Poacher Season 2 Release Date Update [CHECK]

Prime Video’s Poacher has been ruling the charts with its bang-on debut. While the show has remained the most talked-about subject on the internet, many are concerned about whether there will be another season of Poacher. Will we get Poacher Season 2? The first season has neatly wrapped up the ivory poaching issue. Is it worth it to extend the series?

We know several questions are running in the back of your mind, but don’t worry! That’s because the series creator has recently shared what we can expect from Season 2. So, keep reading to find out.

Created by Richie Mehta, Poacher is set in 2015 and explores the issue of ivory poaching in India. The series is based on court documents and testimonials that tell the events of ivory poaching that took place in the urban forests of Delhi and the dense forests of Kerala. Throughout the first season, the series has shared some darker events that shocked mankind and how things have turned so dramatic. It has also shed light on the subsequent government action that took place to stop this menace.

Is Poacher Season 2 Renewed?

Unfortunately, not! The first season of Poacher debuted with a bang on February 23, 2024. It became the first Indian series on Amazon Prime Video that received tremendous praise worldwide. The series has not only been the most-watched show on the streaming platform but also had positive reviews from critics. Season 1 earned 7.7 stars out of 10 on IMDb and 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.

This led many to believe that Poacher would have another season. However, Prime Video hasn’t yet renewed the series for the next season, Poacher Season 2. Typically, the streaming platform takes a couple of months to announce its decision. But seven months have passed, and the streaming platform has remained mum regarding the renewal announcement.

This made people concerned for the show’s fate. You don’t have to worry! That’s because the series partners Sean McKittrick and Raymond Mansfield recently shared their plans for Season 2. In an interview with Variety, McKittrick and Mansfield shared their plans for Season 2. McKittrick said, “Our intention is to have a [Poacher] Season 2.” McKittrick added that Poacher isn’t just a show for Asia and India.

They made the series for the whole world, so they intend to develop as many interesting original stories as possible by incorporating more real-life events. In addition, the series partners shared that they want to protect the story.

When Will Poacher Season 2 Filming Begin?

While McKittrick and Mansfield confirmed they hope to return with season 2, nothing is known about the second season. Poacher has yet to be renewed. However, the series partners shared that the show is being developed actively, which is a good sign that it will soon hit our screens. But there’s a catch! The duo hasn’t yet shared the production details.

So, Poacher Season 2’s production details remain unclear. It’s hard to guess which phase the series is currently in. The production takes six to seven months, as the show is based on true events. Thus, finding the right documents and testimonials will not be easy. Besides this, the creators have yet to share the other Poacher Season 2 production details.

The second season’s filming will take six to seven months to wrap up, which means the show won’t take much time to return. However, QC, the production company behind the show, is working on another documentary. It is currently working on the rise and fall of Vice Media, which is currently in production.

In addition, they are currently on the hunt for a filmmaker for J.D. Barker’s upcoming erotic thriller novel, “Behind a Closed Door.” QC is also working on a TV adaptation of Chuck Wending’s novel “Wanderers,” and is actively seeking a director for the show. Thus, it might push the filming of Poacher Season 2. But don’t worry! We will update you.

Poacher Season 2 Cast: Who Will Return?

If the show returns with another season and delves into the dense woods of Kerala and Delhi, then we believe the first season’s cast members will return. These include Roshan Mathew as Alan Joseph, Dibyendu Bhattacharya as Neel Banerjee, and Kani Kusruti as DFO Dina.

What Will Happen Next In Poacher Season 2?

The first season was set in India and focused on events that took place in the dense woods of Kerala. It solely dealt with ivory poaching and how the situation turned out cryptic. Throughout the first season, forest officers and a team of investigators investigated the matter related to ivory poaching and trafficking. As the series progressed, things became more challenging for the forest department as they discovered the illegal ties connected with people abroad.

While the first season explored all the possible aspects of ivory poaching, Poacher Season 2 is said to deal with another such case, shedding light on another animal. The team hasn’t yet revealed which animal the second season will focus on. However, the series creator shared that they are working on Season 2. He said Poacher is a global phenomenon, and they are researching their second season’s subject.

So far, he has researched that every single person and everything has ties to different countries. Richie Mehta added that they figured out that the wildlife crime operations aren’t just taking place in India; they have multiple ties to other countries, so they have a lot of data to cover in Poacher Season 2. The story won’t only be residing in India. Mehta confirmed that the next season can be anywhere and everywhere, exploring the other sides of wildlife crime.
