Netflix has confirmed the second season of La Palma, titled Florida, during the Nordic Media Days in Bergen. Premiering in 2027, this independent sequel begins hours after the Canary Islands volcanic eruption. The plot follows a Norwegian community in Florida that is unaware a tsunami is approaching. With four episodes, it maintains the structure of its predecessor.
Calculated catastrophe: how a digital tsunami is built 🌊
The technical team repeats the formula with Lars Gudmestad as screenwriter and Cecilie Mosli as director, both experienced in disaster productions. The production will use ocean simulations and computer-generated visual effects to recreate the tsunami's advance. The four episodes will aim for a sustained pace, alternating digital destruction with real shots of Florida coastlines. The decision to maintain the number of chapters suggests firm budget control, without stretching the tension longer than necessary.
Norwegians in Florida: the tax haven that didn't see the wave coming 🏖️
The Norwegian community in Florida, famous for its retirees and low taxes, now faces a tsunami instead of a VAT increase. Good thing they have four episodes to decide whether to flee by car, by boat, or simply call their insurance agent. At least, if the wave sweeps away the houses, the drama will be entertaining and with a Scandinavian accent.
