The Boys Season 5: In Production! Is Release Date Out?

Eric Kripke is ready to return to close the Billy Butcher and Homelander chapter. Well, their rivalry has just extended, and it seems like things will become more challenging soon in The Boys Season 5. The show has already been the most loved series on Prime Video, and since it’s returning, its fans can’t wait to see when the series will return. Will it return this year?

Plenty of speculations are surfacing on social media, but you don’t need to fret. That’s because we’ve got you covered. So, keep reading to know when Season 5 of The Boys will return.

Based on Darick Robertson and Garth Ennis’ comic book series, The Boys is set in a universe where superheroes are considered gods. However, they aren’t what they see. Instead of helping others, these superheroes are managed by Vought International, a corrupt and powerful corporation. While the locals worship the superheroes, Billy Butcher and his group work to uncover their masks. Can they do that? Let’s see.

The Boys Season 5: Latest News

Eric Kripke is ready to return with the masterpiece series The Boys. While the series has remained one of the most loved shows ever on Amazon Prime, it’s nearing its end. But the streaming platform isn’t looking forward to the end of The Boys chapter. That’s why the streamer is ready to return with plenty of spinoff series. However, we have disappointing news for the fans. Though Prime Video is returning with more spinoffs, Kripke announced that he wouldn’t be a part of the spinoff series.

There’s no denying that he will return, but not as a showrunner. In an interview with Deadline, Kripke confirmed that he won’t be the day-to-day showrunner in the upcoming spinoffs. However, he will remain a part of the series. He will give notes on scripts and help everyone in crafting compelling storylines. He will be there to help them if they need him, but he won’t be available for the 24/7 grind. In addition, the fourth season’s premiere saw a 21% increase in viewership compared to the third season.

Prime Video

It shows that the series is highly popular, and there’s no denying that. Despite that, The Boys Season 4 faced a bit of controversy. The fourth season was centered on political themes, and since it aired ahead of the 2024 election, the finale was forced to undergo a name change. That was because of the attempted assassination of the former US president, Donald Trump.

When Will The Boys Season 5 Enter Production?

According to the reports, The Boys Season 5 is in the writing phase. Kripke told Deadline that the writer’s room for the fifth season was reunited a month ahead of the fourth season’s premiere. They already knew how they wanted things to continue and end. However, in the first four weeks, they only talked about the overall mythology and the entire story of The Boys.

Kripke hasn’t shared much about the series production phase, but he has already shared when the fifth season will enter production. Variety reports that The Boys’ Season 5 production will start this November and run until mid-2025. Well, it’s not the first time the series production has run for two years.

Prime Video

It’s pretty common in The Boys, as the show typically takes a year to wrap up filming and six to seven months to conclude post-production work. As for the fifth season, the production committee has shared that this season will consist of eight episodes only, just like the previous seasons.

The Boys Season 5 Cast Details

A major character return has been announced. Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles will return as Soldier Boy. The announcement was made as a part of San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, July 26. Ackles surprised everyone by joining the event. The showrunner then told Deadline that Soldier Boy will return as the series regular in The Boys Season 5. Kripke also said in a 2022 interview that he couldn’t wait to see the return of Soldier Boy. Besides them, the remaining series’ prominent cast members will return.

These include Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell, Erin Moriarty as Annie/Starlight, and Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk. Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko will also return, along with Tomer Capone as Serge/Frenchie and Antony Starr as Homelander. The Boys Season 5 will also bring back Chace Crawford as The Deep, Colby Minifie as Ashley Barrett, and Cameron Crovetti as Ryan. Nathan Mitchell as Black Noir will also join Susan Heyward as Sister Sage.

Prime Video

Other cast members include Valorie Curry as Firecracker, Rosemarie DeWitt as Daphne Campbell, and Dominique McElligott as Queen Maeve. Jeffrey Dean Morgan will also join The Boys Season 5 as Joe Kessler. However, Claudia Doumit won’t return as Vice President-elect Victoria Neuman. She confirmed her character’s death in an interview: “It is time for Neuman’s story to be over.” She added that only eight episodes are left, and so many stories are about to wrap up. So, it’s normal to conclude her story arc.

Jared Padalecki Joins Season 5

Jared Padalecki has also accepted the invitation to join The Boys Season 5. He told Deadline that he had talked with Eric about his role in The Boys Season 5. He said he was in that stage of his acting career where he wanted to work only on projects or people he cared about. So, when Eric invited him, he was all set to start filming as he loved Eric’s humor and as a person.

The Boys Season 5: What To Expect Next?

The fourth season’s finale hinted at what direction the show will move. In the finale, Butcher was on a killing spree as he killed multiple people and ran off with the Supe-killing virus. So, it’s clear that he will play the antagonist of The Boys Season 5 and will be behind Homelander. He is determined to kill Homelander and won’t stop until he accomplishes his mission. Meanwhile, Homelander will be behind the blonde Supe. She is already onto “Phase Two” of her plan and will create more complications for the former.

Prime Video

In the finale, she succeeded in announcing martial law, which will undoubtedly create more challenges for Homelander. As for the fifth season, it has yet to reveal the whereabouts of A-Train and Homelander’s son Ryan. While a lot has to be addressed, The Boys Season 5 will explore the father-son relationship as Solider Boy returns. Homelander now knows that Soldier Boy is his biological father and is also aware of his whereabouts. So, he will indeed go and unfroze him.

Well, this angle will undoubtedly reveal how Soldier Boy and Homelander will react and whether they will cherish the moment. As for Soldier Boy, his return will create challenges for Butcher. He is determined to kill Butcher as the latter has backstabbed him, and so he will work on his way to kill Butcher. On the other hand, Kripke confirmed that various characters will die in The Boys Season 5. They are ready to write off several characters, so the fifth season will witness several deaths.

Is The Boys Season 5 The Final One?

Unfortunately, yes! The fifth season of The Boys will mark the ending of this flagship series. Eric Kripke confirmed this news via a tweet on X. During the premiere week of the fourth season of The Boys, Kripke announced that the fifth season would remain the series’ final season. He also confirmed that it was his plan from the beginning and that he wanted to end the stories naturally. While his Supernaturals ran for 15 seasons, he planned to conclude The Boys with five seasons only.

Are There More Spinoffs?

Prime Video

While The Boys Season 5 will be the final season, the series will bring several spinoff series to continue The Boys franchise. Gen V is already renewed for a second season. The series will pick straight from the fourth season of The Boys. It will reveal all the missing threads of the fourth season. Production of the series was delayed due to the death of the lead cast member, Chance Perdomo. However, it has finally returned to filming.

In addition, at Comic-Con 2024, Kripke confirmed that The Boys will return with several more spinoffs. Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) and Stormfront (Aya Cash) will return to cast on the new show, Vought Rising. Paul Grellong will serve as the series showrunner and the executive producer of the series. Another spinoff series, The Boys: Mexico, was also announced.

Prime Video

It will hail from Blue Beetle writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer alongside Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna. They will serve as the series executive producer. However, a search has been conducted for a co-showrunner. That’s because Luna and Bernal will return for smaller roles in the series. So, the series has been in search for another co-showrunner.

The Boys Season 5 Release Date

Filming for the fifth and final season has yet to start, so it is safe to say that the show won’t return this year. However, we do not know when it will return. According to Karl Urban’s post, The Boys Season 5 is confirmed to return in mid-2026.

