Kleo Season 2 picks up right from where that slick, adrenaline-infused plot of espionage left off in the first season. The new season opens when Kleo learns deeper conspiratorial layers associated with her troubled past and follows with new threats shadowing her at each step.

It marries some great historical authenticity with loads of action, opening against the backdrops of Germany and Serbia. After all, much more was expected by the audience — twists happening one after another and an elusive chase to bring justice to light through definite characters.

Despite having to grapple with her own past in this high stake pursuit, Kleo remains resourceful and determined as she outsmarts her enemies.


What happened in Kleo Season 2?

In Season 2, Kleo is hungrier for vengeance than ever as she steers her way through the murky waters of espionage in the post-Cold War era.

It's a plot tightly interwoven between personal vendettas and larger geopolitical conspiracies. With fresh characters and other agendas, secrets avalanche upon each other in the storyline.

A mysterious package containing a faded photograph arrives for Kleo. The image takes her to the secluded village in the Swiss Alps, where she uncovers a hidden spy network, with secrets unfolding themselves.

The past catches up with Kleo when an old acquaintance makes an appearance. At a posh, high-stakes gala, she will be forced to confront her history while being pushed to make decisions that could change everything.
