A trailer has been released for season two of the acclaimed Greek television series Maestro in Blue, which is returning to Netflix on May 16th.
A 30-second, suspenseful trailer has been released for the popular Greek series, which, when first picked up by Netflix in March 2023, became the first ever exclusive worldwide distribution deal for a Greek scripted television series on the streaming platform.
Maestro in Blue was created for Mega TV by Christoforos Papakaliatis, who also stars in the series.
The series was in the Top 10 in 31 countries after being picked up. With beautiful scenery shot on the picture-perfect Paxos island, the strong storyline and performances in the series have enchanted millions of viewers globally.
“In May 2024 we will have the opportunity to travel once again to the deep blue waters of Paxos, which, however, hide many guilty secrets,” Mega TV announced in April.
The second season consists of six episodes, while the series will conclude with a four-episode third season, expected to air in the fall of 2024 on Mega TV and Netflix.
Season two of Maestro in Blue
Papakaliatis has previously hinted at season two’s release. In a recent interview with Alpha TV, he stated that the filming of the second series of Maestro in Blue started in April 2023 and took place in Athens and Paxos. He also revealed there will be some new faces in the cast.
The first season debuted on Netflix on Friday, March 17, 2023. The television series has had a very strong reception with audiences and holds a 97 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.4 rating on IMDB.
Following the release of the first season on Netflix, it featured in the global top 10s for two weeks, picking up 20.56 million viewing hours. The show featured in the TV top 10s in 53 countries according to FlixPatrol, with the show doing best in countries like Greece (featured in the top 10s for 97 days), Cyprus (42 days), Malta (15 days), Israel (14 days), Serbia (13 days), Romania (12 days), and Turkey (12 days).
Further data from the Netflix Engagement Report covering January through June suggests the show was watched globally for 41.10 million viewing hours. Naturally, as the only show from Greece currently on Netflix, it remains the country’s most-watched Original title to date.
At the time of season one’s release, Papakaliatis said: ”I hold Maestro very close to my heart and I feel deeply honored and happy that this story will travel around the world through Netflix. I’m looking forward to this journey.”
Maestro in Blue is set in Greece on the island of Paxos. The island has an interesting history, which includes naval battles, pirates, and a succession of foreign rulers. Even though it is smaller than and not as well-known as Corfu and Lefkada, which are also in the Ionian Sea, Paxos is very beautiful.