He posted a picture of him with co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan on Instagram. Urban wrote that working with Dean Morgan was the best part of the shooting. He also said, “See you in 2 years (wish it was sooner) for the final season on @primevideo.” This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

Yellowjackets Season 3: In Production! Will Return With A Bonus Episode

There’s no denying that Yellowjackets is on a winning spree. After a massively successful first two seasons, Showtime is gearing up to return with Yellowjackets Season 3. That’s right! Season 3 is all set to bring back the mystery surrounding the New Jersey high school girls’ soccer team’s survival and how things will affect their future.

While the second season explored the gritty drama, leading to one of the characters’ death, Season 3 has promised to bring more “weirder” stuff to the audience’s plate. Ready to get more surprises? Keep reading!

Created by Bart Nickerson and Ashley Lyle, Yellowjackets is set in the ’90s and 2021. After the New Jersey high school girls’ soccer team’s plane crashes deep in the wilderness, their lives turn dark. Things become more chaotic as the surviving team members are left with no choice but to turn to cannibalism for their survival. The series chronicles the girls’ attempt to survive in the wilderness before their rescue.

Yellowjackets Season 3 Is Back

Showtime’s Yellowjackets hit the world by storm with its excellent narration and marvelous portrayal. The series debuted in November 2021. Shortly after its release, the show became one of the most-watched series on the network. In fact, the first season gained a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which shows that the series is a pure gem.

That’s why, in December 2022, Paramount+ announced that Yellowjackets had been renewed for Season 3 ahead of its second season premiere. While fans waited for the highly anticipated second season, which was set to air on Friday, March 26, 2023, the network surprised the audience with a Yellowjackets Season 3 renewal.

Showtime, Paramount+

It revealed that the first season performed incredibly well on the platform, with an average weekly viewers of over 5M. Showtime and Paramount Media Networks President/CEO Chris McCarthy also said that the first season’s success has pent-up anticipation for season 2. However, they wanted to maximize the momentum by bringing season 3 to the surface.

McCarthy added that the Yellowjackets’ ambition was only exceeded by its execution. He also thanked the incredible creative team behind the series. McCarthy said, “I thank the incredible creative team behind it, including Ashley [Lyle], Bart [Nickerson], Jonathan [Lisco], and eOne [Entertainment One, the production company behind the series], for turning this into such a success.”

Yellowjackets Season 3: Production Status

While Showtime announced the third season in December 2022, the series didn’t undergo filming that year. Yellowjackets was among those series that faced setbacks due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. The writing room for the third season was shut down a day after the WGA strike, which started in early May 2023.

Although the series faced delays, per Deadline, it resumed production in early October 2023. It was in the writing phase and took months to start filming. The series started filming in May 2024 in Vancouver. The official series Instagram account announced on May 14, 2024, that Yellowjackets Season 3 had begun production.

It reads, “We know you’re starving… #Yellowjackets Season 3 is officially in production.” The series’ official account also shared a few exclusive photos from the Vancouver set. It also shared a picture of the front page of episode 1’s script, which is written by showrunner Ashley Lyle, directed by showrunner Bart Nickerson, and produced by Jonathan Lisco and Nickerson.

Yellowjackets Season 3 Cast Details

The production committee has confirmed that one new face will join Yellowjackets Season 3. The Bear and Community star Joel McHale will appear as a guest. However, no further details about his character have been released. Besides him, we do know who won’t make a return in the third season. Alex Wyndham and Juliette Lewis won’t return as the police officer Kevyn Tan and the adult version of Nat.

That’s because they both died in the second season finale. It also remains unclear whether Simone Kessell’s Lottie will return. In the finale, she was admitted to a psychiatric institution. Meanwhile, in the ’90s timeline, Javi and Crystal won’t return as they couldn’t make it to the end.

Showtime

However, their actors Luciano Leroux and Nuha Jes Izman suggested they could return in the form of flashbacks. Now, speaking of the surviving characters who will return in Yellowjackets Season 3 are as follows. Melanie Lynskey will return as Shauna, Christina Ricci as Misty, and Tawny Cypress as Taissa.

Lauren Ambrose as Van and Elijah Wood as Walter will also return. Warren Kole as Shauna’s husband Jeff will return with their daughter Callie (played by Sarah Desjardins). As for the ’90s timeline, Sophie Nelisse as teen Shauna will return, along with Jasmin Savoy Brown as teen Taissa and Liv Hewson as teen Van. Sophie Thatcher as teen Nat, Steven Kreuger as Ben, and Kevin Alves as Travis will also return.

Christina Ricci Had A Heartfelt Moment

Ricci, who plays adult Misty on Yellowjackets, talks about her bond with Juliette Lewis (Natalie) in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in June 2024. She said they spent so much time together and bonded strongly. They really loved each other, and their relationship was not comparable.

Showtime

However, things won’t be the same after Natalie’s death in Yellowjackets Season 3. Although Ricci will return, she won’t be acting alongside Lewis. She said, “It was really sad for her [Juliette Lewis] character [Natalie] to be killed off.” Christina Ricci continued by saying that they had filmed a couple of episodes, and she missed Juliet.

What Will Happen In Yellowjackets Season 3

The second season’s finale left the door open for the third season, which suggests Yellowjackets Season 3 will answer all the questions. In the present-day timeline, Taissa’s sleepwalking problem remains to be addressed. The show hasn’t yet revealed what causes it and what she does when unconscious. So, it’s likely that the third season will explore this angle, revealing her misadventure while sleepwalking.

The finale also suggests that Simone is in the hospital after the car accident. So, it remains to be seen whether she will survive and what happens to their son Sammy. Sammy knows a lot about his mother’s reunion with the high school ex, so what he will do remains to be seen. Simone’s relationship with Van might suffer after reuniting with her ex.

Showtime, Paramount+

Plus, on the work front, things will turn more dramatic. That’s because Simone suddenly disappeared for a week after she was elected as a state senator. As for Van, it doesn’t seem like she has time to live. Van told Taissa in the second season that she had terminal cancer. But will there be a cure for this in the wilderness to save her?

Misty will face a challenging situation after Nat’s death. Plus, there’s a problem with Walter as well. Can he be trusted? Yellowjackets Season 3 will also reveal Lottie’s fate, as the second season saw her in psychiatric care. As for the ’90s timeline, Javi’s friend will play a huge role, and it focuses on the evolution of the girls’ hunting ritual.

Creator Teases Yellowjackets Season 3 Will Be “Weirder”

On X, Ashley Lyle teased that the third season will be “weirder.” She took to X shortly after the second season’s finale, which broke all the records with 1.5 million viewers on Showtime. Ashley questioned, “Are we gonna get weirder?” She said, “Probably!” The finale death will play a huge role in Yellowjackets Season 3, affecting the antiheroes in massive ways. She suggested that the girls might go even down and dirtier as they struggle to survive.

Showtime

The showrunner further told The Wrap that Yellowjackets Season 3 will retain the same vibe as the first season. Director Karyn Kusama also suggested that season 3 will explore another 1998 timeline. The same was introduced in the second season, where the survivors returned to the normal world. Kusama said that there is a lot of material left to be explored. The characters will face some major changes after reorienting themselves to normalcy, which is supposed to be. Their normal will be different than others’ normal.

Cast Hints At Season 3 Theme

Christina Ricci told The Hollywood Reporter that season 3 of Yellowjackets will ante a little. This season will be more shocking than the first two seasons, she said. The third season will be brutal and messier. However, viewers can also expect to see a lot of comedy as the show will focus on the darker element of cannibalism.

