Netflix recently released the fourth season of the Turkish drama- The Protector. After this, fans have been thinking if Netflix would bring more of it. Will The Protector Season 5 return? The Turkish drama first surfaced in 2018 on Netflix and was well received. Then Netflix commissioned it for more episodes that released in 2019, followed by a third season on June 10, 2019. The latest episode, the fourth season released this July 9. Ever since this happened, fans have been looking forward to more. What’s the future for the show? Will The Protector Season 5 ever happen? Here are all the details- 

Is The Protector Season 5 Coming?

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Netflix would bring more of The Protector. There will not be any The Protector Season 5. In a recent announcement, the streaming service revealed that for their first Turkish drama, the fourth season would be the last season. They billed the season by saying that the struggle is ending. Now, it’s either past that will win or future. If this announcement sounds so cryptical, its because there won’t be any The Protector Season 5, as confirmed by a number of news outlets. The fourth season of the series released this July 9. 

About The Show

The fantasy series- The Protector revolves around a young shopkeeper- Hakan, whose world changes when he comes to know that he is connected to a secret, ancient order. He is the one who will have to protect Istanbul. Initially, in the story, Hakan looks like an ordinary guy in the city with a population of about 15 million. Eventually, he learns that his hometown is under danger from some mystical Immortals, and he has to stop them all. It’s a task he isn’t prepared for and even tries to resist. 

How Was The Fourth Season?

Netflix has released the fourth season of The Protector. Since it is the last season, we quite feel that it is important to give homage to all other seasons of the show. When we first met Hakan, he was just a shopkeeper and a part-time con artist. Eventually, things change in his life after his father dies. After that, Hakan meets Loyal Ones, Kemal, and Zeynep. These Loyal Ones are associated with a historical secret order which is responsible for shielding their town from the immortals. Hakan is himself a Protector who can kill the Immortals and stop destruction using the talismanic shirt that gives him mystic powers. The main Immortal is Faysal Erdem, who wanted to bring back his now lifeless lover Ruya using Hakan’s blood. 

In the last season, there were many clues from start to finish. The uncommon fantasy exhibits came to a smart ending that completed the series. Over the seasons, all viewers have witnessed Hakam and Zeynep’s closeness. At first, it was all very complicated when Zeynep had to take the Immortal “treatment,” which proved that she was still loyal to Immortals. She had killed Burak, with who she had an affair earlier. Zeynep’s murder spree went for long, and she became the hero. In the fourth season, we saw Hakan and Zeynep handling everything nicely by the end. Zeynep became the professor, and Hakan went back to work. 

The fourth season featured the dual stories with many past and present scenes from the Ottoman Empire from 1459 to the current day. The story was great and felt oriented. The fourth season did justice to all the villains by making them look like misplaced souls and not senseless villains. Fans seem to be quite happy with the show. Keeping in mind the kind of reviews and viewership The Protector was able to bag, we can expect that Netflix will bring more Turkish shows in the upcoming future. 

Unfortunately, Netflix hasn’t renewed Always A Witch Season 3 yet. However, the streamer hasn’t canceled it too. Hopefully, soon, the streamer would break the silence on the third season of the series. The first season, ordered as direct-to-series, aired on January 1, 2019, following the second season’s renewal. The second season soon aired on Netflix on February 28, 2020. Although, the series created in the Spanish language, which was dubbed on Netflix.

Always A Witch, created by Ana Maria Parra, is a fantasy romantic comedy-drama series on Netflix. It follows Carmen Eguilez (Angely Gaviria), a witch from 1646. The series set in both 1646 and present-day Cartagena, Colombia. In which, Carmen is charged for performing witchcraft. According to the 17-century colonial Colombia rules, she is sentenced to death by burning at stake. While waiting for her punishment, she made a deal with Aldemar (Luis Fernando Hoyos), an immortal and powerful wizard. Aldemar sends Carmen in 2019 by time-traveling in the future where nobody believes in witches and witchcraft. But in return, Carmen can’t use her magic there.

Always A Witch Season 3: Renewal Status!

