What are the chances of Land of Sin Season 2 happening? Chances explored

The latest Swedish Nordic crime drama, Land of Sin, was among the first releases of 2026 from Netflix, and though the drama premiered rather suddenly without much marketing, it has managed to find its viewing niche. In just 5 episodes spanning three hours, the show takes you through a grim, bleak countryside where a teenager named Silas is found dead at a farmhouse.

Detectives Dani and Malik investigate the case but find themselves completely entangled in family politics and secrets that take down generations. For the audience looking to binge on a perfect bite-sized mystery, Land of Sin was a delectable treat, and now they're left wanting more, even a Season 2.

Let's take a look at what we know about Season 2 and the chances that it's a real possibility.

Land of Sin Season 2: Can Netflix's Nordic noir return for a second season?

Netflix's latest original Nordic crime thriller, a 5-episode mini-series directed by Peter Gronlund, premiered on January 2, 2026, with each episode spanning around 40 minutes. The show quickly turned into a hot topic among viewers looking for a small yet enthralling mystery. And by the end of the season, even though the mystery is solved for all to see, it leaves behind an emotional ambiguity that has viewers wondering if it's returning for another season.

Did Land of Sin end on a concrete note?

The Netflix crime thriller found a teenager who died, and investigators Dani and Malik took over the investigation. By the end of the five-episode miniseries, the case has been solved, at least from the perspective of the law. On the other side, a much deeper ending is teased out as all the moral and emotional conflicts are analyzed. Straightforward solutions to the mystery are avoided at the end of the series.

However, the ambiguous ending does not, in fact, set the show up for another season because this case has been solved. The ambiguity at the end is a representation of all the thematic conflicts in the story, from drug trafficking to generational trauma and crushing poverty.

Has Netflix renewed the series for another season?

At the time of writing, the global streamer has yet to renew the Nordic drama for another season, but Netflix generally takes some time considering the viewership and the drop-off rates before making such a decision.

However, one thing to note is that most Swedish crime thrillers like Land of Sin are limited series that are wrapped up in their short duration. Additionally, the story and its format would suggest it is a limited series that won't return for another season. The show is also classified as a limited series on the streamer's website, so the actual chances of a renewal are low.

Nevertheless, no confirmation regarding a renewal or not has been given by Netflix, so we'll have to hold on for official updates. For now, however:

Land of Sin is available to stream on Netflix.
