Netflix’s latest series Territory has gone down a hit with viewers, with many comparing it to Yellowstone and Succession.

The six-part Australian epic kicks off with the death of Daniel Lawson, the heir to Marianne Station, the world’s largest (fictional) cattle ranch.

With a billion-dollar empire at stake, patriarch Colin Lawson must pick a new successor, while also fending off external parties, which includes rival ranchers, wealthy mining moguls and gangsters.

The tense fight for power draws to an explosive end in the season 1 finale, leaving fans wondering whether a second season could be on the cards.

So, are episodes on the way? And what's next for Marianne and the Lawsons?

Read on for everything you need to know about a potential Territory season 2.

Has Territory been renewed for season 2?

Netflix has yet to renew Territory for a second season.

The streamer is likely waiting to assess viewership numbers before deciding whether to invest in another chapter.

However, the show has all of the ingredients to be a big hit for the streamer, so watch this space for updates.

When could a potential Territory season 2 be released?

With no previous release schedule to go on, it's difficult to predict when Territory could return.

If season 2 does get the green light, we wouldn't expect new episodes to arrive until mid 2025 at least.

What could happen in a potential Territory season 2?

Colin now knows that Emily played an instrumental role in Daniel's death, which certainly isn't going to do her any favours. But she was trying to stop him from selling Marianne Station to mining magnate Sandra Kirby, so that could work in her favour.

And speaking of Sandra, the gold mine she reopened on Marianne was a cover for a far more dastardly plan involving radioactive waste, which she was planning to bury on Lawson land, which in turn would destroy the family's cattle empire.

Will they find a way to stop her? And what will they have to sacrifice in the process?

We've broken down the ending right here.

Who could return for a potential Territory season 2?

Following the death of Daniel Lawson (Jake Ryan) in the show's opening episode, Susie Lawson (Philippa Northeast) also died after being gored by a bull, and Rich Petrakis (Sam Delich) was shot dead by Colin Lawson, which rules them all out.

Campbell Miller (Jay Ryan) was also shot in the finale, but while we don't know his fate, we'd expect him to return.

And while Marshall (Sam Corlett) left Marianne Station at the end of season 1, he will undoubtedly be back if a renewal gets the thumbs up. But it remains to be seen if the love of his life Sharnie (Kylah Day) will be back.

As for the rest of the cast, we'd expect to see the following in a potential season 2:

  • Anna Torv as Emily Lawson
  • Michael Dorman as Graham Lawson
  • Robert Taylor as Colin Lawson
  • Clarence Ryan as Nolan Brannock
  • Hamilton Morris as Uncle Bryce
  • Sara Wiseman as Sandra Kirby
  • Joe Klocek as Lachie Kirkby
  • Dan Wyllie as Hank Hodge
  • Tuuli Narkle as Keeley Redford
  • Tyler Spencer as Dezi

And there's an opportunity for new characters to come in also.

Is there a trailer for a potential Territory season 2?

Without an official renewal, there's currently no trailer.

If it does get the nod, expect new footage to air in the month leading up to the premiere.

Territory is available to stream now on Netflix – sign up from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
