NETFLIX viewers are urging others to watch a French thriller that went unnoticed in the charts and have demanded that the streamer commissions a third series.
The suspenseful international series starring Carl Malapa, Némo Schiffman and Manon Bresch first launched on the streaming platform in 2019.
The Netflix original Mortel has caught the attention of many subscribers who have raved about it on social media.
The show follows two high schoolers, Sofiane and Victor, who end up developing special powers, which they use to team up and try to solve a murder after making a pact with a supernatural being.
In 2021, a second season of the French series landed on the streaming platform with six new episodes.
Eager fans are now hopeful for a third series to continue the tense tale, even though it remains unconfirmed.
Regardless, viewers have taken to social media and complimented the first two seasons while asking for a new series to be made.
Taking to Reddit, one user wrote: “Mortel is soooo underrated. I’ve periodically been scouring the web for info on a potential s3 (including searching in French), but not much comes up.
“The characters work so well together, and I’d hate it if we didn’t get a least one more season to wrap it up.”
Another viewer penned: “Late to this party, but this show was the best I’ve seen in a while. Adding to the prayers, it will be resurrected”.
A third typed: “Can’t be a good sign if we’re all here after searching for a possible S3. I was hoping things were just delayed.

“This is such an underrated show. I didn’t know what to expect going in, and it totally blew me away.’
Over on X(Twitter), Netflix fans branded the show a ‘must watch’ as one fan expressed: “Mortel on Netflix is so good, pls watch it before they take it away.”
Another followed it with: “No, but Netflix needs to give Mortel the same promotion they give to Elite.
“Everything about season two was so amazing, the plot, the characters arc (individually & together) was perfect, soundtrack was fire, and the visuals was pleasing… y’all slacking.”
While a third chimed: “If you’re looking for a supernatural voodoo murder mystery esc teen show, watch Mortel on Netflix! it’s a French show, s2 just dropped, and it’s pretty good also, the cast is beautiful #mortelnetflix.”
Most recently, Netflix released the list of all the shows leaving its platform in February.
Some of the shows being removed from the streamer’s platform in a few days are Black Christmas, Black Swan, DC League of Super-Pets, Downsizing, Eagle Eyen, and dozens more.
Mortel is available to watch on Netflix.
