Overview
Squirrel 2 (also styled Squirrel Dos or Squirreldos TV) is a Spanish private thematic television channel owned by Squirrel Media. It is a sister channel to Squirrel and is dedicated to series, launched on 1 January 2026. The channel replaced Paramount Network on Spain's digital terrestrial television (TDT) platform and on pay-TV operators, following Paramount Skydance Corporation's decision to cease Paramount Network's Spanish broadcast at the end of 2025. The channel's programming focuses on series, with a schedule that includes international crime and drama titles such as Unidad de investigación, Heldt, SOKO LEIPZIG, Los asesinatos de Midsomer, and the premiere of Atlantic Record. Its on-air identity and programming grid are presented on its official website, squirrel2.tv, which lists daily prime-time and late-night slots. Squirrel 2 is part of the Squirrel Media group, a Spanish media company that also operates the Squirrel channel. The launch of Squirrel 2 was announced in October 2025 as a response to Paramount Network's exit from the Spanish market. The channel is available on the TDT and through operators such as Movistar Plus+, where Squirrel and Squirrel 2 were added to the offer in September 2025. As a newly launched channel, Squirrel 2 is building its brand around series content, aiming to fill the gap left by Paramount Network's departure. Its programming strategy appears to target audiences interested in crime procedurals and European drama, with a mix of acquired international series and Spanish productions.
