Netflix’s ‘Breathless‘ concludes its season 2 with an explosive ending. The season introduces the character of Sophie Lafont, a doctor from France, who becomes Patricia’s primary oncologist. However, as Nestor, Beil, and Pilar discover, the woman’s promising experimental treatment harbors more than its fair share of secrets. Still, their attempts to unveil the truth about her ultimately fail when Sophie manages to flee from Sorolla, along with all her research, leaving no trace for the authorities to follow. However, a bigger complication looms on the horizon for Beil, who may or may not have lost someone who could’ve been an important part of his life.
Simultaneously, while Patricia’s professional life thrives, her health faces an unexpected and possibly ruinous roadblock. Thus, even though the finale rounds out the entire high-pressure season, multiple threads are left unresolved. Unfortunately, since the Spanish series hasn’t received an official renewal yet, the possibility of the narrative’s definitive conclusion remains uncertain. Even so, if the show receives a greenlight soon enough, there’s a possibility fans might be able to enjoy a potential season 3 by 2027.
Breathless Season 3 Will Deal With the Aftermath of Nicolas’ Car Crash
Much like season 1, ‘Breathless’ season 2 also ends on a cliffhanger, leaving the fate of a crucial character up in the air. In the finale, Nicolas, Beil’s father, who had overtaken management of Sorolla after its privatization, gets sideswiped by a truck. As his own vehicle flips over, leaving him in critical condition, his chances of survival become thin. This instance offers a notable parallel to the ending of season 1, in which Jesica, Beil’s lover, gets stabbed by a patient, nearing a brutal death. Since season 2 picks right in the aftermath of this attack, it’s fair to assume season 3 might follow in the same footsteps. Nicolas’ potential death would have an impact on the overarching narrative even beyond Beil and his emotional arc.
Nicolas is the prime suspect who could have warned Sophie about her looming arrest, allowing the woman to run away and take all her research with her. Since the crash happens before he can prove his alleged innocence in the matter to his son, his fate would influence Nestor’s continued pursuit of the French oncologist. Likewise, the nature of his employment relationship with Sorolla would also spell out the establishment’s future. For one, Lluis’ career and the investigation into his medical license will be affected by Nicolas’ state. On the other hand, there are also plenty of emotional storylines that would be impacted by Nicolas’ survival or death. While his relationship with Biel had found some friction in this season, there’s plenty more ground to cover, especially in light of the birth of his newborn baby.
Breathless Season 3 Might Bring On Some New Characters
One of the more exciting aspects of ‘Breathless’ season 2 stems from all the new faces that are introduced into the show’s dynamic with this installment. While the narrative still remains focused on the core ensemble group of healthcare workers at Sorolla, a few new additions open up space for fresh dynamics and relationships. Therefore, it’s highly possible that season 3 will follow this pattern and bring a few new characters on board. Still, fans can rely on familiar faces to outweigh the impact of these potential new introductions. Characters like Biel (Manu Ríos), Jesica (Blanca Suárez), Nestor (Borja Luna), Pilar (Aitana Sánchez-Gijón), Quique (Xoán Fórneas), and May (Marwa Bakhat) are the heart and soul of the series.
As such, the actors behind these characters are bound to reprise their roles in the event of a possible season 3. Likewise, some of the other essential characters around the hospital will likely also make a comeback. These include Leo (Ana Rayo), Rocio (Macarena de Rueda),
Neus (Abril Zamora) and Blanca (Blanca Martínez). Additionally, Najwa Nimri, who plays President Patricia Segurra, and Javier Ballesteros (Emillio) will also return to the series to helm the more political aspect of the narrative. However, things are more uncertain for characters like Jon (Pablo Alborán) and Lucia (Claudia Traisac), who only joined the show in season 2. While the narratives of characters like Quique, Beil, and Jesica would only benefit from the return of these characters, it’s possible they might end up getting overshadowed by new potential love interests.
Patricia’s Fate Might Become Clearer in Breathless Season 3
Even though Joaquin Sorolla Hospital is at the center of the medical drama’s storyline, Patricia Segurra remains an integral part of the narrative. She’s the President, who constantly juggles her complex political career with her near-terminal condition as a cancer patient. Since many of her policies revolve around the public healthcare sector, her fate inevitably remains closely tied to the hospital’s. Across the first two seasons, Patricia’s cancer has remained at the center of her story. Even though things had seemed bleak for the politician, Sophie’s experimental treatment brings new hope into the woman’s life. Therefore, it’s all the more tragic when that is torn away from her at the end of season 2.
Sophie’s treatment almost cures Patricia of her cancer, ridding her body of most of its cancerous cells. Nonetheless, Pilar’s unfortunate timing robs the woman of her final session, which threatens to undo the progress made over the last few months. To make matters worse, Patricia receives news of her certain medical doom on the same night that she wins the re-election, cementing her political career as the President. However, the public, the media, and even members of her own party are under the impression that she’s currently cancer-free. Therefore, a potential season 3 would delve into the aftermath of all these events, charting a riveting, if tense, narrative for the politician.