On February 28, 2020, Always A Witch Season 2 aired on Netflix. However, the series has collected mixed reviews from the critics. Many praised the concept and having a strong black female lead character in the series. Meanwhile, some have criticized the romance between slave and slave master, including the lead actress keenness to return as a slave in the 17-century. So, she can be with her white American slave master boyfriend.

It reflected in the audience response as well, since the second season gained 6.3 ratings on IMDb. So would it be a reason that Netflix rethinking the series for its third chapter? Generally, Netflix takes a couple of months to decide the future of the show. However, the streamer hasn’t renewed Always A Witch Season 3 yet. But, we can expect that soon the streamer would break their silence on the series’ future.

Always A Witch Season 3: What To Expect?

After surviving from the cruel slavery world in the 17-century, Carmen struggled with dishonesty and betrayal in the present world. In the previous season, Carmen becomes more powerful and started living an independent life. The 19-year-old Afro-Colombian girl soon adapts to the modern world. Later, she joins the college and makes new friends there. They are far different from what she had in the 17-century.

Though she is independent now and has started a new life, she’s still a witch, which soon put her in trouble. However, it helped her gain more power as she was determined to rescue her mother from the slavery world. She travels back in time and successfully rescued her mother from there. While returning in present-day, Cristobal De Aranoa (Lenard Vanderaa) her slave master’s son and lover followed her in the 21-century.

However, when he realized her persona is changed and everyone supports her there, he started asking to return in their time where everything was more comfortable. Will Carmen returns with Cristobol to reunite their love? Or will she select the freedom she’s having now?

Show Creator Jannik Tai Mosholt Speaks About The Upcoming Installment- 

In an interview with NME, showrunners Christian Potalivo and Jannik Tai Mosholt revealed that the show has many real-life references, and fears around climate change influence the way the show is created.

They don’t have the snow they used to have before. He went on to say that now they are witnessing the effects of climate change that have started happening. 

The Rain Season 3: What’s Coming Next?

The third season will serve as the finale season of The Rain. So, fans can expect to see all the fears play out to extreme measures. In the second season of the show, Rasmus was captured, so the third season of the show would focus on how his allies would rescue him and what Apollon really wants with him. Sten explained that they never considered curing Rasmus. They were planning to make the virus make of them. In the second season, Simone also tried to kill her brother; it will be a very awkward conversation when they come face to face. Sarah has also caught the same infection, and that’s something the third season will address. 

Not just that, Kira also worked undercover at Apollon in the second season. There are many questions about her and what her role will be in the next season. The Fallout Gun and all other electromagnetic items that Patrick fell upon are under a big question. What was the group trying to use it for? Not just this, the third season would also address many other cliffhangers, but it will also bring all loose ends from the entire to close. Will the virus destroy everything, or will someone stop it?

Netflix has been pitching many social topics to add up in their collection. That includes series like One Day at a Time, the Party of Five reboot, and Living Undocumented. One of them is Stateless. The show recently released on Netflix. It takes on the immigration issues globally.

Inspired by the true story of Cornelia Rau, a German-Australian resident who was unjustly detained in an immigration detention center for about ten months in 2004-2005. Netflix has not yet renewed the show, but all fans are hopeful that the show would come for Stateless Season 2. The producers of the show have also hinted at a possible Stateless Season 2. Here are all the details- 

Executive Producer Speaks About The Future Of The Show

Technically, the show was created to be a miniseries, but it could come back and tell many other international stories. In an interview with Deadline, the co-executive producer of Stateless said that the show was definitely meant to be a single series. However, the migration issues had deepened and become more complicated and political since 2013 when they started working on the show. However, she does feel that the series concluded quite open-endedly. Cate Blanchett added that something that is more important to them is that the stories start conversations. They haven’t yet thought if they will be working on Stateless Season 2 or not. This statement does not confirm if they will make it or not. However, we can still be hopeful. 

What Could Happen In Stateless Season 2? 

