The highly anticipated return of this German drama has been eagerly awaited by viewers. But the streamer is yet to reveal the release date for Kleo Season 2.

The show revolves around the compelling journey of Kleo Straub (portrayed by Jella Haase), a former Stasi assassin from East Germany who embarks on a quest for vengeance following her arrest and imprisonment before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Set in the early 1990s, the series offers a captivating portrayal of the political and social climate of that period.

While an official release date for Kleo Season 2 has not been confirmed, the renewal of the show is a testament to Netflix's commitment to multi-season series, as stated by Netflix VP German Original Series Katja Hofem in an interview with Deadline. Although details are still forthcoming, it is anticipated that the second season will premiere in 2024. Reports suggest that filming for Kleo Season 2 will commence in 2023, but Netflix has not yet provided official confirmation of the production. Assuming filming begins in the coming months, the process of shooting and editing could span approximately nine months. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that Kleo Season 2 will likely be released in 2024.

Kleo Season 2 plotline

In the first season of Kleo, we were introduced to Kleo Straub, a highly skilled assassin haunted by her tragic past. Throughout the series, we witnessed her transformation from a loyal Stasi agent to a determined rebel, driven by the desire to bring down those responsible for her suffering. The season concluded with a suspenseful cliffhanger, as Kleo escaped from prison and embarked on a journey to the West in pursuit of her targets.

Continuing from where the first season left off, Kleo Season 2 will delve deeper into Kleo Straub's quest for revenge. The upcoming season will explore her complex motivations and delve further into her past. Dimitrij Schaad will reprise his role as Sven Petzold, a West Berlin police officer tasked with capturing Kleo and bringing her to justice.

One of the intriguing aspects of Kleo Season 2 is the intricate dynamics between the characters. The relationships established in the first season, where Kleo's past intertwined with the lives of those around her, will be further explored. The second season will delve into the evolving nature of these relationships and their impact on the story.

Here’s the synopsis of Kleo Season 2

In 1987, Kleo Straub, a top performing East German Stasi assassin, is falsely imprisoned for leaking classified information to a West German informant after successfully assassinating a double agent in a West Berlin club, Big Eden. In 1990, after the demolition of the Berlin Wall, Straub is released due to a general amnesty for political prisoners. Losing her honor after being imprisoned for roughly 3 years, she plans to exact revenge on the conspirators who framed her whilst finding secrets behind her imprisonment. Meanwhile, Sven Petzold, an under-appreciated fraud policeman rediscovers a 1987 murder cold case enacted by Kleo, leading him to impede Kleo multiple times on her vengeance quest.
