High Tides is riding a swell of hype, but will it crest with a Season 4 renewal or wipe out in cancellation? The Belgian hit, also known as Knokke Off, has fans on edge as they await word on its future.

If you've been binging Netflix's Belgian teen drama High Tides (or Knokke Off if you're watching in Europe) and wondering whether you should brace for the heartbreak of a sudden cancellation — or gear up for yet another round of glamorous angst on the Belgian coast — here's the latest update.

No Season 4 – And That’s by Design

Let's not drag this out: Netflix has officially not renewed High Tides for a fourth season. But before you start penning angry tweets at the streamer, it's not really what you'd call a cancellation, either. The story always had a three-season plan, and that plan is getting followed to the letter.

The show's third season is on the books for April 3, 2026 (yes, it’s a bit of a wait), and Netflix has already dropped a trailer if you want a taste of what you’re in for. The important bit here: Season 3 is it. No secret extra episodes, no ‘split-in-two’ marketing shenanigans like some other high-profile Netflix series. This is your last round with the Knokke beach gang.

Why So Final?

Here's a phrase you almost never hear in the binge TV era: High Tides actually gets a real ending. Instead of just yanking the plug mid-plot (like what happened to way too many good shows recently), Netflix and the creative team let this cast and these characters play out their story in full. It’s rare, and honestly, it can make all the difference between a show you remember fondly and one that haunts your Netflix queue with unfinished business.

"Netflix's decision has allowed the showrunners to wrap everything up without stretching it out past its prime or cutting it off at the knees. The story is ending because that was always the point."

What's High Tides About (If You Aren't Already Hooked)?

If you’ve just landed on this page out of curiosity, here's the setup: High Tides follows a group of ridiculously privileged friends (think: summer houses, fast cars, people so well-groomed it's almost a plot point) trying to figure out love, adulthood, status, and family baggage during a summer that pulls all their secrets into the scorching Knokke sun.

Who's In It?

  • Pommelien Thijs
  • Eliyha Altena
  • Willem De Schryver
  • Anna Drijver
  • Manouk Pluis
  • Ayana Doucouré
  • Kes Bakker
  • Jef Hellemans
  • Ruth Becquart
  • ...and more faces you'll probably see in every Belgian drama for the foreseeable future

Where Can You Watch It?

All three seasons — including the grand finale when it drops in 2026 — are or will be on Netflix. If your feed's been missing that mix of high drama and coastal envy, you know where to go.

So if you're one of the many wondering what's next for High Tides, the answer's simple: one more season, the story wraps, everyone gets closure for once. Not a bad way to go out.
