seemingly can't get enough of post-apocalyptic stories, with many of the top streamers dominated by the boldest of this genre. However, despite its popularity, it's likely some might fall under the radar, such is the constant and overflowing streaming of content global viewers now face. One such series to have only just arrived on Netflix is The Eternaut/El Eternauta, an audiovisual adaptation of the beloved graphic novel by Héctor Germán Oesterheld and illustrator Francisco Solano Lopez.

After officially releasing on the platform on April 30, the series is already the recipient of enormous praise, including from both critics and audiences on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. With initial reviews now in, The Eternaut already boasts a huge 89% critical score on the site, remarkably bettered by the near-perfect 96% score awarded from audiences. This high praise puts the adaptation in impressive genre-based company,...

The first reviews for the new Netflix post-apocalypse series, The Eternaut, have now started to emerge, and the series now has enough data to produce a rating on Rotten Tomatoes. So, does the streamer have its own The Last of Us? Or is The Eternaut another Netflix series destined to be forgotten within the merciless algorithm?

The series, which centers on a group of survivors after a deadly snowstorm kills millions, has now debuted with a seriously promising score of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. So, while The Eternaut doesn’t quite reach the critically acclaimed heights of The Last of Us’ 95% on the review aggregator site, it certainly promises to be a thrilling companion piece. Screen Rant’s Nick Bythrow awarded the series an impressive rating of 8/10, praising the Netflix adaptation’s modernization of Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López’s comic and creating a show that’s “perfect for sci-fi fans.

Almost every celebrated, pivotal piece of art and literature retains its uniqueness from its timeless quality and ability to use seemingly regular motifs, symbols, and references to discuss crucial themes and ideas that have universal appeal. Renowned Argentinian comic-book writer and journalist Hector German Oesterheld had set a great example of this through his pivotal work, the comic strip series El Eternauta, aka The Eternaut, beautifully illustrated by Francisco Solano Lopez, later collected as a graphic novel. On the surface, the graphic novel unfolds as an alien invasion story riding high in the 60s silver age sci-fi fandom and space race excitement, but in reality the narrative serves as a wake-up call against military dictatorship prevalent back then in Argentina, which robbed citizens of their autonomy, and also as a deeply personal account of the author’s connection with his family explored in troubling times. Netflix’s TV series adaptation...

Amid a flood of post-apocalyptic dramas on streaming platforms, The Eternaut carves out its own frozen niche. Originating from a 1957 Argentine graphic novel by Héctor G. Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López, this adaptation arrives in a cultural moment defined by collective anxieties over climate, isolation, and unseen threats.

The story unfolds on an ordinary summer night in Buenos Aires, where a sudden power outage is followed by flakes of toxic snow that kill on contact. In the midst of this surreal catastrophe, Juan Salvo (Ricardo Darín) improvises protective gear and ventures into the transformed city, determined to reach his ex-wife and daughter. Along the way, he gathers a disparate band of survivors whose conflicting instincts—compassion, fear, opportunism—mirror real-world debates about community and self-preservation.

Bruno Stagnaro’s direction updates the original’s 1950s setting to the present day, allowing resonances with recent blackouts and social unrest in Argentina to amplify the narrative’s urgency.

The residents of Buenos Aires experience a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon when the city, known for its temperate climate, observes the sudden onset of thick and fatal snow. The reason for such an odd and extraordinary event was explained later in The Eternaut when a character named Alfredo “Tano” Favalli deduced that the toxic snowflakes were radioactive particles falling from the sky. Ideally, a shield called the Van Allen belt, suspended by the magnetic forces of the poles, protects the Earth from solar winds (carrying charged particles from the sun). However, due to some strange phenomenon, the geomagnetic fields had either weakened or stopped working completely, because of which the charged particles emitted from the sun started bombarding the Earth’s surface and killing all the living beings as soon as they came in contact with their skin. The question here is, what or who could be powerful enough to disable Earth’s entire magnetic shield?...

When a rare snow begins falling in Buenos Aires, it kills everything it touches in an instant. Is it nuclear war or something even more sinister? Those that survive suit up in gas masks and layers to stave off death and fight an increasingly violent unseen force that’s trailing their every move. One of the survivors, a man named Juan Salvo, emerges as the leader of the resistance against an imperceptible threat.

Based on the eponymous graphic novel by Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López, the live-action adaptation The Eternautarrives on Netflix on April 30. The six-episode series was created and directed by Bruno Stagnaro (Okupas) and co-written by Stagnaro and writer-actor Ariel Staltari (Un Gallo para Esculapio).

Ricardo Darín, the actor in Netflix's new post-apocalypse series, The Eternaut, has jumped ahead and said that Season 2 of the series has to be produced in the near future. The dystopian series was released today, meaning it's still too early to speculate how it does in terms of critical reception and the appraisal of worldwide audiences.

