Has Under a Dark Sun been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Renewed or Cancelled?
Under a Dark Sun is the latest murder mystery thriller on Netflix, armed with a twisty-turny story, compelling characters and 6 episodes of drama. Having watched the first season in its entirety, you may be wondering if this one has been renewed or cancelled. Well, wonder no more!
What is Under a Dark Sun about?
Under a Dark Sun is set in the idyllic flower fields of Provence. Alba Mazier, a young single mother with a criminal record, takes a job on a rural farm run by the wealthy Lasserre family. When the patriarch, Arnaud Lasserre, is found murdered, Alba becomes the prime suspect—especially after it's revealed that Arnaud secretly changed his will to include her.
As the investigation unfolds, shocking truths come to light and it seems there's more than one secret in this family that threatens to spill out at any moment.
We have ongoing coverage of Under a Dark Sun on the site, including recaps for every episode. You can find those HERE!
Has Under a Dark Sun been renewed for Season 2?
At the time of writing, Under a Dark Sun has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Netflix 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, Under a Dark Sun has had a pretty good reaction online from audiences and critics alike.
Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we're predicting that this will not be renewed for a second season. The ending is actually quite conclusive and unless the tone changes dramatically into more soapy waters, there's not much in the way of a mystery left to uncover.
Having said that, we do also know that completion rate is a massive metric for these streamers so that could play a pivotal role here. For now, we'll have to wait and see what happens!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about Under a Dark Sun season 2 at this point given Netflix haven't officially renewed or cancelled this one. Given the first season's conclusion, it does seem like it could be brought back for more interpersonal drama but that does seem like a long shot
The show ends the main case but does leave things open for a potential sequel, especially with Nadia's return that looks set to shake things up. If this is green-lit for another season, expect another 6 episodes and most of the main cast and crew to return.
We will update this page when more information becomes available, so be sure to check this page out in the near future.