Samantha Hanratty also told Entertainment Tonight that Yellowjackets Season 3 will be the meltdown. The first season was messy and chaotic, and season 2 was cold and dark as they struggled to survive in winter. Meanwhile, the third season of Yellowjackets will reveal the true faces of people they know.

There Be A Special Episode Before Yellowjackets Season 3

Ahead of the third season premiere, the fans will receive a pleasant surprise. Showrunner Ashley Lyle confirmed via an X tweet that Yellowjackets will return with a special bonus episode. The long-running series will surprise the audience by bringing a bonus episode bridging the two seasons. Ashley replied to a user’s post and said there would be a bonus episode, but it remains unclear when it would return. The production committee has yet to announce its release date.

Will There Be More Seasons?

Hopefully! Showtime has renewed Yellowjackets for a third season, but co-creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson plan to make it long-running. They plan to last the series for five seasons, and interestingly, they’re “still on track for that.” Showrunner Ashley told Entertainment Weekly that there are always stories to be told. There’s room to return with more seasons. However, she clarified that she and her team don’t think they can continue the series past five seasons.

Ashley said that there are shows that can go on forever. But it’s not the same with Yellowjackets as it explores the story of these characters’ lives. So, she wants to reach a satisfying conclusion, which can deeply conclude the characters’ story arc. “Isn’t really one of those setup shows,” Ashley said, “where it can go anywhere.” So far, they are on track, but there can be a lot of discoveries that might change the track. “So it’s always a little bit surprising.” However, they are on point to conclude things up with five seasons.

Yellowjackets Season 3 Release Date

Showtime, Paramount+

Although the series was renewed in 2022, it has yet to wrap up filming. Yellowjackets are currently in the filming stage, which will take a couple more months to conclude. In addition, the post-production work will also take four to five months to wrap up everything. Considering this, it doesn’t seem like the show will return soon. However, Showtime told Deadline that the Yellowjackets Season 3 release date will be 2025. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

Dream Deals Season 2: Did Prime Video Renew The Show Secretly?

The real estate business has grown over the years, and this reality series, Dream Deals, has been making waves on the internet since its debut. The show is undoubtedly the most amazing series on Prime Video. But will we get Dream Deals Season 2? While the first season was epic as it focused on fierce competition, jealousy, and internal battles, many want to know how things will be moved in the second season. Will all the agents return for another round? Let’s find out!

Dream Deals is a reality television series set in Dubai, known for its mega-deals and ruthless competition. To enter the real estate business, four German agents—Sarah, Valeria, Louisa, and Edwin—work together to achieve their dream of fast wealth. However, things aren’t that simple, and these lucrative deals in Dubai make the competition more challenging, especially when their demanding boss puts constant pressure on them.

Is Dream Deals Season 2 Renewed?

Prime Video is working on expanding its streaming list. The streaming giant is adding more reality television shows to cater to its audience’s thirst. This latest addition, Dream Deals, is currently on a winning streak. The show debuted on September 13, 2024, and made headlines as it explored the multi-million-dollar business and how competition can make a big difference in a team. While many loved the catfight, it remains unclear whether the show will return for another run.

Prime Video

Yes, that’s right! The streaming platform hasn’t yet renewed the show for Season 2. Thus, Dream Deals Season 2’s fate remains up in the air. But don’t fret! That’s because the series performed well on other platforms. It gained solid ratings on IMDb, earning 6.8 out of 10. This is a good sign that the show can return, as reality TV shows generally don’t receive such ratings.

Plus, this series’s audience is head over heels as it features fierce competition between real estate agents. This is another big reason everyone is clamoring for Dream Deals Season 2. However, Prime Video hasn’t yet announced the show’s renewal. It’s been only a month, so it doesn’t seem like the show will receive a cancellation. Prime Video typically takes a few months to make the renewal announcement. Considering this, it’s safe to say that the show might return sooner or later.

Chances Of Dream Deals Season 2

Although nothing is known to this date, Prime Video will soon make an official announcement. The streaming giant considers viewership when renewing the show for another season. However, it hasn’t yet revealed how many people subscribed to the show. Plus, there’s no news about the show’s ratings. Did it enter Nielsen’s top ten chart? Well, nothing is known to this date. This might be why the streaming platform will take time to return.

Prime Video

But we do have pleasant news! The show hasn’t been billed as “limited.” The pilot season is called “Season 1,” hinting at its potential return. In addition, such reality television series don’t end after one season. Several such shows have returned for more than one season. So, considering this, it seems like it will return with Dream Deals Season 2. However, nothing has been written in stone. But don’t fret. We will update you.

Why Do We Need Dream Deals Season 2?

The show focuses on a highly competitive career in which four German agents, Valeria, Sarah, Louisa, and Edwin, compete fiercely to win a big deal. While the real estate business is a high-octane career, these agents deal with the power struggle as they try to win a unique opportunity. It also leads to a battle between Valeria and Sarah. Both are ready to snatch a big deal to gain a higher hand in the business. Since the first season focused on their rivalry and the drama it created in the show, fans are eager to see it again.

There’s no denying that such rivalry and battle for power are the most loved concepts among fans. Plus, the first season ended with these four agents fighting against each other to secure a big deal. On the other hand, their boss made things more challenging for them. Since fans loved the tense environment and how these agents deal with everything, they want it to be explored more.

Prime Video

Prime Video can also return with Dream Deals Season 2. That’s because no reality series like Dream Deals focuses on internal rivalry, jealousy, and the battle for power. This series is more like Selling Sunset, which has been a long-running show on Netflix. So, if it returns with another run, this show can make a lasting impression on the platform.

Dream Deals Season 2 Cast: Who Will Join The Show?

If the show returns for another season, it will definitely bring back the main cast members. The show focuses on four German agents who will return to create a big difference in the real estate business. So, without any doubt, it’s safe to say that Valeria, Louisa, Sarah, and Edwin will return. In addition, their boss, Firas, will also join the show for another season. However, we can also expect to see some new faces. Prime Video might return with more agents if it plans to expand the series. But it is currently unclear.

What Will Happen In Season 2?

The series began with Valeria seizing an eight-figure property right in front of her rival, Sarah. This set the stage for their power battle. While Sarah and Valeria indulged in a steamy rivalry, the former teamed up with Edwin to snatch that deal from Valeria. As the two fought to secure the deal, Valeria was one step closer to losing the biggest deal of her career. However, her main rival, Sarah, was all set to secure this opportunity to turn in her favor.

Prime Video

This tug of war created more tension in the workplace as both tried their best to win this biggest-ever opportunity. On the other hand, Louisa received an alarming message. That later left her vulnerable, so to ease her mind, Louisa escaped to Germany and met her mentor, Bushido. Meanwhile, Sarah and Valeria’s rivalry escalated. Both didn’t want to lose the deal, which later forced them to use some dirty tricks.

While the first season focused on Sarah and Valeria’s battle to win the deal, Dream Deals Season 2 will explore more such opportunities. Dubai is known for its real estate business, so there won’t be a scarcity of such opportunities. Season 2 can also focus on Louisa and her tense relationship with her boss. Will she lose her job in the second season? Only time will tell.

