Nearly two years since its debut and its successful climb to Netflix’s top 10 most-watched shows, Maestro in Blue needs little introduction. However, what fans have been waiting to learn is the release date of its third season, now confirmed in the latest trailer.

On Netflix, Greek and Cypriot audiences can stream the show starting December 3, while viewers worldwide can access it from December 28.
When asked about a potential fourth season during a press screening of the third season’s premiere episode, creator, writer, and star Christophoros Papakaliatis shared his desire to rest but left the door open for more.

The Plot
Set on the idyllic Ionian island of Paxos, Maestro in Blue follows Orestis, a musician who organizes a local festival amidst the pandemic. Once there, Orestis falls in love with a young local woman and becomes deeply involved in the island’s close-knit community, uncovering personal dramas and tackling societal issues such as homophobia, domestic abuse, and corruption. A murder complicates his journey, adding mystery to the emotional narrative.
Filmed against the stunning backdrop of Paxos’ turquoise waters, the series has been celebrated for its stellar ensemble cast. Alongside Papakaliatis, the series features acclaimed Greek actors such as Haris Alexiou and Maria Kavoyianni, as well as Fanis Mouratidis, Marisa Triantafyllidou, Klelia Andriolatou, Stefania Goulioti, Giannis Tsortekis, Antinoos Albanis, Orestis Halkias, and Giorgos Benos.
With 15 episodes aired so far, Maestro in Blue has captured international audiences, earning an 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes and an 8.1/10 on IMDb. Its critical and popular success cements it as a landmark for Greek storytelling on the global stage.
