Netflix’s The Eternaut earns 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and is renewed for Season 2

Movieweb reports that Netflix's post-apocalyptic sci-fi series The Eternaut, which debuted April 30, 2025, holds a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score and has already been renewed for a second season.

Based on the Argentine comic by Héctor Germán Oesterheld, the six-episode show is set on an alternate Earth where a mysterious, deadly snowfall wipes out much of the population and survivors confront a harsh landscape and an invisible alien force. The adaptation, which blends elements of Alien and The Invisible Man, stars Richard Darin as Juan Salvo alongside Carla Peterson, Cesar Troncoso and Andrea Pietra; the comic El Eternauta was nominated for an Eisner Award in 2016. The series also carries an RT audience score of 88% — "Really excellent show — great premise, and it delivers the goods. It also nicely introduces new elements as it progresses, to keep you hooked," wrote one RT user.

The Eternaut was renewed in May 2025 soon after the first season's release, but no official Season 2 date has been announced and fans are expecting to wait at least two years. Netflix's Latin American programming boss Francisco 'Paco' Ramos told Deadline, "We believe that we will manage to close the whole story in a beautiful way, with probably eight more episodes," and Season 2 will likely be the show's last.
