The first season of HBO’s Asian sci-fi series, Dream Raider, was released to American Audience in February 2022. The show following detective Li Xiao trying to solve puzzling crimes where victims’ brains are hacked has managed to intrigue the fans. As a result, fans are waiting for Dream Raider Season 2. But will it happen? Let us find that out below-
What To Expect From Dream Raider Season 2?
The first season of the series ended with a shock for fans as we saw Qi-Feng trying everything he could to open the entrance of the Abyss of Consciousness. So that his wife Li-An can return to the real world. Although the scientist gathered the nerve stimulants of thousands of people to conduct his research, his research failed badly. And he lost his life in the process. Meanwhile, after the death of Qi-Feng, Cheng harmonized with An-Ya, which unlocked the Abyss for the neural engineer to come back to the world.
On the other hand, Li-An took a decision to stay in the Abyss. When the father and daughter treasure their moments with one another. We saw Li Xiao saying goodbye to his daughter, who went to Singapore with Li’s ex-wife and her new companion. In the final moments of the season, viewers saw Li-An opening her eyes, which potentially implied her return to the real world.
If there will be a Dream Raider Season 2, it might explain whether Li-An really returned to the real world or not. If that is the case, we are likely to find out in Dream Raider Season 2 as what made her change her heart. Meanwhile, An-Ya and Li Xiao may get together in the second season, as Li Xiao was having a hard time letting his daughter go. Cheng may spend time with his daughter instead of returning to prison since the truth about Qi-false Feng’s death has been revealed. In Dream Raider Season 2, we can also expect Cheng, An-Ya, and Li Xiao to continue exploiting dream raiding technology to solve ambiguous cases.
When Will The Second Season Premiere?
The first season of the Dream Raider was released in the USA on HBO Max on February 17, 2022. However, in the Asian continent, the show had already premiered back in August 2020. Although, there has not been any official announcement from the HBO network about the renewal of the series for Dream Raider Season 2 yet.
Meanwhile, the ending of the first season left fans with a lot of unanswered questions. So, there is a high chance of the series getting renewed for a second installment. As stated, a release date hasn’t been out yet. But if HBO moves ahead in the direction of the second season, fans should not be expecting season 2 anytime before 2023.
Talking about the show and its future, actress Ellen Wu stated, “This is the first time I have participated in a role that requires so many special effects. I plan to continue to learn and train my imagination for roles like this, and I look forward to having more opportunities to work with special effects in the future.”
