The first 10 episodes of Alicia’s Law are already streaming on Netflix, and the final 10 arrive December 9, 2026. Netflix split its Mexican legal drama into two parts, which means the complete 20-episode run won’t be finished until that December release.
There are no weekly drops in between. If you tore through Part 1 after it premiered on November 11, the wait for the back half is a single four-week gap, and then the whole story lands at once.
Alicia’s Law full release schedule
Both halves of the season arrive as complete batches — all 10 episodes at a time — rather than one installment a week. Netflix posts its originals at the same global drop time, roughly 12:01 a.m. PT / 3:01 a.m. ET, so viewers in the U.S. can start watching in the small hours of each release date.
| Part | Episodes | U.S. release date | Drop time (ET / PT) | Where to watch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Part 1 | Episodes 1–10 | November 11, 2026 | 3:01 a.m. ET / 12:01 a.m. PT | Netflix |
| Part 2 | Episodes 11–20 | December 9, 2026 | 3:01 a.m. ET / 12:01 a.m. PT | Netflix |
That is the entire calendar. Netflix has not scheduled any midweek or weekly releases between the two parts, so once you finish Episode 10 there is nothing new to watch until December 9th.
What is Alicia’s Law about?
Alicia’s Law (La ley de Alicia) is Netflix’s Mexican remake of The Good Wife, the CBS courtroom series created by Robert and Michelle King that ran for seven seasons. The premise is familiar to anyone who watched the original: a woman is pulled back into the legal career she abandoned after her powerful husband is publicly disgraced.
Fernanda Castillo, known to international audiences from El Señor de los Cielos and her arc on Chicago Fire, plays Alicia. Her husband Aurelio, a Supreme Court justice played by Juan Manuel Bernal, is jailed on corruption charges and caught up in a sex scandal. With the family’s name in ruins and two teenagers to support, Alicia returns to the courtroom after roughly two decades away. Michel Brown plays David, a lawyer with a complicated personal history with her, while Karina Gidi and Yoshira Escárrega round out the firm.
The appeal, much like the show it is based on, is the slow rebuild: a protagonist reconstructing her identity one case at a time while the scandal keeps pulling at her. Netflix rates the series TV-MA, so expect adult themes and language.
The cast of Alicia’s Law
Castillo anchors the series as a woman re-entering a profession that has moved on without her. Around her:
- Juan Manuel Bernal as Aurelio, the disgraced husband who, after his release, sets about trying to win back his career, his standing, and Alicia herself.
- Michel Brown as David, a lawyer whose shared past with Alicia complicates her return to work.
- Karina Gidi as Diana and Yoshira Escárrega as Katya, colleagues who shape the firm Alicia walks back into.
For viewers who know the Kings’ original, the pleasure is in watching how a Mexican production reshapes those archetypes — the wronged spouse, the ambitious junior associate, the charismatic rival — for a different legal and political backdrop.
Why the two-part release?
Netflix has increasingly used the split-season model for its international dramas, holding back the second half to stretch the conversation across more than a month. For Alicia’s Law, that means the cliffhanger at the end of Part 1 has a built-in four-week runway before the resolution. It is the same strategy the platform has leaned on for several of its buzzier titles, and it is worth knowing going in so the Episode 10 stopping point does not come as a surprise.
Where to watch Alicia’s Law in the U.S.
The series streams exclusively on Netflix in the United States — there is no separate rental or purchase option, and it is not airing on linear television stateside. A standard Netflix subscription covers both parts. The Spanish-language original comes with English subtitles, and Netflix typically offers an English dub for its larger international titles as well.
