US EditionIn Netflix’s ‘The Eternaut,’ an Argentine comic goes global as dystopia hits home
- Netflix premiered the first season of 'The Eternaut,' an Argentine dystopian drama, on April 30, 2025, set in Buenos Aires with an Argentine cast led by Ricardo Darín.
- The series adapts Héctor Germán Oesterheld's 1957 graphic novel and updates it to present-day Argentina, incorporating the 1982 Falklands War and reflecting societal anxieties under far-right President Javier Milei.
- The production of the series spanned four years, covering both pre-production and post-production phases, involved a workforce of 2,900 people, contributed $34 million to Argentina’s economy, and rapidly became one of Netflix’s most popular non-English-language shows.
- The series' motto, "No one gets through it alone," resonates deeply due to Oesterheld's family's disappearance under Argentina's 1976 dictatorship, sparking missing-persons appeals displayed on billboards throughout Buenos Aires.
- Netflix has committed to a follow-up season of 'The Eternaut,' planning production to commence in 2026, highlighting the show's ongoing cultural significance connected to Argentina’s historical and contemporary social challenges.
