Fresh off a breakout debut, Spanish comedy Old Dog, New Tricks has scored a rare two-season pickup at Netflix, with season 2 already in production from creator Víctor García León.

If you thought Netflix was going to drag its feet on its breakout Spanish comedy, think again. Old Dog, New Tricks (yeah, that title tells you exactly what you’re in for) is not just getting a Season 2—it’s actually locked in for a third, too. That’s a pretty rare show of confidence, especially considering how quick Netflix can be with the cancellation axe.

Instant Hit Status (and a Super-Fast Renewal)

Let’s break this down. The first season of Old Dog, New Tricks dropped globally on October 3, 2025. Not even three weeks later—October 21, if you want to be exact—Netflix Spain went ahead and said 'Yeah, we're doing Season 2.' Fast-forward to now, they’ve pretty much doubled down and ordered a third season while the second is still shooting.

There aren't many shows these days that get a multi-season order all at once, especially after just three weeks on air. Clearly, it’s struck a nerve.

So What's This Show Actually About?

The main guy is Antón, played by Luis Zahera. He’s your classic small-town vet who’s about to get left in the dust by the modern pet industry. His practice is fading fast, so he gets thrown into working for his more with-it niece, Uxía (Lucía Caraballo), who runs a slick new pet business.

The first season sees Antón trying to adapt—or, honestly, just survive—in this brave new world of pampered pets. The show’s charm is basically in the fish-out-of-water stuff, mixed with some sharp, specific Spanish humor.

Numbers Don't Lie (Unless They Do, But Not Here)

  • Global Netflix Top 10? Three weeks straight.
  • Appeared in Top 10 daily charts in 52 countries. That’s a lot of markets for a local-language show.
  • Biggest Fanbase: No surprise, Spain. There, it stayed in the charts for 48 days.

What’s Coming in Season 2?

Here's where things get a shake-up: Antón and Uxía are moving operations to Santiago de Compostela (yes, that historic city with all the pilgrims). They open an urban pet shop, and naturally, things don’t get any simpler.

Uxía steps up in the business, and they team up with a new manager to launch a pet burial service. Cue immediate success—plus some new problems. Because as it turns out, even burying pets can get complicated. Who knew?

Behind the Scenes

Creator Víctor García León is back writing, this time joined by Teresa Bellón and César F. Calvillo. Season 2 gets a new directing duo: Laura M. Campos and Manu Gómez. Zahera and Caraballo aren’t going anywhere, and there’s a new addition to the cast, Álvaro Mel.

'It’s not every day you see Netflix willing to bet big on a Spanish comedy, so this double renewal is kind of a big deal—especially if you like your shows with a dose of small-town chaos and clueless adults.'

So, if you’re into awkward family dynamics, pet business drama, or just want a taste of Spain that isn’t Money Heist, you could do a lot worse than Old Dog, New Tricks. Two more seasons are on the way—maybe it’s time to catch up.