Dream Deals Season 2 Release Date

Prime Video

The show has yet to be renewed. Thus, it remains unclear when it will return. But don’t fret. That’s because there are plenty of reasons for the show to return. As for the Dream Deals Season 2 release date, it won’t return this year. The production takes at least six to seven months to conclude. So, considering this, Season 2 will be released in the fall of 2025. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

Heels Season 3: Netflix Acquires The Right After Cancelation

Starz Heels created an uproar after its debut, but the same couldn’t happen for the show’s second season. This led many to believe that the series was just a done deal and wouldn’t return after Starz left hopes for the next run. However, the series star Stephen Amell shared that Heels Season 3 could be possible. In an interview, Amell recently shared his high hopes, suggesting his plans for the next run.

Well, this piece of news is enough for wrestling drama fans to root for their favorite series. So, without further ado, let’s head to see what the creator has plans for the next run.

Netflix

Created by Michael Waldron, Heels is about professional wrestling and how things change in the brothers’ lives. One brother acts as a villain, or “heel,” while another plays a hero, or “face,” in the scripted Duffy Wrestling League (DWL). As the series progresses, it focuses on two brothers and rivals who find themselves in a tug-of-war to gain fame. But things become more complicated when the scripted matches start losing popularity, bringing more drama.

Is Heels Season 3 Canceled?

Heels Season 2 premiered in late July 2023 and ran until mid-September 2023. While the show was once Starz’s flagship series, the streaming platform decided not to continue with it. The streamer canceled the series after two seasons despite the series being a critically acclaimed show on the platform. It gained positive ratings from the audience and critics.

It earned 8 stars out of 10 on IMDb and 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. In addition, the show was a hit among the critics. The critics even called the show one of the best series. It states, “Stephen Amell and Alexander Ludwig sell hard in Heels.”

Netflix

Many even called the series impressive, telling the story of both sides of the rope. In fact, the second season performed incredibly well on Metacritic, gaining 79, while the first season gained only 73. Despite this, the show failed to find a substantial audience. This later led to the series’s cancelation after the second season’s ending.

While it’s been a year, Starz hasn’t shared anything about the next season. The streaming platform has remained mum about the series’ fate. In fact, reports suggest that Starz is in the process of splitting itself from its parent company, Lionsgate. This is the major reason the streaming platform is canceling several flagship series. In addition, most of the Jeff Hirsch-led cabler’s scripts were produced by the parent company, causing issues for them.

Stephen Amell Hints At Heels Season 3

Many lost hope after the series was canceled and believed it wouldn’t return for another run. However, Stephen Amell, who played Jack Spade, shared that the critically acclaimed wrestling drama could return. In an interview with Insight, Amell said there’s a chance the show could be restored. Netflix has acquired the rights to the series, and it will be available on the platform.

Well, the streaming giant is known for reviving several canceled series. Back in 2020, Netflix returned with a massive series collection that was canceled on their parent platform. Not only this, but the streaming giant also renewed those series for further installments. Thus, many are hopeful and believe Heels Season 3 can happen.

Netflix

In fact, Amell told Chris van Vliet during the interview that there’s a possibility for the next run. He said people who loved the series would love to revisit the show, and many would tune into Netflix to catch the wrestling drama. However, Amell emphasized that season 3 could create complications with his schedule.

He’s currently working with Suits and has other jobs as his priority. So Amell will focus on the things in his hands rather than shifting to Heels Season 3. However, the actor said in the interview that it doesn’t mean he won’t return. He will definitely make his return possible. He didn’t want to spoil anything but believed there was more to be told. So, Amell will return for sure.

Netflix Plans To Renew Heels For Season 3

While Amell and others hope the streaming giant will return with another installment as soon as possible, sources suggest Netflix has plans for Heels. Sources say that Netflix has not renewed the series yet but plans to renew it as soon as it enters the platform. Netflix is currently focusing on the series’ performance. The streaming giant wants to see how well Heels performs on the streamer.

If Heels broke all the records, then the chances of its renewal are higher. Netflix has been negotiating to acquire the rights to the series for the past few months. That’s because Lionsgate Television immediately shipped the series after its cancelation.

Netflix

This suggests that the streaming giant will soon return with another season as it is working on expanding its sport and so-called “sports adjacent.” It has also staged its live sports events after the success of sports docuseries like Drive to Survive. Also, this Heels deal is a prime example of the streaming giant’s willingness to revive the show at a lower cost.

This practice gained momentum after the COVID era when production was shut down. Netflix revived several canceled shows, leading to massive success and earnings for the streaming giant. So, this Heels’ return could prove a great deal for the streaming giant, only if the show performed incredibly well on the platform. This can also lead to the renewal of Heels Season 3.

Heels Season 3 Cast Details

Heels shares the story of two brothers, Jack Spade (played by Stephen Amell) and Ace Spade (Alexander Ludwig). So, if the series gets renewed for the next run, the brothers will definitely return. But there’s a catch! Amell has signed a deal with NBC’s highly anticipated spinoff of Suits. Since the series is one of the most talked-about shows, it doesn’t seem like Amell could leave it. This suggests that Amell’s return could be challenging. However, the actor is ready to return.

Netflix

This might make the show’s third season possible. Ludwig’s availability will also play a part. The actor signed a deal with MGM+ sci-fi drama Earth Abides, so it doesn’t seem like he will return with Heels Season 3. The schedule conflict will create complications for the series stars. However, the production committee will confirm whether the series will return for the next run.

Heels Season 3 Release Date

The show hasn’t yet been renewed for the third season, so it’s hard to guess when it will return. However, Amell confirmed that Heels has been added to Netflix’s streaming list. The show’s first two seasons are available on Netflix from September 15, 2024. Fans can tune into the series if they want to see Heels Season 3 since the viewership count can only help the series return with another run.

Speaking of the Heels Season 3 release date, we will learn about the exact details later this year. This is all for now. Stay tuned. TechRadar247 will keep you updated.

Ted Lasso Season 4: Warner Bros Picks Core Cast Members Teases Series Return

Is Ted Lasso Season 4 on the cards? Season 3 ended on a conclusive note, leading many to believe the series is a done deal. But what if we tell you it isn’t? That’s right! The recent update suggests the show is gearing up for its next installment. In fact, Warner Bros. plans to continue the series, and the production house doesn’t think they can say a final goodbye to the show just like this.

In addition, the production company has contacted a few of the cast members, suggesting that season 4 is on the cards. Keep reading to learn more.

Apple TV+

Ted Lasso is an American sports dramedy that follows the story of a college football coach who was unexpectedly recruited to coach AFC Richmond. Despite his lack of experience coaching soccer, the team’s owner, Rebecca Welton, hired him to cause the team’s downfall so she could take revenge on her former husband. However, instead of meeting Rebecca’s goals, Lasso’s humor and personality brought changes. Lasso not only won over her but also the team and all those who remained skeptical about his appointment.

Is Ted Lasso Season 4 Happening?

The third season of Ted Lasso premiered back on March 15, 2023, and wrapped up airing on May 31, 2023, leaving many to wonder what is next for the show. While the showrunner never discussed his plans for the next run, Warner Bros. TV is planning to return. In an interview with Variety, Warner Bros. TV CEO Channing Dungey teased that the series’s revival has been in the air since it ended.

Dungey said that they have been in talks since last year. He said the third season left the door open for the next season. “I mean, you watched the finale; there’s a little bit of a door that could be kicked back open if need be,” said Dungey. He said there’s the possibility to return with Ted Lasso Season 4. Everyone loves Ted Lasso, and they have high hopes that the show could return.

Apple TV+

Dungey added that they are looking for some opportunity and will return once they can make another season. Although the team is in talks, nothing is official. The series is undoubtedly a massive success on Apple TV. Throughout its run, the show has remained the flagship series of the streaming platform, gaining critical ratings from the audience as well as critics.

