A Netflix series that has captivated audiences is set to return for a second season.
Netflix is renowned for its original TV series hits, including Stranger Things, Mindhunter, You, and The Umbrella Academy. The streaming giant rarely misses the mark with its content.
One such success is Supacell, which premiered earlier this year and quickly became a fan favorite.
Supacell tells the story of a ‘group of normal people who suddenly develop superpowers,’ with ‘the only apparent connection between them being that they are all Black.’
As they grapple with their new abilities, they become targets of a secret organization.
The series has been so well-received that it holds a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer.
If you need more convincing to watch, many Netflix users binge-watched all six episodes in one sitting.
Additionally, some viewers threatened to cancel their Netflix subscriptions if Supacell wasn’t renewed for a second season. Their wishes have now been granted.
Netflix took to Twitter today (August 13) to announce: “SUPACELL SEASON 2 IS COMING.”
The tweet featured a promotional photo of the upcoming season, though it did not specify a release date.
Fans of Supacell have expressed their excitement about the announcement.
One person commented: “Love that! The #SickleCell community is ecstatic we are getting the awareness and attention we deserve. Such a marvelous show!”
Another enthused: “Supacell is an absolute gem on Netflix that redefines the superhero genre with its fresh, innovative storytelling and richly developed characters.
“From the very first episode, I was completely hooked by its unique premise and gripping plot twists. Good to see the S2.”
Another fan humorously noted that their monthly Netflix subscription would continue in light of the news.
Some viewers are calling for a larger budget for the second season, given the first season’s success.
One fan urged: “Please increase the budget to make the action even better. It deserves multiple seasons and a bigger budget.”
Another echoed: “Need bigger budget this time and hope better than season 1.”
Rapman, the show’s creator, previously discussed the possibility of another season with UNILAD.
He hinted: “I’ve told Netflix loads of times that I’ve got plans for multiple seasons. But you know how it goes, they’re gonna see how it does, and hopefully we get the next season.”
“But I told them, I’ve got a three-season idea story in my head. So, I got three, not saying it could never go over, but I’ve got three stories, these three seasons in my head, of where I know where the story goes.”
“So, I’m hoping that it comes out, performs really well, and we can go on a second part.”
