Smiley season status
Netflix currently presents Smiley as one 2022 season with eight episodes. The official Netflix title and media pages reviewed on August 2, 2026 did not contain a Season 2 announcement. That is a dated source boundary, not a claim that the series was formally cancelled or that future plans cannot change.
The original Netflix announcement described a worldwide December 7, 2022 launch and identified the series as an adaptation of Guillem Clua's play. The current English title page lists English subtitles and audio alongside the original Spanish-language presentation, but catalog access and language options can vary by country and account.
