Get ready to be pulled in! The science fiction series Kindred has captivated the audience with its stunning characters and intriguing storyline. The show follows the story of Dana, who relocated to Los Angeles to live closer to the only family member left in her life, Aunt Denise. But her life turns twisted when she’s dragged back into the 19th century in the Antebellum South.
The performance of the lead characters is praiseworthy. Since the release of the initial season, the show’s audience has been wondering whether there will be a Kindred season 2. The show’s audience believed they got to watch something new and fresh in Kindred.
What’s more important is that the show concluded on a cliffhanger. Leaving the audience like that builds up curiosity for another season. In that case, let’s jump right into the updates!
Is ‘Kindred’ Season 2 Happening?
Dana’s journey has already come to an end! You must be shocked. We understand that because even we were surprised that this incredible series is short-lived. The streaming network FX has already canceled the show. Kindred season 2 is not going to happen on FX.
A media outlet pointed towards the cancellation of Kindred and confirmed that FX carefully creates its shows and takes a lot of time to develop a perfect series. Most shows on the streaming platform stick around for a longer time.
But in the case of Kindred, the tables have turned. It’s pretty rare for FX to cancel a show right after the initial season. But it’s not over yet. There have been more updates regarding the future of Kindred.
Kindred Is Mostly Looking For A New Home:
Showrunner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins did reveal their plans for a second season of Kindred. Branden also noted they might look for another streaming network to release their new season. He also confirmed that the team is planning for around four seasons.
He revealed, “The writers and I are working very hard on the plans for Season Two. We have a lot planned for Season Two, Season Three, and Season Four… I always encourage people to read the book, though if you don’t want to spoil it for yourself, definitely don’t keep reading. But yes, there are plans for season two. Big dreams.”
We hope that another streaming network picks up the show. On a second season, Jacobs-Jenkins revealed that they want to create seasons for all books. He also revealed that they want to get through the entire story of Kindred.
He said, “Yes, of course. We want to make all of the book seasons as long as they [FX] have us. But we want to make sure we get through the story because if anyone knows the book, it’s just now getting good, right?”
If you didn’t know, the movie is based on Octavia E. Butler’s novel. Since the release, the feedback from the audience has been positive.
What To Expect From ‘Kindred’ Season 2 If It Happens?
A lot! If you watched the first season of Kindred, you already know it ended on a massive cliffhanger making everyone curious. If the show is picked up by another network [hopefully], then we will see the journey of Dana. The second season will likely focus on ‘Chapter 4: The Fight’ of the Book.
The showrunner also revealed, “In this first season, we cover only about a third of the book’s material. And I think part of the attack on the book is to see if we can expand the universe and occupy these quite small rooms in the book.”
Jacobs-Jenkins then added that the show might get around three to four seasons. He said, “could yield you about three to four seasons. Adding, “But I think we’re working hard to lay in some engine that might take us beyond that and put some kind of pressure on what’s there. That’s the dream.”
By all of the statements by the Kindred team, they are certainly all in for more seasons. That’s good to know, right?
Conclusion:
Once Kindred finds a new network, production will begin. We are being hopeful for the making of more seasons in the future. It won’t be the first time another network picks up a canceled show. It would be great for the audience if they get to watch the entire journey of Dana.
We do know one thing for sure, it will be a roller coaster ride! If another network picks up the show, we will keep you posted. In the meantime, feel free to speculate on the second season’s story in the comment section below.
