Filming on the second series was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [10] [11] Only six of the planned ten episodes were produced.

Their investigation zooms in on the Caligaris’ chef, Richard Webb, who is revealed to have secretly been in love with Valentina, but he denies having caused her any harm. After an attempted escape from the Caligari estate, Webb is arrested, and admits that he'd followed Valentina on the day of her disappearance. Although he has the necklace Valentina was wearing when she'd boarded the train, he claims he found it the morning she disappeared. Continuing evidence eventually leads Max and Miranda to a less obvious explanation: Valentina was never on the train. When they can't find Valentina's brother, Otto, at the estate, they head to the marina, where they discover Otto with Valentina's girlfriend, Azra Bolat. They reveal to the detectives that an argument had broken out at the estate, during which Valentina had slipped and hit her head on the tiles. Otto had then disguised himself as Valentina on the train, and jumped off it when Webb had entered the carriage. Otto and Azra then dumped Valentina's body in the sea, and had planned to go away together with Azra's baby. Max also helps Miranda overcome her claustrophobia, and the force celebrates Inés' 45th birthday.

In addition to Sommer's death, Max and Miranda apprehend María, a girl who works as a drug dealer for Luis Gardera, a notorious drug lord. They ask her to work for them as an informant so they can apprehend Gardera, which she accepts on the condition that she works with them and them alone, as Gardera has informants throughout the police. After a detour from her original pick-up, María seems to be in danger when Heinrich, one of Gardera's enforcers, confronts María about her talking to the police. She manages to persuade him that working as an informant could sway in Gardera's favour and asks to speak to Gardera about it. The day after, she is brought to Gardera's mansion in the countryside, with Max, Miranda, and police units on their tail. At the mansion, María fails to persuade Gardera that she could help him by becoming a police informant, and she's brought to a room to be executed, before Heinrich turns on Gardera just as the police burst in and arrest him. It's revealed that María was best friends with Alba, Heinrich's sister and a victim of Gardera, and that the entire operation, including her becoming an informant, was planned beforehand, so they could bring the police straight to Gardera.
88"Death in the Morning"Bryn HigginsRachael New25 November 2019 (2019-11-25)4 December 2019
British author Nicholas Mountford is murdered like a bull in a bullfight, by an unknown matador in a bullring in Cazador. Max and Miranda face a town that hardly speaks, but later suspect the bullring security guard's father, Manu Alzamora. Though he admits he was in debt to Mountford, he did not kill him. Max and Miranda are asked by Inés to stay in Cazador until the case is solved, something Miranda is against, and which leads the two detectives to a near-kiss during a Paso Doble. Max and Miranda's suspicion later falls on Alzamora's son, Victor, after a prior record with Mountford is discovered by the police in Palma. They discover that Victor was having an affair with Mountford's wife, Leanne, but that he really expressed love for her. Despite this, neither one of them was responsible for the murder of Mountford, given their alibi in the timeline of his murder. At the bullring, Max and Miranda examine the matador suit and sword, where they discover blood on the suit cuff, and a chipped part of the sword that perfectly matches a fragment of metal found in Mountford's stab wound. They ask bullring manager Cati Herrero to close the ongoing festival while also sharing their discovery. Herrero tries to escape after accidentally revealing that she already knew the sword was chipped, but she's stopped by Max and Miranda. It's revealed that Herrero murdered Mountford because he had discovered the truth about her father, and had been planning to publish this in his new book, which would have stripped Herrero's father of his status as a legendary bullfighter.
99"Mallorca's Most Wanted"Rob EvansSarah-Louise Hawkins25 November 2019 (2019-11-25)5 December 2019
A drug bust at a club owned by Rob King leads Max and Miranda onto the case of catching Mallorca's Most Wanted — the owner's brother, Charlie King, who allegedly killed his girlfriend Gabriela, and has now returned to Mallorca to see his dying father. The manhunt leads to Mike Fowler, a close friend of Charlie, who is the only person who he trusted outside the family. Fowler admits his friendship with Charlie, but claims he never would have provided a hiding place for him on his return to the island. Max and Miranda don't find anything in Fowler's apartment, but do find evidence in his boat that someone had been staying there. Miranda spots Charlie on the way to the boat, but he escapes after locking her and Max in the port. It's later discovered that Max's girlfriend, Carmen, was a friend of Gabriela, and she reveals vital information about Gabriela's life and relationship with Charlie King. Miranda eventually comes up with a theory that the lead investigator of Gabriela's murder, Ramón Hernández, might be corrupt, given evidence from a hotel and the fact that he was the policemen who Gabriela formerly had a relationship with. She does not get support from Max or Inés, but decides to investigate on her own nonetheless. After looking for clues in the warehouse of the suppliers for Rob King's club, Miranda is knocked unconscious in her car and then tied up in the warehouse by Rob. It's revealed that Miranda was correct about Hernández being corrupt, and that Gabriela was killed because she learned about it. Worried that Miranda may be in trouble, Max goes to the warehouse to investigate, and is also captured. After the two of them have a near-death experience, it's revealed that Max had called for backup before going to find Miranda. Hernández and Rob King are arrested, and Miranda gives Charlie a chance to see his dying father in hospital.

He demands that the situation be broadcast live and that he can sing a song, written by himself, to his ex-girlfriend Lena. Outside, Inés insists on waiting for mainland negotiators, but Max disagrees, expressing that they should move in given that Schmitt seems unstable. Before his performance, Schmitt ties Kuhl with tape to a chair with Miranda's help. After the keyboardist, Carlos, has an apparent panic attack, Miranda takes over. In the meantime, Max breaks with Inés' plan and sneaks onto the premises in a surprise attack. When Inés spots Max on the live feed, she orders other officers to move in. Max surprises Schmitt from behind as the remaining officers storm the house and surround him. Having performed his song, Schmitt is arrested, but is cheered by the crowd that gathered outside the premises.
