Will we see more of this epic period mystery-horror drama series? Continue reading to learn more about 1899 Season 2.
If you recall this quote by Maura Franklin, “They’re all running away from something. Why else would someone want to go somewhere different?” then there is definitely a lot to look forward to in this series. As the first season ends on a potentially explorable storyline, this has led to much speculation among the viewers about whether the show will get an early renewal or not. Given how the network has recently renewed a slew of shows, there is a chance it might expand its catalog of original movies and shows.
Additionally, on Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds a 75% approval rating based on 12 reviews, with an average rating of 7.20/10. On Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, the series has a score of 66 out of 100 based on eight critic reviews, indicating “generally favorable reviews.” These ratings alone are remarkable, which might lead to a renewal for the second season much sooner than you anticipated. So, if you’re wondering the same thing, then you’ve come to the right place.
We’ve compiled a summary of everything you need to know about the current status of the series. Here’s everything we know about Netflix’s 1899 Season 2.
Is 1899 Season 2 renewed by Netflix?
As of November 2022, the network has yet to announce the second season of 1899 formally. Given that the show just finished its first season a few hours ago, any news or updates about a potential second-season renewal seem far too soon for any major network to make such significant statements in such a short period of time.
Hence, in the meantime, fans should wait for Netflix to formally verify and acknowledge this information in the coming days. As we understand your anticipation of knowing what’s next in the tale, you should know that the network may assess its performance and reception before renewing the series for future seasons. Take a look at some of the tweets by the fans demanding the renewal of the series below:

I finished 1899 today and I definitely need a season 2. You can't leave it on a cliffhanger there. There's so much more story and paths to explore not to mention backstory. This has definitely filled my sci-fi TV need for a while since Squid Game #1899Netflix

This is the first time I've seen a TV show after a long time without my mind drifting off. I've so much respect for jantje friese and baran bo odar. Both have changed the way one sees such series. First dark and now 1899, epitome of perfection I'd say. Can't wait for season 2. ❤️
