Renewed Or Cancelled?
Washington Black is the latest historical drama on Hulu, successfully adapting the book sporting the same name and adding plenty of human drama to book. So after watching it in its entirety, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here's what we know:
What is Washington Black about?
Based on the book sporting the same name, the series follows the 19th century adventures of George Washington 'Wash' Black. This 11-year-old boy is forced to flee a Barbados sugar plantation after a gruesome death threatens to turn his life upside down.
We have ongoing coverage of Washington Black on the site including recaps of every episode. You can find those HERE!
Has Washington Black been renewed for season 2?
At the time of writing, Washington Black has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Hulu would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made.
So far, Murderbot has had a really good reaction from critics and audiences alike, with many commenting (including ourselves) that the plot and humour both work really well together.
Given the way this show is set up, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a second season. The series does have plenty of potential and the ending certainly leaves the door open for more drama to follow.
However, we could be completely wrong, given Hulu don't always renew every show, so take our prediction with a pinch of salt!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 2 at this point as Hulu haven't officially renewed this one. Should it be renewed, we have some big questions.
The final episode sees Wash and Tanna leaving Dahomey with their new-born daughter, whom they have named Nawi. As they leave in the airship, they discuss further adventures which could hint at a direction the show will take in the future.
Interestingly, we also see Nawi as a young girl in the arms of her parents, which could be a good lead-in for where the story goes next.
It seems unlikely but if this series is renewed, we'd expect it to be green-lit with another 8 episode order, and bring back a lot of the old cast too.
