The Dutch comedy series Roosters is coming back for a second season on Netflix. The show became a big hit after its first season, especially in the Netherlands and Belgium where it stayed at the top of the charts for weeks. The streaming platform has now confirmed when fans can watch the new episodes.
The show follows four male friends who feel lost in today’s world. They try to figure out their relationships, careers, and what it means to be men in modern times.

What the Trailer Shows About Season 2
The official trailer for Roosters Season 2 came out on Netflix’s YouTube channel on April 14, 2026. The trailer gives a clear picture of what the new season will look like.
The four main friends—Mike, Danny, Ivo, and Greg—are back. They have finished their classes with course leader Bram and now approach life differently. They try to be more open, more vulnerable, and more aware of how men and women relate to each other.
But there is a problem. The people around them are not ready for this new kind of behavior. The trailer shows funny and uncomfortable situations where these men try to do the right thing but fail in awkward ways.
One scene in the trailer shows one actor pointing to Waldemar Torenstra‘s character Danny and saying, “This is Danny, my straight best friend”. This line shows the kind of humor the show uses.
The trailer also hints that Danny tries to be more honest and show his feelings. But the world is not ready to accept this change in him.

Story Details for the New Season
Roosters Season 2 continues the story of four friends who feel completely out of place. Each of them faces different struggles.
Mike is dealing with problems in his career. Ivo is trying to manage life as a single father. In season one, Danny planned a big romantic gesture. He hid a marriage proposal inside a chocolate dessert. But his partner surprised him by asking for an open relationship instead. Greg was stuck in a difficult marriage.
Now these four men have gone through a program that tried to change how they think and act. They are supposed to be better now. They want to show more feelings and be more honest. But the world around them keeps testing whether these changes are real.
The show uses comedy to look at serious topics. It asks questions about what society expects from men and whether trying to change is worth the trouble.
The new season also expands the cast. With more characters coming in, the story becomes bigger and less predictable.
Where to Watch Roosters Season 2
Roosters Season 2 streaming will be available only on Netflix. All 8 episodes will release on the same day—May 13, 2026.

What Made Season One a Hit
The first season of Roosters connected with audiences because it showed real problems in a funny way. The four main characters are not perfect. They make mistakes. They say the wrong things. They try hard but often fail.
Many viewers in the Netherlands and Belgium saw themselves in these characters. The show stayed in the Netflix Top 10 in both countries for weeks after its release.
The show also received attention because it deals with modern masculinity. The topic is relevant to many people today. Men are trying to figure out how to act in a world where old rules do not work anymore. Roosters looks at this problem through comedy rather than lectures.
The show was created by a Dutch production team. This local flavor made it stand out among international content on Netflix. The streaming platform has been investing in non-English shows, and Roosters is one of their success stories from the Netherlands.
The second season arrives on May 13, 2026, and the official trailer suggests the show will keep the same mix of awkward humor and real emotional moments that made season one work.
