Will Mrs Playmen Season 2 happen? Possibilities explored

Mrs Playmen hit Netflix as a seven-episode limited series on November 12, 2025.

It’s an Italian period drama based on the real life of Adelina Tattilo, the trailblazing publisher who took over the erotic magazine Playmen in 1970s Italy after her husband walked out.

The show dives into scandal, survival, cultural rebellion, and female empowerment, all seen through the ups and downs of publishing a provocative magazine in a country torn between strict Catholic tradition and a rush of modern ideas.

You get both Adelina’s personal fight and the bigger cultural shake-up, all set in Rome, with its wild nightlife and that unmistakable ‘70s energy.

Will Mrs Playmen Season 2 happen? Renewal status and official updates

Right now, Netflix hasn’t announced a Season 2. The series was marketed as a limited drama, which means it was designed to narrate a complete story from beginning to end.

Generally, these types of shows are not picked up for another season as they are structured to end in one shot. That is basically what Mrs Playmen does; by the end, the main story arcs are closed, yet a couple of loose ends remain, which, to be fair, just feels real.

A new season has not been officially announced yet, and the likelihood is quite low at this point. However, Netflix has previously re-released limited series, mainly when the audience has been huge and the figures have been really high, making it hard to ignore. It is rare, but not impossible.

If Mrs. Playmen unexpectedly attracts a lot of viewers or there is a sudden increase in engagement, Netflix might think that there is more to the story, and perhaps even a spin-off, especially if there is more content to work with. Nevertheless, by late 2025, there has been no word from Netflix or anyone involved with a Season 2.

What does Mrs Playmen need to get Season 2?

A renewal mostly comes down to a few big things.

First, the series has to pull in solid viewership on Netflix. That means people actually finish the episodes, not just start them, and maybe even come back for another watch. When Mrs Playmen first dropped, it landed in Netflix’s top 10 in places like Italy, India, and some countries in South America. That is a good start, but it hasn’t taken over the world, at least, not yet.

Reviews matter too. So far, critics seem to like the show, especially its take on history and drama. Ratings are decent to strong, and when fans talk it up online, that always helps bring in new viewers.

There is also the question of story. Since Mrs Playmen is based on real events, any new season needs strong, fresh material. They can’t just drag things out for the sake of it; otherwise, it will lose what made it special in the first place.

Finally, Netflix has to decide if Mrs Playmen fits with its bigger plans. As a period drama, it appeals to a specific crowd, and Netflix will compare its numbers and buzz to other expensive shows before making a call.

How is Mrs Playmen doing so far?

Mrs Playmen does show up on FlixPatrol, with a Netflix score of 204 points. That is just FlixPatrol’s own metric, not actual viewership numbers, but it gives some idea of its presence. The show made it into Netflix’s Top 10 once, just for a day, according to their latest update. There is no public info about total hours watched or anything more detailed.

Over on IMDb, the series has a weighted rating of 6.4 out of 10. As for Rotten Tomatoes, there aren’t any critic or audience reviews yet for Season 1, so you won’t find a Tomatometer score or average rating there right now.

Cineuropa calls the show a “glossy dive into 1970s Rome and its moral codes.” The reviewer points out that the series blends fact and fiction, as it is inspired by real events like Adelina Tattilo and Playmen, but plenty of storylines are exaggerated to keep things dramatic. They point out the way the show brings 1970s Italy to life: everything feels sparkling, colorful, and full of energy. Still, all those overlapping storylines can get overwhelming.

Decider’s take is simple: “STREAM IT.” They are into how the show digs into the 1970s adult-magazine world in Italy. It’s not just about s*x; the story takes on censorship, society’s shifts, and Adelina Tattilo’s fight to make her mark.

DMTalkies says the show is way tamer than you would expect from something called Mrs Playmen on Netflix. But that’s not a bad thing. The reviewer calls it “politically and culturally rich”, as there’s more going on than just scandal. Carolina Crescentini gets a shoutout for her performance, and Adelina’s journey stands out as a story about resistance, self-worth, and freedom. The reviewer gives it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

The Review Geek recaps Episode 1, focusing on big moments: Adelina’s husband leaves, she takes charge of Playmen, and a scandal breaks out over some photos. They like that the show doesn’t just throw in nudity for shock value. When something tough happens, like the implied assault in the first episode, the real focus is on what happens after, not on graphic scenes. Their rating for the first episode is another 3.5 out of 5.
