It’s only been a week since Nemesis entered our lives and, already, it’s taken over the world. Everyone’s watching it – or, at least the 7.1 million people who have made it the third most-watched show on Netflix are. And everyone’s talking about it. The main thing you’re probably wondering if you’ve already devoured all eight episodes: when will Nemesis season 2 be released?
A high-octane, high-drama take on the classic cop thriller format, the show’s popularity is understandable. Although it follows familiar tropes – you know, troubled police officer tormented by a mastermind criminal he’s spent years trying to take down – Nemesis makes the format feel fun again.
Part of that is thanks to its creator, Courtney A Kemp, the mind behind the addictive crime thriller Power. But it’s also down to its killer cast, which includes faces you might recognise from Abbott Elementary (Matthew Law), Insecure (Y’lan Noel) and another legendary cop drama The Wire (Michael Potts, Domenick Lombardozzi and Chris Bauer). Translation: it’s TV gold, packaging up the very best elements of crime dramas into one slick package.
But back to the question you really want an answer to. When will a new series of Nemesis grace our screens again? Don’t hold your breath too long. There might be a bit of a wait…

Is there going to be a season 2 of Nemesis?
Bad news, folks. At the time of writing, there’s been no confirmation that the series will be renewed. But keep in mind, Nemesis has only been out for just over a week, which means all hope is not lost. Studios often take a little longer to recommission news seasons of our favourite shows, so there’s still a pretty solid chance that we’ll get to see the story continue.
Besides, Netflix isn’t one to throwaway hot property like this. Currently the number one show in eleven countries, Nemesis is undoubtedly one of the streaming platform’s most popular shows of 2026 – and you can be fairly certain that they won’t want to cut that success short. The show’s co-creator, Tani Marole, has already confirmed that they “have an arc in mind” for season two. The balls in the studio execs’ court as to whether they’ll be able to bring it to life on screen.