The show received 8.8 stars out of 10 on IMDb. Meanwhile, it gained 90% positive ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite that, the series didn’t return with Ted Lasso Season 4 after the end of last year’s third season. However, one thing to note is that the series has never been canceled. That’s right! The show ended on its conclusive nature, and Apple TV+ never canceled the series. So, the chances of its return are high.

Creator Envisioned It As Three Seasons Deal

While Ted Lasso remained the most popular series on the platform, the show was always intended to continue with a three-season arc. Brett Goldstein, who played Roy Kent, told the Sunday Times that they wrote the third season as it was the last. Brendan Hunt, who played Coach Beard, also told EW they always meant to end the series with three seasons.

Apple TV+

He believed it would be pretty cool if they just stuck to their plans to end the show with three seasons, irrespective of how much people liked it. Hunt added, “But even as committed to that idea as Jason [Sudeikis] may have been, none of us were prepared to the degree to which people love this show.”

Generally, shows that consist of abusive language don’t leave a lasting impact on the viewers, leading the cast members and creators to believe that ending the series with a third season was better. However, Hunt said he’s happy to return if Jason wants to. Meanwhile, Jason had always envisioned the series as a three-season arc.

Apple TV+

After the show concluded on Apple TV+, the series cast and creatives spoke to Deadline as it was the final season. Jason said Ted Lasso Season 3 is the end of the story they wanted to tell. He knew the folks would want more and remain curious to see how things would move. However, Jason believed ending the show with the third season would be better. He added that having Season 3 is flattering.

But Creators Are Ready To Return With Ted Lasso Season 4

Although Jason and others said they wanted to conclude the series with the third season, sources said they are ready to return. Jason Sudeikis told US Open 2024 that he heard people saying that there is Ted Lasso Season 4, as it was announced on a website. He said he was excited to finally learn about it but didn’t know what to say about the fourth season.

The creator also said that he hadn’t talked with the cast and crew members of the show. However, he could positively say that everyone loved the experience. Juno Temple also had a similar reaction at the 2024 Emmys. Temple said that she heard about this and didn’t know whether the series would be returning. However, she was excited about Ted Lasso Season 4 and would want to return.

Apple TV+

The series co-creator, Bill Lawrence, also said they had no clue about the series’ next run. However, if “Jason feels like doing, and whatever his decision is,” everyone would happily join him for another run. Bill said that Jason wasn’t only the actor of the series but also the head writer.

So, he is the person behind the popular series and can craft things perfectly. If the show returns for another season, they can tell the story of Lasso moving to a foreign country with his young kids. Undoubtedly, it will be a big deal for him, and fans will get to learn how he deals with the new challenges.

Ted Lasso Season 4 Cast Revealed

Deadline reported Warner Bros TV has already had words with three core cast members. Sources suggest that Hannah Waddingham (who plays AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Walton), Jeremy Swift (who plays Director of Football Operations Leslie Higgins), and Brett Goldstein (who plays Roy Kent) will return. The production company has secured the contracts with the three main cast members.

Apple TV+

Since the trio belongs to UK Equity, their contract differs from that of US actors. However, the production team hasn’t revealed who else will return. But it is confirmed that Phil Dunster, who played Jamie Tartt, won’t return because of scheduling conflicts.

In an interview with Esquire, Dunster revealed that he would miss playing that character as it was different from his personality. He talked about his character’s development and how Tartt changed with the times. While Dunster will miss playing Tartt, reports say he won’t return.

Ted Lasso Season 4 Release Date

Apple TV+

As of now, nothing is know about the Ted Lasso Season 4 release date. The series is currently in talks but if everything works perfectly well then reports suggest that the show will enter production phase in early 2025. Warner Bros. TV is currently in talks to open the writing room for the fourth season. Considering this, it’s safe to say that the fourth season will return in the fall of 2025 or early 2026. This is all for now.

The White Lotus Season 3: In Production! Boss Hints At 2025 Release Window

The second season of The White Lotus ended on a tragic note, leaving fans to wonder whether the series will return after concluding Tanya’s storyline. But you will be surprised to know that the series creator, Mike White, is all set to bring back the thrilling and dark comedy series on our screens. That’s right! The White Lotus Season 3 is already happening.

The showrunner recently released how things will move in the next season. So, without further ado, let’s head to see how things will play out in the other chain of White Lotus Resort.

Created by Mike White, The White Lotus focuses on the lives of the guests and employees of the fictional resort White Lotus. The show focuses on their interactions and how their lives take a twisting turn. Their interactions are also affected by several psychosocial dysfunctions. However, as the series progresses, it focuses on a darker storyline, and the complexity emerges in those travelers’ and employees’ lives.

The White Lotus Season 3 Is Back

The White Lotus has created a separate fanbase among dramedy fans, which can be seen in its high popularity. HBO officially renewed the series for the third season just a month after its debut. The sophomore season debuted back in October 2022, and the network soon renewed it for Season 3.

In addition, the series creator and showrunner Mike White teased that the upcoming season will be “supersized.” He told Entertainment Weekly that this season is going to be “longer, bigger, and crazier.” He added that he is super excited, “so at least for my own barometer, that’s a good thing.” White is excited about the content of this new season and how things will be played off.

HBO

While it remains unclear what happened in The White Lotus Season 3, Michelle Monaghan, the newcomer cast of this season, confirmed that this season will be bigger than the first two seasons. In addition, Monaghan said that the third season will have a larger ensemble cast. That’s because this season is “really special.”

When Will The Filming Of The White Lotus Season 3 Start?

While the third season was renewed in 2022, it didn’t undergo production last year. White shared that they planned to start filming The White Lotus Season 3 “at the beginning of the year.” However, the SAG-AFTRA strike hindered their plans. White added that he had already finished the scripting work, but the Hollywood strike pushed the casting process.

He told EW that he would have to push the casting process again if the strike weren’t resolved soon. That was because they had a new cast every season, so many things had to be seen. The showrunner has yet to share when filming will begin. However, he has revealed that the series will be filmed in Asia. White told Deadline that the first season took place in Hawaii, and the second season was filmed in Italy.

HBO

So, now they are ready to film in Asia. He said, “Something crazy like that, that would be fun,” referring to filming in an Asian country. Executive producer David Bernad added that they hoped to work in Asia and that The White Lotus Season 3 could make this happen.

HBO later confirmed that Season 3 of The White Lotus will be shot in Bangkok, Phuket, and Ko Samui. Filming is supposed to start in February 2024. According to reports, it will take place at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui for three months. The reports further state that the filming would move to Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas in April and May. However, the network has yet to confirm this.

Filming Was Supposed To Happen In Japan

Initially, The White Lotus Season 3 was rumored to be filmed in Tokyo. However, the filming location was later shifted to Thailand. Deadline reported that the shift was due to “tax incentives.” At the Tokyo Film Festival, Japanese producer Georgia Pope said that they had a location scouting trip, and it was great. Pope recalled seeing some stunning locations in Honshu; the showrunner loved it all.

The producer was confident that Season 3 would take place in Japan. However, things ultimately changed when a Thai production company entered the picture. The series crew shared that the Thai production company ensured a 30 percent rebate. Pope revealed, “For their project [in Thailand], that means $4.4 million alone.” However, in Japan, they had no incentive. All they could hear “was the sound of a $35 million project flying out the window.”

