Netflix has confirmed that Criminal Code will return for a third season, much to the delight of fans both in Brazil and internationally. The police drama, which follows the gripping lives of Suellen (Maeve Jinkings), Benício (Rômulo Braga), and Isaac (Alex Nader), has built a strong following thanks to its intense storytelling and complex characters. The announcement came on Tuesday, June 3, promising more action, conflicts, and the kind of revenge-fuelled showdowns that ended the second season with a bang.
Since the release of its second season on June 4, Criminal Code has cemented itself as a major hit on Netflix. The show has consistently featured in the Top 10 lists not only in Brazil, where it has stayed for nearly a month, but also in several other countries including Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Portugal, and Nigeria. Its international appeal highlights the growing global interest in Brazilian productions and crime dramas.
Haná Vaisman, Director of Scripted Series at Netflix Brazil, expressed pride in the series' success. She attributed it to the hard work of the talented teams involved in writing, directing, producing, and acting. Vaisman also emphasised Netflix's ongoing commitment to supporting Brazilian audiovisual projects with rich narratives that deeply affect their characters and engage their audiences over time.
Heitor Dhalia, the director and showrunner of Criminal Code, described returning to the show's universe as an emotional experience. He highlighted the importance of the tri-border region setting and the chance to reconnect with the characters and stories that have captivated viewers. Dhalia assured fans that the series will continue to offer surprises in its new season.
Produced by Paranoïd, the series features a strong creative team. The second season was created by Heitor Dhalia, Bernardo Barcellos, and Leonardo Levis, with direction shared by Heitor Dhalia, Pedro Morelli, and Vellas. Executive producers include Manoel Rangel and Egisto Betti. Alongside Jinkings, Braga, and Nader, the cast also features Thomás Aquino and other talented actors.
Criminal Code is available to stream on Netflix, and with the third season on the horizon, viewers can look forward to more thrilling and intense storytelling from this acclaimed Brazilian crime series.