However, when speaking to Vogue Spain, Darín makes it seem as if a second season is inevitable. "It's not that I look for challenges, but when the opportunity arises, I instantly feel it," says the actor about making the show, which spent decades in development hell. He has been attached to the project since 2018, when Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia expressed interest in bringing the comic book to the big screen. Darin is also involved as executive producer on the show, which perhaps has given him the ability to look into the...

Netflix’s The Eternaut centers around an alien invasion at the heart of Buenos Aires, where a toxic snowfall starts killing people as soon as the flakes come in contact with the skin. The anomalous and disturbing event had forced Juan Salvo and his group of friends to take shelter inside a house that belonged to their mate Alfredo “Tano” Favalli, an electrical engineer by profession. Juan, trapped inside the house, tried to make contact with his daughter, Clara, and his ex-wife, Elena, but to his dismay, none of the electronic devices were working, because of which Juan had no other option but to venture into the fatal snowfall in order to bring his family to safety. Now, the moment Juan stepped out of the house, he started having eerie visions, especially the sequence at the end of episode 2. These visions were nothing but snippets of the alien invasion that Juan had witnessed before.

The sci-fi genre is the go-to for scathing commentaries on politics, culture, and society. Hirak Rajar Deshe, a movie produced by the Government of West Bengal, is ironically about fascism, book-burning, and the brainwashing of the youth of the state as much as it is about two goofy guys using music to stun their opponents and high-fiving each other to teleport. Star Wars: A New Hope is an allegory for the United States of America’s involvement in the Vietnam War, and it is also about lightsabers, the Jedi, the Sith, and cool spaceships that travel through hyperspace. Invasion of the Body Snatchers is seen as a critique of McCarthyism as well as an endorsement of anti-communist sentiments, while its creators say it’s just an alien invasion movie. Starship Troopers, till this day, is sometimes celebrated for its parody of the United States military-industrial complex and lambasted for apparently promoting genocide as well,...

The Eternaut’s ending was all about Juan, Favalli, Omar, Franco, and Mosca trying to figure out how the beetles from outer space had gotten humans to betray each other and kill their own. During the penultimate episode, the snow that was killing people as soon as they came in contact with it had stopped. When Juan and all the other survivors had come out of the mall where they were taking shelter to bask in the sun after what seemed like ages, some random shooters appeared out of nowhere and began firing at them, leading to a lot of casualties. Juan, Favalli, Omar, and all those who had any kind of arms in their possession managed to kill the attackers, barring one who apparently went into whatever hole the alien beetles were living in and was accepted like he was a part of their group. Juan even recognized one...

Netflix teased one of its most anticipated Latin American releases to date, “The Eternaut” (“El Eternauta”), at a decked-out themed fête ahead of today’s streaming release to 200 countries, dubbed into more than 12 languages, with subtitles in more than 30.

Directed by Bruno Stagnaro, who co-directed the country’s cult classic “Pizza, Beer and Cigarettes” before going on to helm the lauded series “Okupas,” the six-episode series was written by Stagnaro and actor-scribe Ariel Staltari and produced by Hugo Sigman, Matías Mosteirin, Leticia Cristi and Diego Copello at Buenos Aires-based K&s Films (“Wild Tales”).

“This series is an expression of what an entire industry is capable of. We’ve gained a lot of knowledge in making it, and we believe that this project expands our country’s productive capacity to produce audiovisual content,” Mosteirin told a packed auditorium.

A modern sci-fi thriller based on the seminal Argentine graphic novel of the...

Esta producción nos sumerge en una Buenos Aires asolada por una misteriosa tormenta de nieve que extermina a casi toda su población y ¡no hay electricidad!

Just a few of the gems you'll find: the Julia Roberts romance Eat Pray Love, Keanu Reeves thriller Constantine, and Steven Soderbergh's classic caper series, Oceans 11 and its sequels. For those of you who subscribe to the sparkly vampire vibe, the...

‘The Eternaut’ (Spanish: El Eternauta) is an Argentine science fiction comic created by Héctor Germán Oesterheld, with illustrations by Francisco Solano López.

It was first published in a magazine called Hora Cero Semanal between 1957 and 1959 as a serialized comic. The story follows a small group of survivors after a deadly alien invasion in Buenos Aires.

‘The Eternaut’ was supposed to be adapted to live-action several times in the last couple of decades but every time the project would be abandoned either due to copyright issues of the sheer cost of the project. In February 2020, it was announced that the comic would be made into a TV series for Netflix.

The show will be directed by Bruno Stagnaro and set in the present day. Ricardo Darín will play the lead role, with Carla Peterson, Marcelo Subiotto, César Troncoso, Andrea Pietra, and Ariel Staltari also in the cast.
