Will there be an Amsterdam Empire Season 2? Possibilities explored

Netflix has not officially renewed Amsterdam Empire for a second season yet after its season 1 premiered on 30th October, 2025, with all seven episodes dropping together. The streaming services have not confirmed if the show will continue or end with its first season either. Therefore, any words on the show's fate aren't out and cannot be speculated.

As the title suggests, Amsterdam Empire showcases the city's underground cannabis industry and the owner of the empire, Jack, whose ex-wife takes revenge upon him, leading to the downfall of his empire. Betty was once a renowned pop star and left her career to get married to the wealthy and influential owner of the notorious coffeeshop empire, who grows cannabis under the guise. Later, Jack gets involved in an affair with a journalist. Betty then uses her knowledge of his secrets to bring him down once and for all by manoeuvring her way through Amsterdam's dangerous criminal underbelly.

Read on to know more about the Amsterdam Empire's renewal.

Will there be an Amsterdam Empire Season 2?

As mentioned, the streaming platform or the Amsterdam Empire makers haven't announced anything about the renewal of the show. Season 1 debuted on October 30th, 2025, and it's been 3 days since then. Usually, streaming platforms take a week or two weeks of time to gauge the viewership and popularity of the show, and on the basis of the same, take a call on whether to renew a show or not. The logline of the show on IMDb reads,

"When Jack's affair comes to light, his wife Betty hatches a bitter plan to strip him of the thing he loves most: The Jackal, his coffeeshop empire."

The show on the IMDb website is rated 6.4/10. On analyzing the online reviews available of the show, it seems that the show has been criticised for its inconsistent tone, as it keeps shifting between melodrama and a crime thriller. On the other hand, the show's cast is brilliant and the premise is interesting. Therefore, we can say that the reception until now has been mixed.

Netflix will be calculating cost vs overall viewership to decide whether to renew or not.

What would Season 2 of Amsterdam Empire be about?

If Amsterdam Empire gets a nod for renewal, season 2 will continue Betty's story as she has stepped into the cannabis trade business after seizing control of The Jackal in the season 1 finale. The season 1 ending left major threads open, given the complicated ties between Betty, Marjolein and Jack. This suggests that season 2 can be written, introducing some more unique conflicts with Betty's character transformation from a betrayed wife to a powerful entrepreneur.

Season 2 is also expected to follow the slow-burning atmospheric blending thriller and personal drama together. The new season might follow the same release schedule, with 7 episodes dropping together on the release date.
