Netflix has announced the renewal of the superhero series Supacell for a second season.
Following the six-episode first season, which premiered in June 2024, the streaming site announced on Tuesday, August 13, that a second season is in production.
"Tell your mother of Season 2! It is official: Supacell will return."
In terms of viewership, the show topped the Netflix Top 10 English language TV charts for six weeks after its premiere. The show received 11.8 million views in its first week, followed by 7.1 million in the second week.
Directed by Andrew Onwubolu, aka Rapman, Supacell follows a group of five Londoners who begin to develop mysterious powers.
They have little in common except for one thing: they are all Black South Londoners unified by a family history of sickle cell disease. It’s down to one man to bring them all together to save the woman he loves.
In a statement to Tudum, the showrunner and director, Rapman, said Supacell was already planned for subsequent seasons.
“I’ve always had it [mapped out] to Season 3. I know how Season 2 ends. I’ve got stuff planned for this story. I’ve had this in my head for years, so I’m ready to go," he said.