Immigration is an issue that has been raising increasing urgent attention. So, it seems possible that Blanchett and her team would try and tell stories other than that of Rau. They could include the much famous Alejandra Barrera, who faced mistreatment because of being a transgender woman in the U.S. ICE detention center. They could even choose to stick to many other international issues. 

In an interview with Variety, Tony Ayres, the co-creator of the show, says that he feels that the show is about the contradictions of trying to preserve their borders and the difficulty of trying to curate perfect humane policy. He thinks that immigration is a global issue, and every country is trying to find a way to deal with that. He added that at the moment, they are looking at the Australian setting, but they want it to be a starting point for the broader conversation in the most humane way possible. 

The show surfaced only a few days ago. As of now, we are assuming that Netflix is still analyzing the viewership figures of Stateless. About what could come up, that will be entirely creators’ decision. We are looking forward to hearing from Netflix about the next installment. We will keep updating this space with all the new information as we get that. So, stay tuned.

Hannibal started airing on NBC on April 4, 2013. However, after successfully running three seasons, NBC canceled the series for the fourth chapter. But, the series creator and cast were hoping to return with Hannibal Season 4 for long. And in May, Netflix announced that all three seasons are available on the streaming platform. The streaming giant also gave hope to all the cast and crew members for its next run. That it could be possible that Netflix would renew the show. Further, showrunner Bryan Fuller revealed the details about the fourth season. Now, let’s see how he’s going to portray everything.

Hannibal, created by Bryan Fuller, is a psychological-horror crime thriller drama series. It’s based on Thomas Harris’s novels Red Dragon (1981) and some elements from its other books, also titled Hannibal (1999) and Hannibal Rising (2006). It follows the bond between forensic psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and FBI special investigator Will Graham (Hugh Dancy). FBI Behavioral Sciences head Jack Crawford recruited Will to investigate the brutal crime in Minnesota. However, Will’s unsuccessful attempts made Jack appoint Dr. Hannibal to supervise him in his mission. Initially, Hannibal tries to misguide him to hide his cannibal identity. However, the bond they build made him take some strong actions.

Hannibal Season 4: Showrunner Hoping To Return

In May, Netflix brought the award-winning psychological thriller drama series back. Hannibal was one of the critically-acclaimed series, which had won many awards for its outstanding execution and performance. But, because of its declining viewership, NBC decided to wrap up the show.

However, the show creator Bryan didn’t wanted it to end like this. In these five years, he was trying to bring the series back. Many campaigns were also started, but nothing fruitful had happened. However, Netflix’s recent action declared that it was worth waiting.

In an interview, Fuller expressed his excitement for the fourth season. He even spoke with his team members about the fourth season’s storyline. Fuller already got the rights of Silence of the Lamb novel but never got a chance to portray it. However, he expressed that he would try his best in the upcoming season, if the entire cast is ready to come back.

Fuller said: “The great thing about the ideas that I shared with members of the cast in terms of where we’re going is that if it takes five years if everyone is interested in coming back. That’s just how long they’ve been on the lam. And the story will pick up from there, and we’ll adapt.”

Twisted Bond Between Will And Hannibal

Recently Fuller confirmed that the series would explore Hannibal’s love for Will. Though Will Graham is a heterosexual in the series, yet Hannibal’s control over him is something he couldn’t resist. Further, Hannibal Lecter is confirmed as pansexual. However, they want to try some way to represent their story in a unique and different style.

The creator revealed that the writing team is ready to adapt the story from Silence of the Lamb, which they wanted for so long to do. But, how they will showcase the story is quite challenging. Since in the last season finale Will and Hannibal jump of the cliff. So, now what happens next is quite interesting to watch.

Fuller stated: “I think Will Graham is a heterosexual character, but sexuality is fluid. I think it would have to be a conversation where we would sit down and try to find the most authentic expression of their relationship now.”

He added: “Because of the nature of what would be happening in season 4. In terms of the grander manipulations that Hannibal has on Will’s mind. I don’t think Hannibal would want to have sex with Will. If Will wasn’t in his right mind. And Will won’t be in his right mind in season 4.”
