At the Joaquin Sorolla Public Hospital, nobody can keep their pulse steady, least of all the viewers! Breathless (or Respira, as it's known in Spain) has become Netflix's Spanish entry into medical melodrama.

So far, there have been two seasons of romances and betrayals, both on the personal and professional fronts. But after the wild events of Season 2, fans are wheezing with one question: Will there be a Season 3?

Let's take a deep inhale and exhale as we dissect the prognosis.


Some background info on Netflix's Breathless

Created by Elite mastermind Carlos Montero, Breathless is not an average hospital drama. It might be full of white coats and cardiac arrests, but the show's pulse lies mainly in its humanness. Doctors here are less "Do no harm" and more "Do what benefits me most."

Season 2 cranked up political conspiracies and enough love triangles to make Grey's Anatomy blush! The second season was centred on ethics and burnout while juggling drama, cancer, and emotion. Najwa Nimri and Borja Luna led a cast whose chemistry sizzled, even when the plot occasionally flatlined under its own acting.

And yet, it worked. The chaos was clearly addictive.


Has Netflix renewed Breathless for Season 3?

Here's the short answer: not yet. Breathless has not been renewed for a third season at the time of writing. Netflix is reportedly still gauging performance metrics like initial viewership and completion rates.

Which basically means they are weighing against costs, how many people actually watched all episodes without flatlining halfway through!

We also need to remember that the show has not been labelled as a "Limited Series," so that leaves the door wide open for more. The critical reception has been solid, and the show's soapy tone aligns with the kind of content Netflix loves to keep alive. It's a lot like the show we previously discussed, aka Elite, but this one obviously is a medical drama.

Industry watchers are cautious in their optimism. Given how season 2 ended, there's room for another run. If the numbers check out, Netflix could call for a season 3 with another eight episodes.


What could happen in Breathless Season 3?

Things will become even more bizarre if this Spanish-language show does in fact return! The ethically questioned doctors were still covered in secrets and conflicts at the end of Season 2. A third season could go deeper into the residents' moral compass, Nestor's ethics (if any at all), and the way Patricia struggles with illness and position of authority.

Given Montero's flair for human tragedy and political bite, Season 3 might also deepen the hospital's public vs. private healthcare commentary.

And after all that cliffhanging, fans deserve closure or at least another guilty-pleasure binge. Until Netflix makes the call, the fate of Joaquin Sorolla Hospital hangs in limbo, and viewers are left, well...breathless!
