The website’s statement reads, “Outer Range‘s plethora of subplots threatens to get sucked into a wormhole of ponderousness, but at least this sci-fi Western is anything but plain.” This might lead to a renewal, which wouldn’t be surprising given how the network has lately renewed a lot of its shows due to popular demand.

Is Outer Range renewed for Season 2?

Outer Range Season 2 is yet to be officially confirmed by Amazon Prime Video. The first season of Outer Range ended with the finale episode, The West, which was released on May 6, 2022. The episode is directed by Lawrence Trilling and written by Brian Watkins. 

Given that the series just ended last month, any news or updates about a potential second season renewal seem far too soon for any major network to make such important statements in such a short period of time. Fans should wait for Amazon Prime Video to formally verify and acknowledge this information. Before renewing the series for future seasons, the network may assess its performance and reception.

Moreover, Josh Brolin in conversation with The Hollywood Reporter when asked about any news on Outer Range Season 2, he said that “Who knows, man? I mean, truly. We make all this shit up after the fact.” He states, “If we continue this thing, what’s the relationship then with Imogen’s character, Autumn? Where did Amy go? Where did Perry, go? Will he come back? So it’s a great setup. Season One is a great, fun, wild setup.”

Further adding, “Like I said, it’s kind of taken on a life of its own, so things changed. When it first got set up at Amazon, Brian didn’t know a lot. He had an idea, but I think it was really based on those first two scripts for the first two episodes. And from then on, it got broken open by a plethora of people. So I think he had some really, really wonderful ideas that were opened up by a few people.”

Outer Range Season 2 Potential Release Date

Because the series has not been formally verified by the network, the prospective premiere date has yet to be acknowledged, and the status is neither here nor there. But if we have to predict the potential release date it might happen sometime around early to mid-2023. 

Just like the first season where the very first episode titled, The Void, aired on April 15, 2022. So, this is just speculation that the next season might follow the same pattern and release the season in a similar time frame for the viewers to watch the episodes if the network decides to continue and renew the series further.
