Netflix’s Bandidos has carved out a niche with its thrilling mix of heists, humor, and Mayan mysteries. Since its debut in 2024, this Mexican action-adventure series has hooked viewers with its quirky crew and treasure-hunting escapades. Season 2, released on January 3, 2025, left us on a cliffhanger with Lili’s discovery in her father’s brooch, sparking speculation about what’s next. As of March 27, 2025, season 3 hasn’t been confirmed, but the show’s growing fanbase and rich potential make it a hot topic. Here’s everything we know—or dare to dream—about Bandidos season 3.
Release Date
No official release date exists yet for Bandidos season 3, as Netflix hasn’t greenlit it as of now. Season 1 dropped on March 13, 2024, and season 2 followed on January 3, 2025, after a quiet renewal. If season 3 follows a similar production timeline—filming typically takes about six months, plus post-production—we might see it in early 2026, perhaps January or February, assuming renewal happens soon. Keep an eye on Netflix announcements for updates.
Cast
The core crew is expected to return if season 3 happens, bringing their unique skills back to the table:
- Alfonso Dosal as Miguel Morales, the charming hustler leading the charge.
- Ester Expósito as Lili, the cunning scammer with a mysterious past.
- Juan Pablo Medina as Wilson Morales, the forgery expert (assuming he survived season 2’s chaos).
- Mabel Cadena as Ines, the tough-as-nails member fighting for her son.
- Andrea Chaparro as Citlali, the tech-savvy teen.
- Juan Pablo Fuentes as Lucas, Citlali’s partner-in-crime.
- Nicolás Furtado as Octavio, the wildcard with a knack for trouble.
New faces could join too, especially if the story expands globally—think rival treasure hunters or archaeologists tied to Lili’s brooch.
Season 2 Recap
Season 2 kicked off with the crew—fresh off their Serpent King heist—targeting the Tear of Fire, a gem tied to a Spanish galleon. The stakes soared as they infiltrated a casino, dodged cops, and faced betrayal from within. Regina, a new player, nearly derailed the plan, but the group pulled off the heist, splitting the loot. Lucas and Citlali planned a trip to China, Miguel eyed Turkey with his dad, and Ines fought for her son’s custody. The real kicker? Lili, examining her father’s brooch, found an engraving that left her stunned—setting up a mystery that’s got us all hooked. It was a wild ride of trust issues, close calls, and that signature Bandidos chaos.

Plot
Season 2 ended with Lili spotting something intriguing engraved on her father’s brooch, hinting at a new adventure. Season 3 could kick off with the crew reuniting to decode this clue, possibly leading to a treasure linked to the Valdes inheritance or a lost Mayan relic. Picture them diving into Yucatán’s Cenotes—sacred sinkholes tied to Mayan lore—facing traps, rivals, and personal demons. Miguel might chase a lead in Turkey with his father, while Lucas and Citlali stumble into a Chinese legend. Betrayal and trust, staples of the series, could test the group as Lili’s past unravels further.
What Fans Want
Fans are vocal about their hopes, especially on Reddit. In a thread on r/ReadySteadyCut, users buzzed about the season 2 cliffhanger. Some crave a bigger, international heist—think Turkey or China—while others want deeper character dives, like Lili’s history or Ines’s custody battle resolution. A poll idea floated there suggests fans might split between a global adventure and a tighter, personal story. Either way, the community wants more of that Bandidos adrenaline rush.
Season 3 Storyline
Here’s a speculative take: Lili’s brooch reveals a map to a Cenote hiding a Mayan artifact—the “Heart of Kukulkan.” The crew reassembles, but a rival gang, tipped off by season 2’s loose ends, races them to it. Miguel’s Turkish detour uncovers a historical link, tying Spanish conquistadors to the Maya. Expect underwater action, double-crosses, and a finale where Lili’s past—maybe her faked death—collides with the present. It’s a blend of history, heist, and heart, staying true to the show’s roots.
IMDb Rating
As of March 27, 2025, Bandidos holds a solid 6.9/10 rating on IMDb, based on over 3,200 user votes across both seasons. This reflects its appeal as a fun, action-packed series, though some fans note room for deeper storytelling. Curious about how it stacks up? Check out the full breakdown on its IMDb page.
