Olympo ending explained and Season 2 theories explored: What's next for the Netflix's Spanish sports drama?
Netflix's Spanish sports thriller Olympo ends its first season with a chilling and unforgettable finale, leaving fans stunned and full of questions. Set in an elite Olympic training facility, the series exposes the dark truths behind ambition, performance enhancement, and personal sacrifice. As the last episode fades out with Amaia collapsing in the pool and Zoe walking away with damning evidence, it's clear the story is just beginning.
Here's a breakdown of the ending, what it really means, and what fans might expect in Olympo Season 2.
What is Olympo about?
Olympo is a sharp critique of power, exploitation, and the pressure to succeed at any cost. Set in a fictional high-performance centre for Olympic hopefuls, the series follows athletes who are unknowingly used as test subjects for a powerful doping program masked as elite training.
Blending sports drama with psychological tension, Olympo dives into personal trauma, institutional abuse, and moral ambiguity — all wrapped in the shiny packaging of Olympic dreams. With its stylish visuals and unflinching storytelling, the show has positioned itself as one of Netflix's most gripping sports thrillers.
Olympo ending explained: Amaia's collapse and Zoe's escape
The final episode of Season 1 centres around Amaia (Clara Galle), the artistic swimmer who's been under constant pressure from her mother, the institution, and her own desire to succeed. After uncovering the doping conspiracy within the Olympo training program, she initially resists. But when her efforts to alert the anti-doping agency fail and tests come back clean, Amaia gives in and takes the drug herself.
Her flawless performance at the Olympic trials is a victory tainted by moral compromise. Moments later, she collapses in the pool, symbolising everything she's sacrificed.
In contrast, Zoe (Nira Osahia) makes a different choice. After escaping the facility, she steals a vial of the experimental drug and hands it to the authorities. Her quiet defiance positions her as a major threat to Olympo's future and the face of resistance going into Season 2.
Will there be a season 2 of Olympo?
While fans are already forming theories, it's important to remember that Netflix hasn't greenlit a second season yet. However, the many twists and turns in Season 1 — including Amaia's collapse, Zoe's bold move, and the unresolved fate of Olympo's secrets — strongly hint that the story was designed with a continuation in mind. The series's strong reception and growing online buzz could influence Netflix's renewal decision in the coming months.
Olympo Season 2 theories: Who exposes Olympo? Will Amaia return?
With the finale raising more questions than it answers, fans are already speculating about what could happen next:
Olympo faces exposure: With Zoe's drug sample in the hands of the anti-doping agency, the investigation may finally begin. But will it be enough to take down a brand as powerful as Olympo?
Amaia's fate: Amaia's collapse could lead to serious health complications or a deeper spiral into the world she once tried to escape. Some fans think she may turn against Olympo after realising the cost.
Athlete rebellion: With Cristian, Roque, and possibly others growing more aware of the system's corruption, a collective pushback could be coming.
More secrets: If the drugs were only the surface-level scandal, Season 2 might dig into how far the control and cover-ups really go — including media manipulation, threats, or even political ties.
Will Fatima and Charly end up together?
One of the fan-favourite dynamics is between Fatima and Charly, who shared a subtle but emotionally grounded connection. Fatima's calm, introspective nature balances Charly's impulsive intensity. As both characters are caught in their own battles within the system, their bond might deepen in Season 2, especially if they stand on the same side of the coming conflict.
However, some fans believe the chaos ahead could pull them apart. Will they support each other through the fallout, or will their personal goals and loyalties get in the way? Either way, their relationship is likely to become more central next season.

Hockey: Two-time Olympic medallist Lalit Kumar Upadhyay announces retirement from international hockey
Indian forward Lalit Kumar Upadhyay announced his retirement from international hockey on Sunday, bringing down the curtains on a career that lasted more than a decade and saw him be a part of two Olympic Games bronze medal-winning teams. 'This journey began in a small village, with limited resources but limitless dreams. From facing a sting operation to standing on the Olympic podium — not once, but twice — it's been a path full of challenges, growth, and unforgettable pride. Becoming an Olympian from my city after 26 years is something I'll always carry with honor and gratitude,' Lalit posted on his social media accounts. Lalith played in four matches of the eight that India played in Europe to close out their 2024-'25 Pro League season. The last match he played was against Australia in on 15 June. He has played 183 matches for India in senior international hockey, scoring 67 goals. The 31-year-old from Uttar Pradesh thanked various people who have played a part in his career. 'To my first coach Shri Parmanand Mishra, who introduced me to hockey and built my foundation. To Harender Sir, who gave me my first break by picking me in Air India. To Sameer Bhai and Dhanraj Sir, who mentored me with care and belief during that time. To BPCL, for offering me a job and giving me 8 meaningful years of work and growth. To my friends and teammates, who made the journey unforgettable. To Hockey India for giving me the opportunity to wear the national jersey. And to the state government, for honoring my journey by appointing me as a DSP — a responsibility I hold with pride.' But he reserved one final note of thanks to current India captain Harmanpreet Singh, saying, 'Hockey has given me everything, and you're one of its greatest gifts, brother.' For the talented boy from Varanasi, known for his dodging skills and creative stick-work on the field, the career almost ended before it even began. In 2008, he was used as a bait in a TV sting operation that led to erstwhile IHF being disbanded, and it also ruined Upadhyay's reputation as he was sidelined from the national programme. Lalit considered quitting hockey just at the age of 17 but kept at it and found his breakthroughs eventually. Dhanraj Pillay got him a contract with Air India in 2010, where he began picking up the pieces. Four years later, former India captain Tushar Khandker helped him get a job at BPCL and around the same time Lalit was picked for Kalinga Lancers in the Hockey India League as well. More recently, the forward who has scored some memorable goals through his career, has struggled for consistency and with younger forwards coming through the ranks, has decided to call time. One of those younger forwards, Abhishek, posted on Instagram: 'Your journey has been nothing short of inspiring, the dedication, passion, and humility you brought to the game will always be remembered. You've left behind a legacy that will continue to guide and motivate the next generation.'
