Maestro In Blue, the Greek drama series created by and starring Christopher Papakaliatis, is returning for a second season.
Netflix and Greek broadcaster Mega TV will launch the second season of the show on May 16.
The renewal comes a year after the series debuted on the streaming service, marking Netflix’s first worldwide pick up of a Greek series. The show reached the global top 10 for non-English series in 18 countries after its March 2023 debut.
The series follows a musician named Orestis, played by Papakaliatis, who travels to the scenic Greek island of Paxos during the Covid-19 pandemic in order to set up a music festival from scratch. He also finds love and himself embroiled in other people’s problems.
The first season featured nine episodes and the second season will feature six episodes. This will then be followed by a third and final season, which will air on Netflix and Mega later in the fall.
