Netflix has given the green light to the third season Old dog, new tricks (known locally as Animal), the hit Spanish comedy series starring Luis Zahera and Lucia Caraballo, as production begins on Season 2. Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming second season.
If you haven’t watched the first season yet, the series premiered globally on Netflix on October 3, 2025. Created by Víctor García León, the comedy centers on Antón, a cruel rural veterinarian from the fictional Galician village of Topomorto. After losing his traditional clients, he is reluctantly forced to join a modern animal boutique managed by his younger niece, Uxia.
Although we haven’t covered its Season 2 renewal yet, the show was an instant success for the streamer, earning Quick renewal only 18 days after its premiere. Netflix Spain officially announced the second season for October 21, 2025, but today the news of a third season is new.
The show remained in the global top 10 for three weeks and was watched 40.6 million hours, garnering 9.7 million views. It also entered the daily charts in 52 countries, impressive for a comedy series, with Spain naturally performing best, where it charted for 48 days. An easy decision to upgrade. Other territories where it performed best included Uruguay and Argentina where it remained in the daily top 10 for more than 30 days.
The series comes from Elia Media, the audiovisual powerhouse founded by Ettore Gabilondo. If you’re a fan of Spanish content on Netflix, Elia Media is no stranger to you. They’re the team behind some of Netflix’s biggest Spanish-language hits wrong side of the tracks (entrevias), unauthorized living (Vivir Sin Permiso), mute (El Silencio), and the recent global catastrophe that affected Salvador.
Aitor Gabilondo and Jota Acetuno will both return as executive producers for Season 2.
What to Expect from Season 2 of? Old dog, new tricks
With Anton and Uxia’s dynamic firmly established in the first season, the second season promises to move forward with new business ventures and a mystery brewing in Topomorto.
Here is the official synopsis for season 2 (translated into English):
“The new Kawanda urban pet shop in Santiago de Compostela brings happiness back to Anton. But their stability is threatened when his niece Uxia, a recent graduate in ethics, joins the business. Together, with the help of Kawanda’s new manager Mike, they start a popular pet burial service that brings prosperity to Topomorto. However, an unexpected economic boom soon uncovers a dark secret hidden beneath the surface. Does.”
Victor García León, Teresa Belon and César F. Calvillo returns to write the new season. Direction duties for the new batch of episodes will be handled by Laura M. Campos and Manu Gomez.
In terms of the cast, we can confirm that the following stars will appear in Season 2:

- lucia caraballo (no i don’t like it) as Uxia
- carmen ruiz (women on the brink) as Sabella
- Adrienne Viador

The big new thing, confirmed in a press release this morning alvaro mail (a perfect story).
Season 1 was particularly praised for its authentic Galician flavour. Caraballo, who is originally from Madrid, worked closely with actor Federico Pérez Rey to perfect her Galician-influenced accent in honor of the region. We hope production of season 2 will return to the beautiful region of Galicia, with season 1 having used the stunning locations such as Pontemsira, Teo, Vedra and Santiago de Compostela.
