Pulse, Netflix’s new medical drama, had a successful first season whose plot captivated the entire audience. The truth is that fans of the story were left wanting more, and although the streaming platform has not yet confirmed its continuation, much has been discussed about what could be in Pulse Season 2.
If you’re one of them, here’s everything we know about a possible second season and what will follow in the story of Danielle and Xander and the dramas unfolding inside Maguire Hospital.
What will Pulse Season 2 be about?
(Warning: Spoilers!) In the first season of Pulse, Danny decided to withdraw the sexual harassment complaint she had filed against her ex-boyfriend. However, her situation at the hospital remained unstable due to the influence of Xander’s powerful parents, who were determined to separate her from their son.
Meanwhile, Natalie Cruz had to choose between firing Danny or resigning from her position in the emergency department and, after thinking it over, decided to prioritize Danny’s protection, recommending her for the position of head resident… but the new emergency director chose to appoint Sam Elijah instead. This decision did not affect Danny, who found peace after receiving Xander’s apology. The final scene depicts Danny symbolically relieving herself by swimming in the sea.

Although the conflict between Danny and Xander seems to be resolved, Xander will have to face the repercussions of his mistakes, especially after the loss of a patient. Additionally, other stories continue to unfold: Dr. Tom Cole could jeopardize his job due to his relationship with a patient, and Sophie Chan couldn’t reveal her feelings to Daniela Pérez.
On the other hand, Sam celebrated his promotion, although he couldn’t help but reflect on his own feelings toward Danny, suggesting the possibility of a love triangle in the future. The second season could explore all these elements and delve deeper into the relationship between Danny and Phillips.

If Pulse Season 2 is confirmed, it’s possible that the new batch of episodes will arrive on Netflix sometime in 2026 or 2027.
