Brazilian crime drama Brotherhood is set to return to Netflix for its second season. The show, set in Sao Paulo in the mid-1990s, earned critical acclaim and a cult following when its first series debuted back in October 2019.
Viewers who enjoyed the first season have been eagerly awaiting the second ever since Netflix confirmed last year that it had commissioned another series. Now the show is set to return, and anticipation among fans is reaching fever pitch.
A lot of Brotherhood fans have been wondering just when they can expect the new series to drop on Netflix. But when will Brotherhood season 2 be available to watch - and who’s in the cast for the new season?

The second season of Brotherhood is set to debut this week on Netflix, with the latest series of the gritty Brazilian drama expected to drop on Wednesday May 11. The new season will pick up where the first series left off, amid the underworld of Sao Paulo in the mid-90s.
In the first series, lawyer Cristina - played by Naruna Costa - found herself in a dilemma after learning that her brother Edson (Seu Jorge) was leading a rising criminal gang, known as Irmandade or ‘Brotherhood’, in prison.
She is subsequently pressured by the police to become an informant and infiltrate the Brotherhood herself, and in doing so is forced to question her own ethics and her understanding of justice itself.
Naruna Costa will reprise her role as lead character Cristina for the second season of Brotherhood, with Seu Jorge - perhaps best known to international audiences for his role in the critically-acclaimed 2002 movie City of God - also returning as Edson.