The White Lotus Season 3 Cast Details

The third season will welcome back Natasha Rothwell as the spa manager Belinda Lindsey. She was scammed in the first season by Tanya. While Tanya’s actress won’t return, the third season will bring some new cast members to the picture. These include Carrie Coon, Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, Tayme Thapthimthong, and Dom Hetrakul.

HBO also announced that more newcomers will join the series. These include Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood, and Patrick Schwarzenegger. Interestingly, Blackpink‘s Lisa Manobal is also on board for The White Lotus Season 3. Besides her, Nicholas Duvernay, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Arna Fedaravičius will also join the show for the third season.

HBO

The other cast members include Christian Friedel, Shalini Peiris, Lek Patravadi, and Morgana O’Reilly. Initially, it was reported that Francesca Corney and Miloš Biković would join the third season. However, it was later reported that their roles have been recast. Charlotte Le Bon will replace Corney for the next season, while Julian Kostov will replace Biković for her connection to Russia.

Later, the first season star Connie Britton, who played Nicole, told Deadline that the showrunner wanted her to be in the second season. However, they couldn’t put things to work in season 2. She was excited that her character would return for season 3. But a spokesperson told TVLine that Britton wouldn’t be a part of the next installment.

What Will Happen In The White Lotus Season 3?

Although nothing is known about The White Lotus Season 3, White did share how things would move in the third run. In a recent clip, the showrunner shared that the first season highlighted money, and the second focused on sex. So, it is expected that the third season will be focused on some “satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality.”

He added that the third season will focus on a rich tapestry as it will take another round on the series. White hinted that some parts of the second season could carry over to the third run. He said the murder-for-hire plot could revisit The White Lotus. The plot revolves around Tanya’s husband, Greg (Jon Gries), and her assistant, Portia (Haley Lu Richardson), who will also play a part in the next season.

https://youtu.be/7_fSOMJxgVk

White added that Portia was scared enough to stay alone after the conspiracy related to Tanya’s death and what happened to Greg. However, those guys died in the second season, so it could be possible that someone else could track them down to take Greg’s revenge. Meanwhile, HBO’s head, Casey Bloys, told Deadline that they hadn’t seen any footage of the third season.

He had only read scripts and seen dailies. So, he had high hopes with The White Lotus Season 3. However, when it comes to the storyline, he doesn’t know how things will move in the third part. But one thing is sure: season 3 will focus on a multigenerational gang with a patriarch, a couple of mothers, a female corporate executive, a country club wife, a yogi, and a misfit.

The White Lotus Season 3 Release Date

HBO

The series is currently in production, which means it won’t return this year. HBO chairman and CEO Casey Bloys confirmed the news. In a press conference, Bloys reported that the White Lotus Season 3 release date was set for 2024, but the show will now be part of the 2025 lineup. While the exact release date hasn’t been shared, Bloys told Deadline that season 3 will arrive in the first half of the year. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

The Night Of Season 2: HBO Boss Teases A Potential Sequel

Since The Night Of debuted, fans have wondered whether the series will return with another highly popular season. The show ended on a cliffhanger, leaving a door open for The Night Of Season 2. However, years have passed, and we haven’t heard anything about its sophomore run. Is it still on the cards? Speculation is running wild, and many believe the show has been canceled. However, HBO’s head revealed that things are on the making side. Will the show return? Let’s see!

Based on the British series Criminal Justice, the first season explored the story of a Pakistani-American college student who was accused of murdering a girl in New York City. The series focused on a lawyer, John Stone, Naz, and Chandra Kapoor’s storyline, who focused on uncovering the murder mystery. While the show explored the convict’s side of the story, it also focused on how the murder mystery case affected Naz’s life.

Is The Night Of Season 2 Canceled?

The pilot season debuted in July 2016, and fans haven’t heard of The Night Of since then. It’s been eight years, and neither the creator nor the CEO of HBO has opened up about the sophomore season of the gritty crime drama. While the series performed incredibly well on the network, many believed the show was mapped to end with one season only.

HBO

The first season of The Night Of was a hit among the audience as well as the critics. It gained 8.4 stars out of 10 on IMDb and 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not only this, but the series pilot episode premiere also broke all the records. It drew 2.1 million viewers before grossing 8.2 million viewers on HBO. This increase in viewership suggested that the show was a mega success on the network before dropping the entire season.

Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, where the series aired in September 2016, it drew 468,000 viewers. In fact, the series later saw an increase in viewership. It drew 2.5 million viewers across Sky’s On Demand platforms. This shows that The Night Of performed incredibly well on both platforms.

HBO

Despite that, The Night of Season 2 hasn’t seen the light of the day. This led many to believe that the series might not return. That was because of its conclusive nature. The eight-episode run focused on the mystery surrounding a woman’s death. While the ending concluded with a cryptic note, many believed another season could be possible. But will there be?

HBO States The Night Of Season 2 Is Still A Possibility

Well, the show hasn’t ended. Although the first season concluded in 2016 and there haven’t been any words on the show’s next season, HBO’s CEO Casey Bloys suggested The Night Of Season 2 could happen. At the 2018 TCAs, Bloys told IndieWire that he was open to the idea of continuing with The Night Of. He believes the series has more to explore and doesn’t want to end the show with just one season.

However, Bloys wants things to work at their own pace. He told the outlet that he has faith in the series creator, Steven Zaillian, and doesn’t want to pressure him. Bloys said, “Steve is a little bit like Larry David,” referring to David’s habit of not returning with another season of Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO until the showrunner is ready.

HBO

HBO’s CEO said Steven would come to them when he was ready. They are ready to wait for that time. Bloys continued, “For a creative executive, that’s a nice feeling. ” If the series showrunner says he has plans for another season, he knows how to make it possible. That’s why they are giving him time so he can map another season and come to them when he has plans.

John Turturro Is Ready To Return For Season 2

The crime drama starring John Turturro and Riz Ahmed won many hearts with its powerful performances and narration. While the show received 13 Emmy nominations, winning five, there aren’t any words about The Night Of Season 2. However, the series star Turturro is hopeful about returning. He told Deadline that new episodes are possible.

The actor said they have some ideas for The Night Of Season 2. However, they were in the discussion phase, so it doesn’t seem like things are fruitful now. In addition, Turturro wanted to reprise his role as John Stone in The Night Of Season 2. The actor told The Hollywood Reporter in August 2018 that he would be “very interested” in returning because “I felt that character offered something really rich.”

HBO

He’s hoping everything falls perfectly on their table so they can return with another season. The actor is hopeful for Season 2, but it’s been eight years, and the showrunner hasn’t yet returned with another season. This led many to wonder whether there would be season 2 of The Night Of.

Other Cast Hints At The Night Of Season 2

Turturro isn’t the only one who wishes to return for the sophomore run. Apart from him, the series star Amara Karan is aiming to return. Amara told Variety she would love to return for another season of The Night Of. She said if there’s a great story like the first season, she would love to be a part of the show. In fact, she shared that she had learned there was a discussion going on about The Night Of Season 2.

Amara added that it’s a great show, and she enjoyed working with Riz, John Turturro, and Steven Zaillian. When asked whether The Night Of Season 2 was happening, Amara said, “I’ve heard chatter. Nothing real.” The actress further shed light on the upcoming plotline during her conversation with the outlet. She said the showrunner could write something positive for her character.

HBO

Plenty of wonderful stories could exist, such as Amara’s character opening her own law firm. There’s another possibility that she could start her career all over again. But for that, you have to wait for the second run. Riz Ahmed, who played Nasir “Naz” Khan, also discussed Season 2 of The Night Of’s storyline.

