Renew or cancel?
Kleo is a deliciously dark revenge thriller. Set in the heart of Germany in 1990, this aesthetically pleasing series is a bloody good time! Here’s what we know:
What is Cleo?
Set in Germany from 1989 to 1990 (while the Berlin Wall was falling), Cleo didn’t really start out as a full-blown revenge thriller. Instead, the show exudes an espionage vibe when it follows Stasi assassin Cleo Straub. Hired from the book, Cleo is a skilled agent who eliminates various targets on behalf of his grandfather.
After murdering a man in a nightclub in West Germany, the police, specifically a policeman called Sven, begin to find out who this woman is. She was then arrested while heavily pregnant and everyone who worked with her grandfather testified against her, causing Cleo to take the fall and end up in prison with a life sentence. That’s no good, and her heartbreaking betrayal continues when Cleo loses her baby too.
Overwhelmed with anger and revenge, Cleo waits. With the Berlin Wall falling and all political prisoners freed, Cleo embarks on a bloody revenge mission to get a sweet payoff from those responsible for putting her in her prison.

With Cleo Renewal for Season 2?
At the time of writing, Cleo not Renewed for a second season. Given the nature of the show’s format, a good number for Netflix could make a big difference.
Netflix typically measures a number of metrics before renewing a show, including how many people watched it the first time and how many people left it afterwards.
Cancellations or renewals occur quickly for some shows (ala. Squid Game, Bridgerton & Irregulars) while in other cases it can take months before Netflix makes a decision about the show’s future.
So far, Cleo has been pretty well received, with most critics giving the show decent reviews, and viewers (at the time of writing) are pretty positive about the show. And, given its cliffhanger ending, it’s one of those thrillers that could very easily run into another season.
All things considered, Kleo will be renewed into the second season. There’s definitely potential here, and with the mysterious red suitcase and the potential “alternate timeline” of the big war on the horizon, this could turn into a real dark horse.
This section will be updated with accurate information in the coming weeks and months.
What we know about Season 2 so far:
Little is known about season 2 at this point, given that Netflix hasn’t greenlit a sequel.
If this is updated, the contents of the US red suitcase may be revealed and predicted to be some kind of explosive. Relationships can also lead to showdowns between the two.
We will update this page as more information becomes available in the future.
