3% (Brazilian Portuguese: Três por cento, pronounced [ˈtɾe(j)s puʁ ˈsẽtu]) is a Brazilian dystopian thriller television series created by Pedro Aguilera, starring João Miguel and Bianca Comparato.[2] Developed from a 2009 independent pilot episode, it is the first Portuguese-language Netflix original series and the second non-English production, after the Spanish-language series Club de Cuervos.

The series is set in an unspecified future where 20-year-old individuals of the impoverished "Inland" have the single opportunity to complete "The Process" and advance to the affluence of the distant "Offshore" society. While most of the unsuccessful candidates are simply eliminated, some fail to survive, leading to only 3% of the candidates succeeding.[3]

The first season, consisting of eight episodes, became available on Netflix worldwide on 25 November 2016. In December 2016, Netflix renewed the series for a second season, which was released on 27 April 2018, consisting of 10 episodes.[4][5] In June 2018, the series was renewed for a third season, consisting of eight episodes, which was released on 7 June 2019.[6][7] In August 2019, it was announced that the series had been renewed for a fourth and final season,[8] which was released on 14 August 2020 and consists of seven episodes.[9]
