Furia is changing the faces at the center of its anger. The Spanish HBO Original returns to HBO Max on October 9 as Furia Parte 2 — the series is also called Rage in English — with Maribel Verdú, Carmen Maura and Ana Mena among the new leads. The second season runs eight episodes of about 30 minutes each.
The first season followed five women whose lives collided through betrayal, pressure and public humiliation. This time, the story moves to a new ensemble. HBO describes women trapped in a world where practically anything can be turned into spectacle and profit. Their response, when the strain becomes too much, is the fury in the title.
Who joins the cast?
Alongside Verdú, Maura and Mena, the season features María León, Cecilia Suárez and Clara Sans. Claudia Salas and Ana Torrent also appear, connecting the new chapter with the first-season cast. The announcement names the performers but does not lay out every character’s story or how the women’s paths will cross. That uncertainty is part of what the new teaser leaves for the episodes.
The first run starred Carmen Machi, Candela Peña, Cecilia Roth, Nathalie Poza and Pilar Castro. It debuted in July 2025 and established the show’s mix of dark comedy and overlapping personal crises. Season 2 is a new group of stories, not a replay of the same five characters.
A festival stop before streaming
HBO Max says the new season will be presented at the San Sebastián Film Festival on September 21, with the leading actors and co-directors attending. That is a preview event, not the public streaming premiere. The latter is October 9 in the HBO Max territories covered by the Portugal and Spain announcements; no separate US rollout is confirmed by those releases.
Félix Sabroso created the series and directs again, sharing directing duties with Jau Fornés and screenplay work with Juan Flahn. Producciones Mandarina produces for HBO Max. The eight half-hour episodes make this a compact return rather than an extended season designed to keep the mystery going indefinitely.
The teaser offers bursts of confrontation, crowded spaces and women clearly tired of playing along. It does not reveal who comes out ahead. That is the useful promise of Furia: the moment a character refuses to swallow one more insult can be funny, painful or both, and the new cast has eight episodes to take it somewhere unexpected.
