Release date and what to expect for Season 2

Netflix has not officially announced the Season 2 release date. However, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos named the show as part of returning shows for 2026. This was stated during an earnings interview.

Judging by the present production calendar, a release sometime in late 2026 could be achievable. Production has just commenced or is commencing. As production is also scheduled to run well into 2027, Season 3 could be later.