During an interview with THR, Riz shared that the second season could explore another storyline. He felt that Naz’s story was concluded. It was a part of a one-season one-off. He didn’t think that the second season would focus on his return. It could tell another story, just like the British version of the show.

The Night Of Season 2 Release Date

HBO

It’s been years, and the showrunner hasn’t shared anything about the second season, leading many to believe that the series won’t return. However, since HBO’s head, Casey Bloys, is looking forward to continuing with the show, we believe the network will make an official announcement sooner or later. Speaking of the The Night Of Season 2 release date, it seems like it will take a couple more years to return. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

However, with such a gritty narration, will we get more of I Am A Killer? Let’s find out.

I Am A Killer is a Netflix crime documentary series that digs deeper into the lives of the inmates convicted of murder.

Is I Am A Killer Season 6 Renewed?

I Am A Killer is the longest-running crime docuseries on Netflix. It debuted in August 2018 and quickly became the most popular series on the platform. The series received a huge response from both the audience and critics. While the show has been winning many hearts for its unfiltered crime stories, Netflix hasn’t yet renewed the show for the sixth season. That’s right! There is no news regarding I Am A Killer Season 6. Its fifth season was released on October 16, 2024.

Netflix

Since only a few weeks have passed, it doesn’t seem like the streamer will make an official announcement this soon. Typically, it takes a couple of years or more to return. The fourth season was released in 2022. However, it took Netflix two years to return with the fifth season. This might be the case with the sixth season. Whatever the case, the decision always lies in the viewership and cost of making the series. The streaming giant hasn’t yet disclosed the viewership of the series.

However, on the reception front, it has received positive ratings from the audience and critics. Season 5 has gained 7.3 stars out of 10 on IMDb.

Will There Be I Am A Killer Season 6?

Well, the show has been a mega-hit docuseries on the platform, and shortly after its premiere, the third season secured its spot in Netflix’s Global Top Ten. Season 3 stayed in the top ten for a week in 14 countries.

Netflix

Meanwhile, Season 4 remained in the global top ten in 11 countries for a week. However, the case was different with I Am A Killer Season 5. As expected, it secured a spot on the Global Top Ten but only ruled the chart for one week in 8 countries. These are Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Iceland, Ireland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This drop in popularity lowers the chances of Season 6. But if Netflix has renewed the series for the next run, it likely that the show has already entered production.

Boss Hints At Season 6

While the streamer hasn’t shared anything about I Am A Killer Season 6, the series creator has revealed that it could return with more seasons. Danny Tipping, Executive Producer at Transistor Films, said they are ready to work on more such seasons.

Danny added that they are excited to work with Netflix and are ready to continue working with the streamer.

Ned Parker, Executive Producer at Transistor Films, also shared his experience working on the show. He said, “It has been a fantastic experience, ” working with the exceptionally talented team and narrating such stories. Throughout its run, the show has tackled several challenging themes and dealt with numerous conflicting opinions, keeping the viewers on their toes. Ned added that the show has challenged their “preconceptions on the causes of violent crime.” He is eager to return to do it more.

What Could Have Happened In I Am A Killer Season 6?

As usual, the show will focus on its theme. Season 6 will delve deeper into the lives of the inmates who have committed henious crimes. Each six-episode explores a unique story of murder and the psychology behind it. The inmates who have acknowledged their guilt will return to narrate their story in I Am A Killer Season 6. Despite their attempts to seek redemption, their lives haven’t changed, which plays a pivotal role in the show. However, this docuseries is different from others.

Netflix

It doesn’t glamorize the action of murder and portrays everything in the true docuseries style. All these criminals are real, genuine, and remorseful for their deeds. While the series has focused on different elements of crime and someone’s mind, the next season will focus on other inmates. According to the reports, the show has already been filmed across 13 states in 10 prisons. All the inmates will be interviewed and asked to narrate their part in the crime. These inmates are either expected to spend their remaining life behind bars or are on death row.

I Am A Killer Season 6 Release Date

As of now, nothing has been known about I Am A Killer Season 6. While some sources suggest the sixth season is already in the cards, there’s no official news about the series renewal. However, don’t fret. Netflix will soon make an announcement. Since the rumors say it has already been filmed, the sixth season will likely be released earlier in 2026.

Penelope Season 2: Boss Says The Show Is “Un-Cancellable!” Will Return Soon!

Netflix is working on expanding its roaster, and Penelope fits perfectly well with the streamer’s algorithm. The series has just debuted, leaving a positive impact on its fans. However, many wonder whether there will be Penelope Season 2. While fans are curious to know about Season 2, the series boss has a pleasant update for us. The series creator, Mark Duplass, has recently shared that they have plans for another eight-episode drama, leaving a door open for the next installment. So, without further ado, let’s head to learn the show’s future.

Created by Mel Eslyn and Mark Duplass, Penelope is a coming-of-age drama that delves deeper into a sixteen-year-old girl. The show is set in the modern day, where a girl named Penelope struggles to live an ordinary life in the modern world. Due to her love for nature, she escapes from her modern-day lifestyle and starts living in the wilderness. While the story focuses on her struggle to live an ordinary life, it also explores the other elements of her personality and the characters around her.

Is Penelope Season 2 Renewed?

Unfortunately, not yet! The show debuted on September 24, 2024, and shortly became a popular series among its viewers. Two months have passed, but Netflix hasn’t yet renewed the series for another season, leaving Penelope Season 2’s fate in the air. The streamer typically takes a few months or more to make a renewal announcement. The renewal decision is mainly based on viewership vs. cost. Since the series isn’t a Netflix original, the cost might not play a significant role in renewing the show.

Netflix

During a guest appearance on Matt Belloni’s podcast The Town, co-creator Mark Duplass shared that the series was self-financed. Duplass found himself with an idea and decided to work on it. He and his team decided to adopt the traditional method. They produced the series and sold its distribution rights to Netflix for a two-year window. So, all rights are with Mel Eslyn and Duplass. While this benefits the creators, Duplass is waiting for Netflix’s decision.

In another interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Duplass said he is waiting to see how popular the series is. If it receives huge success, then there’s a high possibility that the show might return to season 2. However, if the show receives moderate success, there’s a slight chance of it returning with another season. Since the series was only available in the United States and isn’t a global sensation, there’s a slim chance of its renewal.

Will Netflix Renew Penelope Season 2?

Netflix generally takes viewership into account. The show has been making waves since its premiere. However, it isn’t a global sensation like Stranger Things. Despite that, Penelope secured its spot in the Global Top Ten. Shortly after its premiere, the coming-of-age drama secured the No. 8 spot on the global top ten. It remained on the charts for a week only in one country, the United States.

In addition, the show has also received positive reception from the audience and critics. It has gained 6.2 out of 10 on IMDb. The show has been a hit among its critics but received mixed responses from the audience. It gained 87% on the Tomatometer and 54% on the Popcornmeter. Meanwhile, on Metacritic, it has amassed 79 out of 100.

Netflix

Such a rating can play a huge role in renewing the series. While Netflix hasn’t revealed the series’ fate, there’s a high chance of Penelope Season 2. Mark Duplass told Indiewire that they have a fate on the Netflix algorithm. This is why he wants to make the streamer the show’s home. Duplass said that Penelope is a smaller series, and they haven’t spent millions promoting it.

That has left them wondering whether there will be any chance of a Penelope Season 2. However, the co-creator thinks that the Netflix algorithm can help them promote their show. It can bring their show to the top of the search results and become popular in the U.S. They have fate on Netflix, but the streamer hasn’t yet announced its decision.

