Netflix's spy thriller Black Doves has been a major hit, and fans are already buzzing about a potential third season. The show, starring Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw, returned for its second season on November 5, and creator Joe Barton has confirmed that he's already started work on what could come next.
In a recent interview breaking down the Season 2 finale, Barton revealed that a writers room for Season 3 is already open. However, as with most Netflix originals, the final decision on renewal will come down to how many viewers tune in. The streaming giant has a history of greenlighting additional seasons based on performance, and Black Doves has been performing strongly.
The show first premiered in 2024 and quickly became one of Netflix's most-watched series. Its blend of espionage, drama, and star power—Knightley from Pirates of the Caribbean and Whishaw from the Paddington films—resonated with audiences. Season 2 was confirmed shortly after the first season's success, but production took time, and fans had to wait two years for the return.
Now that Season 2 is out, the binge-watching model means fans are already speculating about Season 3. Barton's confirmation that the writers room is active is a promising sign, but it's not an official renewal. Netflix typically waits to see how a season performs over its first few weeks before making a decision.
While we wait for official news, there's plenty more to watch on Netflix. The streamer has been riding high on several other hits, including the third season of Nobody Wants This, the romantic drama starring Adam Brody and Kristen Bell. Horror fans have also been diving into From, the MGM+ series that recently landed on Netflix and shot up the charts. And if you're in the mood for a classic disaster movie, The Day After Tomorrow is currently the most-watched film on the platform in the U.S.
For those who haven't caught up yet, both seasons of Black Doves are available to stream now. And if you're looking for more great content, check out our list of Netflix's most anticipated shows to see what else is on the horizon.
