HBO Max release of ‘Estado de Fúria’ season two

Overview

The Spanish original series ‘Estado de Fúria’ (also referred to as ‘RAGE (FURIA)’) premiered its second season on HBO Max on October 9, 2026. Following the success of the first season in July 2025, the new installment consists of eight 30-minute episodes.

Created and directed by Félix Sabroso and Jau Fornés, the season adopts an anthology-style format. While maintaining the central theme of female rage, the series features a significant cast change. Returning characters include Tina, Rosa, and Roberto, alongside Claudia Salas and Ana Torrent. The new ensemble includes Maribel Verdú, Carmen Maura, María León, Cecilia Suárez, Ana Mena, Clara Sans, and Asier Etxeandia.

Prior to its streaming debut, the season was presented at the San Sebastián Film Festival on September 21. The first season had previously earned critical acclaim, including a special jury prize at the Rose d’Or and recognition from the Ondas, Feroz, Forqué, and Iris Awards.

New storylines explore diverse social conflicts. Maribel Verdú plays Raquel, an executive navigating corporate pressure; Carmen Maura portrays Patricia, who turns to pseudoscientific beliefs; and Ana Mena plays Carla, an aspiring artist in Madrid fleeing a traumatic childhood marked by paternal abuse.

Actress María León, playing the character Charo, noted that her character is “driven by guilt and must destroy her current reality to take responsibility for her life.” The cast has indicated that this season addresses social issues more intensely, specifically exploring the “double standards regarding how men and women are judged when expressing intense emotions.”

The production continues to use the fictional streaming platform ‘Núcleo’ to satirize modern workplace dynamics, targeting ‘happycratie’ and the use of superficial wellness culture to foster distrust among colleagues.
