Good news alert: Netflix has renewed Supacell, their acclaimed superhero show for season 2. More below.
Supacell, Rapman’s ambitious superhero show set in South London, is coming back for more. Netflix has renewed the British series for season 2 and delivered the news by posting on X (formerly Twitter).
The series focused on a group of five Black people, all of whom share a family history of sickle cell disease. As they develop surprising superpowers, they’re pursued by a shady secret organisation. The series has received critical acclaim and currently sits at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The news is particularly impressive taking into account Netflix’s habit of cancelling their shows after one season. Then again, Supacell proved to be a chart juggernaut almost immediately, occupying the Netflix top 10 chart in 91 countries, as well as sticking around on the global top 10 list for six weeks.
Tosin Cole, Jessica Magaye, Ricardo McCleary-Campbell, Saraphina Mattis, Melissa Simon-Hartman, Cleo Young and Micheal Ademilua all starred in the series and we have no reason to believe they won’t reprise their roles in season 2.
“I can’t wait for the world to see Supacell, Season 2. For me season 1 was always an origin story. Season 2 is when the journey really begins. Season 1 was my Batman Begins, Season 2 is my Dark Knight,” creator Rapman said in a press release.
We like the sound of that. More on Supacell season 2 when we hear it.
