Netflix, one of the best streaming serviceshas officially renewed “Supacell” for season 2. This dark and gritty superhero series became a hit on the streamer when it was released in late June, and it soon the Netflix Top 10 crashed with perfect 100% on Rotten tomatoes.
Supacell is about a group of five ordinary black people who suddenly develop superpowers. Now they must overcome the challenges of their new abilities while also dealing with the realities of their everyday lives. Only one man can bring them together, and he is already on a mission to protect the woman he loves from a very dangerous organization.
Details about the next season are scarce, but the show’s creator, Rapman, gave some insight when speaking to Netflix Tudum: “I always had it planned up until season three. I know how season two ends. I have things planned for that story. I’ve had this in my head for years, so I’m ready to go.”
He also said: “The first season of Supacell is my Batman Begins. It’s a prequel to what they’re going to be like. Then in season two you really see what they become. The future that you saw in London at the end of the pilot, that future no longer exists. They’ve changed everything. It’s going to be interesting when we get into the writers’ room.”
What is season 2 of “Supacell” about?
With the announcement of Season 2, no plot details have been revealed yet, but we can make an educated guess based on what happened at the end of Season 1. Of course, you should know that we Spoiler area.
Season 1 of Supacell ends with the death of ruthless gang leader Krazy (Ghetts). However, the real antagonists are only revealed after the credits. It turns out that Krazy was under the influence of Ray (Eddie Marsan), a mysterious figure who had been secretly observing the series’ superheroes. In a surprising twist, Victoria (Sian Brooke) is revealed to be the mastermind behind the whole thing and warns a shaken Ray that he has let her down too.
Following Dionne’s (Adelayo Adedayo) tragic death, the same post-credits scene delves deeper into the organization’s operations. We see Ray walk past several super-powered prisoners, including Sabrina’s (Nadine Mills) long-missing sister Sharleen (Rayxia Ojo). This suggests that Season 2 could bring more to light about the others involved and reveal other familiar characters with ties to the organization. This entire scenario sets the stage for an exciting Season 2.
Rapman also explained that we may see a darker side of protagonist Michael (Tosin Cole), considering he lost the love of his life: “You can have the nicest person in the world. You push that person too far and that person has extraordinary powers? Then something very dangerous could arise.”
Details about the second season of “Supacell” will be announced in the coming months. But for now, watch the first season again on Netflix? You can also check out our leaderboard on the Top 100 Superhero Movies.
