Welcome To Eden got two seasons from Netflix by now, and you may wonder whether the series will continue. Here's what you need to know about Welcome To Eden Season 3.
If you like a mixture of mystery and coming of age, you will probably have had your fun with Welcome To Eden. The Spanish Netflix series premiered in mid-2022, and the streaming giant released a second season at the end of April 2023.
Welcome To Eden follows several teenagers that have been lured to a mysterious island named Eden, inhabited by a cult of other teenagers with their charismatic leader Astrid. What seemed to be an invitation to paradise at the beginning turns out to be a prison in the middle of nowhere, with the dark plans of the cult becoming more and more clear over time.

Welcome To Eden has seen two seasons with a total of 16 episodes so far, with the last one ("First Contact") airing in April 2023. If you've just finished it on Netflix and you liked it, you probably want to know whether there will be a third season and when it will release – especially since "First Contact" ends with some huge cliffhangers that result in more than just one untold story.
Welcome To Eden Season 3 Still Needs To Be Confirmed By Netflix
In general, Welcome To Eden got fairly positive feedback from the fan base as well as from critics, according to RottenTomatoes, which is already a good sign for a renewal. However, Netflix has neither confirmed nor denied a season 3 of Welcome To Eden yet, so it remains unclear whether we'll ever get the answers to the shows' unrevealed secrets.

In the end, the question of continuing a series usually depends on aspects like production costs and success. The release of season 2 pushed Welcome To Eden into the Top 10 of the most watched Netflix series for several weeks, being even on the top spot in some countries, which should have increased the chances for a third season.
Netflix will probably still wait a little bit until the initial hype of the new season release has ended before looking into the overall numbers and making a final decision. If Netflix will put another sequel in order, we expect Welcome To Eden season 3 to release in late 2024.
However, it remains unclear to which extent the Writers Guild Strike will impact things at Netflix. Stranger Things Season 5 is already confirmed to be delayed because of the strike, and also the production of a potential new Welcome To Eden season could very well be affected.

To be honest, Lost doesn't really have that much to do with coming of age stories. But it is definitely an exciting mystery series worth watching, and there are several parallels to Welcome To Eden.
Lost won a bunch of awards and we highly recommend watching the first three seasons – after that, the series definitely starts lacking its original quality, opening up more questions than it actually answers.
