Rapman claims to have a three-season plot in mind for the program, but how is it doing on the ratings front thus far?
Netflix’s unexpected summer blockbuster, Supacell, has a second season planned. How well is the program doing to guarantee that it will receive a second season, and what do we currently know about where we might be headed? Let’s examine this.
The series is part of Netflix UK’s amazing 2024 run, which has seen the streaming service release hit after hit after success in the US due to production delays brought on by the two strikes that occurred in Hollywood last year. It’s been an amazing first half of the year, whether it’s because of the huge hits Baby Reindeer, Fool Me Once, or The Gentlemen.
So far, Supacell has received positive reviews from UK critics. As of right now, the show has a 100% rating on RottenTomatoes, and if things keep going this way, it might even get a Certified Fresh rating.
Notable voices in the UK have applauded it, and it’s also been commended for how it addresses topics pertaining to Black people and other communities. Rapman’s inbox has been overflowing with letters, and one topic he was eager to investigate was sickle cell illness.
What to anticipate if Supacell is renewed for a second season
According to Blex Media, the showrunner of the show appears to be interested in bringing the story to a second season. The finale was intended to be a “soap opera ending,” with the intention of carrying on the plot. In addition, Rapman revealed to the publication that he has three seasons of the program planned, describing the first as an origin tale a la Batman Begins.
Regarding the course of season 2, Rapman informed the publication that you’ll see the characters’ subsequent adventures after they’ve had their powers for some time. Rapman added that he intends to start production on a new film soon.
Of course, most plotlines were neatly wound up by the end of episode 6, but this allowed room for more in the future.
A few of the storylines we might see in season 2 are Michael’s mission to the future and how it helps him obtain information to stop The Organization, what becomes of Krazy in light of the shocking revelation that he is still alive, whether or not Sabrina’s sister will be saved in the end, and where in the world is Dionne?
Will Netflix continue with Supacell or end it?
With only one week’s worth of data, it’s a little too early to say whether Supacell will return for a second season, but the show has already started to check a number of boxes.
Netflix’s top 10s and various other sources allow us to monitor the show’s performance, which is a major factor in renewal decisions.
In the previously stated interview, Rapman said that it would ultimately depend on the numbers. He told Blex Media that he had no control over the decision, but he was optimistic because the interview was released following the announcement of the first set of figures and was gaining popularity across the globe. “It’s more likely that we’ll get a second season the more people watch it, right? Thus, you need to continue increasing the numbers. Continue sharing the word. Encourage someone who hasn’t seen it to do so.
To what extent has the show performed thus far? The first week of the show’s release saw it debut in the second position on the Netflix TV top 10s, just below the third season of Bridgerton. With 33.50 million hours viewed, the show garnered 6.4 million views.
We came to the conclusion that’s a pretty solid launch for a new Netflix show in our top 10 report covering its first week. It places it in the high echelon of 2024 Netflix releases, positioned between shows like Eric and A Man in Full but far behind shows like Griselda, The Gentlemen, and 3 Body Problem.
