Netflix has confirmed a third season of the Spanish medical drama *Respira*, just four months after the second season premiered.
The streaming giant announced the renewal through a short video teaser shared on social media. The clip depicts the medical team at Hospital Joaquín Sorolla racing to save a patient in cardiac distress. "Quick, there's no time. We have to make a decision or we'll lose him. He's tachycarding and his blood pressure is plummeting. What can we do? He's not recovering," a doctor says urgently. Moments later, relief sets in as the team stabilizes the patient: "We've got him." The electrocardiogram waves then form the number three, signaling the new season.
The second season's eight episodes amassed over 8 million views in 2025, securing the series' future on the platform.
*Respira* stars Najwa Nimri, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Blanca Suárez, Manu Ríos, Borja Luna, and Alfonso Bassave. Last season introduced actors including Gustavo Salmerón, Rachel Lascar, and Pablo Alborán, who made his acting debut as surgeon Jon Balanzategui.
The renewal bucks a recent trend at Netflix, where several Spanish and international titles—like *Manual para señoritas*, *El refugio atómico*, and *Olympo*—were canceled. In contrast, *Clanes* and *Animal* performed strongly enough to earn second seasons.
