Netflix’s unexpected hit superhero series, Supacell, rocketed to the top of the charts in its first season. But will the British action show come back for season 2? Created by musician and filmmaker Rapman, Supacell tells the story of Black South Londoners who all have sickle cell disease. When they start developing superpowers related to their illness, they must team up to avoid being captured by a government group that wants to control them. Combining social commentary with superhero action, Supacell stands out from the usual superhero fare.
The first season received rave reviews, even earning a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. What’s particularly interesting is that Supacell isn’t based on any existing comic or franchise, making its success even more impressive in a market full of remakes and adaptations. With high critical praise and soaring viewership on Netflix, it seems like a no-brainer for a second season. However, Netflix hasn’t officially renewed the show yet, though it feels like only a matter of time before they do.
Is Supacell Season 2 confirmed?
As with most streaming hits, fans are eager to know if a second season of Supacell is on the way. However, Netflix often takes its time before making such announcements. While Supacell season 2 hasn’t been confirmed yet, the signs are promising. Netflix tends to rely more on long-term viewership data rather than just critical acclaim. Luckily, Supacell has climbed to the top of Netflix’s charts, which bodes well for a second season.
Netflix has a unique chance with Supacell, especially as their flagship superhero series, The Umbrella Academy, is ending. With other big shows like The Boys and Invincible dominating the small screen superhero scene, Netflix can make its own mark without being tied to an existing comic book franchise like Marvel or DC. Although Netflix hasn’t made a decision yet, it likely won’t be too long before they announce their plans for Supacell.
