The Galician coast still looks calm from a distance. But beneath that quiet surface, drug routes, family loyalties, and unfinished revenge continue to shape one of Netflix’s most tense European crime dramas.
Now Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for the second season of Gangs of Galicia, confirming that Ana and Daniel will be pulled back into a world they tried to leave behind. This time, they are no longer moving in the same direction — and the emotional cost of that split may be as dangerous as the criminal war surrounding them. Here’s everything you need to know about Gangs of Galicia: from the story and cast to early reactions and release details. The trailer is at the end of the article.

What is Gangs of Galicia about?
Three years have passed, but distance has not erased the damage. In Season 2, Ana and Daniel once again find themselves pulled into Galicia’s criminal underworld, despite their attempts to move on from the violence and betrayals that once tied them together.
The new chapter shifts the balance between them in a crucial way. Daniel returns to the sea to help his father one last time, while Ana heads back to Cambados and begins working with the clan that rivals the Padín family. The series continues to explore power, loyalty, and emotional fracture inside a landscape where every personal decision has criminal consequences.

How the previous season performed
The first season of Gangs of Galicia made an immediate impact when it premiered on Netflix in 2024. During its debut week, the Spanish crime drama became the platform’s most-watched non-English language series worldwide, reaching No. 1 in 28 countries and entering the Top 10 in 82 countries. That strong global performance quickly positioned the series as one of Netflix’s most successful European crime dramas of the year, helping build momentum for the darker and more expansive story now continuing in Season 2.
Who created Gangs of Galicia?
Jorge Guerricaechevarría created and wrote the series, building the story around the intersections of family, crime, and buried identity. For the second season, directing duties are handled by Marc Vigil and Javier Rodríguez, who guide a new chapter shaped by divided loyalties and escalating pressure between rival clans.
Main cast and characters
Clara Lago (Spanish Affair, The Neighbor) returns as Ana, whose personal search for truth has evolved into a much more dangerous confrontation with the criminal structures surrounding her.
Tamar Novas (Rondallas, Band Together) is back as Daniel, still caught between family duty and the emotional bond that complicates every decision he makes.
Season 2 also adds Luis Zahera (Old Dog, New Tricks, The Beasts) to the expanding cast. Returning cast members also include Xosé Antonio Touriñán, Melania Cruz, Miguel de Lira, María Pujalte, Chechu Salgado, and Diego Anido.
Is it based on a true story?
Gangs of Galicia is a fictional series. However, its setting draws on the long-screened criminal mythology of Galicia’s coastal drug routes, using that atmosphere as the backdrop for a story about revenge, intimacy, and inherited power.
What to expect from season 2
The second season appears ready to widen the conflict without losing the intimate tension that defined the first. Netflix’s official synopsis makes clear that Ana and Daniel will now find themselves on opposite sides, which gives the new episodes a more openly confrontational shape. That change suggests a season driven not only by criminal escalation, but by the collapse of the fragile emotional connection at the center of the story.
Why it’s worth watching
If you enjoyed Narcos or Sky High: The Series, this series explores similar territory, combining crime-thriller tension with a more intimate emotional conflict rooted in family allegiance, betrayal, and the pull of a dangerous past.