Boss Talks About Penelope Season 2

While Netflix hasn’t yet renewed the show for the next season, Duplass believes their series is “un-cancellable.” He said he owned the show’s rights and was “the boss.” So, if a distributor doesn’t want to return with Penelope Season 2, they can still continue making the series as the show is self-financed. This means the decision is in their hands. Netflix has the rights to distribute the show for only two years.

In an interview, Duplass said that he’s the primary boss of the show, so he owns everything. He said that if Netflix didn’t renew Penelope Season 2, he could ship the show around and find who’s worthy of making a deal. There are ten places where he can distribute his show. So, if anyone on the platform decides to continue with the series, he can return with another season.

This is his plan, and he aims to return with more seasons. Duplass said, “I’ll find other buyers around. It’s much more work, but I think it’s worth it.” Netflix hasn’t yet renewed the series, but that won’t affect Duplass’s decision. He is ready to continue with the show.

According to reports, the co-creator is currently working on the second season. The show has already entered the writing phase. Although it hasn’t officially entered production, there are words that Duplass has started writing short stories that could play a part in Penelope Season 2.

Penelope Season 2 Cast: Who Will Join The Show?

Since the series is based on Penelope’s journey, she will return without any doubt. Thus, it’s safe to say that Megan Stott as Penelope will join Penelope Season 2. The series isn’t based on an ensemble cast. This means the second season will only focus on a few of the characters. If the show returns, we can expect to see more of Penelope’s Mom (played by Cynthia Geary). Austin Abrams as Sam, Krisha Fairchild as Helena, and Rhenzy Feliz as Peter can also return. Penelope’s dad (played by Barry O’Neil) can also make his guest appearance in the second season.

Netflix will soon make an official announcement. Thus, the Penelope Season 2 release date remains unclear. However, you don’t need to fret. Duplass has already shared that they have plans for the next season. This means the series will enter production as soon as the streaming giant announces its decision. It will only take four to five months to wrap up production. Considering this, we can expect Season 2 to be released in the fall of 2025. This is all for now.

Sweet Tooth Season 4: Boss Says There’s Future Beyond Final Season

After its debut, Netflix’s post-apocalyptic drama Sweet Tooth took the world by storm. However, with the series wrapping up the interesting saga of human-animal hybrid children with the third season, many are curious to know whether there will be more to this world. Could it return with Sweet Tooth Season 4 or a spin-off?

Many questions have been running through people’s minds, and series creator Jim Mickle is ready to answer them. Recently, the series creator shared some hints suggesting the show could return. So, without further ado, let’s head to know the show’s future.

Based on Jeff Lemire’s comic series, the show focuses on the aftermath of “The Great Crumble,” a viral pandemic that wiped out the world’s human population. After this event, hybrid babies with animal body parts and other characteristics roamed the world. Since many humans fear them, Gus, a part-deer hybrid, and other hybrid babies become their target, creating complications for Gus and others. As the series progresses, it explores the challenges these kids face to maintain a safe place to live.

Is Sweet Tooth Season 4 Renewed?

The third season debuted on June 6, 2024, and it’s been four months, but Netflix hasn’t yet announced the next run. Typically, the streaming giant announces the series’ fate within a few months. However, this isn’t the case with Sweet Tooth. That’s because the third season was already announced as the final series. Just a month before the third season premiere, the streamer announced the show would end with Season 3.

While the series has already been concluded, there’s hope for Sweet Tooth Season 4. In an interview with Screen Rant, the show’s creator, Jim Mickle, shared his plans for the next run. Mickle says he has talked with the streamer about returning with more Sweet Tooth-related content. He added that it would be very different from the current state of the show, as the fantasy world has already reached its natural conclusion.

So, bringing the series for another run could mean making some changes within the fantasy world while staying true to its source material. Mickle also said they have ideas of what Sweet Tooth Season 4 would look like.

Although it would be somewhat different from Jeff’s source material, it could perfectly fit in his world. The creator added that he has those plans and has been planning them for a while. However, the decision to return with Season 4 is in the audience’s and Netflix’s hands. But if you ask him, he’s happy to continue the series as long as possible.

Will There Be Sweet Tooth Season 4?

As mentioned above, the creator already has plans to return. However, the decision to renew is solely in Netflix’s and the audience’s hands. Interestingly, the series performed incredibly well on the platform. Shortly after the third season’s debut, it became a massive hit. Sweet Tooth reached Netflix’s Global Top Ten in 90 countries. It remained in the top ten for 4 weeks. But it isn’t the first time. The first two seasons of Sweet Tooth were also well-received and reached the global top ten within the first week of its debut.

Netflix

In addition, the series has maintained positive reviews over its run. Overall, the show received 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. The first season amassed a fresh 97% on the critic aggregator site, while the third season received 100% among critics and 79% approval reception among fans. This hints that there’s a chance for Sweet Tooth Season 4. There’s no denying that fans are curious to see more of Sweet Tooth, and this reception hints that the series can make it to four or more seasons.

What Could Happen In Sweet Tooth Season 4?

The third season has already wrapped up everything, leaving no room for Sweet Tooth Season 4. However, the showrunner Jim Mickle told CBR they could return with a new tale. The fourth season can focus on Old Man Gus, Becky, Big Man Jepperd, and the Alaskan alliance working together to take down evil Zhang. Gus burned down the magical tree in the third season after his mother, Birdie, died.

Now that Earth has withdrawn the Sick and left the hybrids to live on their own terms, a revival series can focus on the new challenges these hybrids face. Gus, his wife Wendy, and his family members are now living peacefully in Yellowstone, where they interact with other characters such as Theo. The fourth season can also focus on how the deaths of Pubba and Birdie could affect Gus.

Netflix

He will face some challenges dealing with such situations. On the other hand, with human civilization-ending, they will come up with another mission to hunt hybrids to find a cure for their disease. While the creator has revealed that things will change in the fourth season, comic creator Jeff Lemire has already concluded the source material by bringing a more aggressive Gus fighting against the humans to save his world.

He will use a hybrid army to kill those humans who try to break the borders. If the show returns with this storyline, it could focus on how Gus and the other hybrids work to save their home. However, it will also test his moral bearing and how his mother’s death affected him gravely.

It Could Return With A Spin-Off Series

There’s also a possibility that the show could return with a spin-off series. The three-season show focused on Gus and other hybrids’ struggle to survive. However, it hasn’t yet shared anything about Alaska and how Gus found the tree. So, there’s a chance the creator can return to narrate the Alaskan Saga, where Gus met the Snow Fox Girl, Nuka. This leads them to dig deeper into the hybrid children and how they are different from humans.

Netflix

The spin-off series can also focus on an evil cult that uses humans as experimental mice. This could delve deeper into the themes of genocide and colonization, ultimately opening a door for Nuka to become a Chosen One. It will focus more on the darker level of the show as it tells the tale of protection and sacrifice. Gus and Becky will work on strengthening their army and could also focus on how the battlefield makes things challenging for them.

Sweet Tooth Season 4 Release Date

The show hasn’t been announced yet. So, it remains unclear when the series will be released. However, the series creator has already confirmed that the show might return sooner or later. So, if it gets greenlit earlier in 2025, it will take almost a year to wrap up production. Considering this, we expect Sweet Tooth Season 4 to be released in the fall of 2026. This is all for now. TechRadar247 will keep you updated.
