Here’s everything you need to know about Jupiter’s Legacy season 2 on Netflix, including its potential launch date, plot, cast and more.
Spoilers follow for Jupiter’s Legacy season 1. Jupiter’s Legacy season 2 will hopefully be a case of ‘when’, not ‘if’, on Netflix. The TV adaptation of Mark Millar and Frank Quitley’s superhero comics is currently sitting at the number one spot in Netflix’s top 10 list in the US and UK. That’s despite its mixed critical reception and, given there’s plenty of story left for its live-action TV show to tell, it should get another outing. Of course, Netflix has canceled other popular properties recently, such as The Irregulars, so Jupiter’s Legacy season 2 isn’t a dead cert. However, Netflix owns Millarworld, the company behind Jupiter’s Legacy, so it would make sense for them to renew it on that level. With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about Jupiter’s Legacy season 2. We’ll dive into its potential release date, casting possibilities based on season 1’s events, story threads it’ll need to cover and more. A word of warning before we begin: we’re heading into major spoiler territory for Jupiter’s Legacy season 1 and the comic books that inspired the series. If you don’t want to know about what’s likely to happen in Jupiter’s Legacy season 2, turn back now. There’s no launch date for Jupiter’s Legacy season 2, which isn’t surprising as it hasn’t officially been renewed yet. There may also not be a release date for some time, if more episodes go ahead, based on other Netflix Millarworld productions taking precedence over it. Ahead of season 1’s release on May 7, Millarworld president Mark Millar wrote a Netflix blog post that explained which of his company’s properties were getting developed next. Currently, there are live-action adaptations of The Magic Order, American Jesus and a new, untitled spy property in the works. Throw in an anime series based on Millarworld’s Super Crooks, and film adaptations of other comics including Empress, Huck and Prodigy, and it’s a busy time for Millar and Netflix. Jupiter’s Legacy season 2, then, might not go into active development for a while. Assuming it gets renewed,2022 feels like the earliest we’ll likely see the show return. While Jupiter’s Legacy season 2 hasn’t even been greenlit, Millar has been asked about a follow-up. In an interview with the Scotland Herald, Millar suggested that a second season had been given the go ahead by Netflix and would arrive next year. Additionally, in another chat with ComicBook.com, Millar admitted that he knew what the plan for season 2’s plot was. “We know where we’re going [with season 2], Millar said. “I mean the books are a good template. You know, the books are all sitting there for us, so we have a very rough plan. But we know it all depends on hopefully, not to get too cocky, that the audience responds the way we think they will, but we feel good about it.” However, talking to TechRadar in the wake of season 1’s release, Millar was less bullish about a second season. We’ll have to wait and see what the plan is for that, but no doubt we’ll find out in the next couple of months if it’s coming back.
