Carnival Row season 2 release schedule: When is episode 9 released?

The rich fantasy world and intriguing cast of characters has had viewers enthralled, but we've still got a couple more episodes before the very end.

Bloom plays former Inspector Rycroft 'Philo' Philostrate who, in season 1, was revealed to be half fae.

He recently spoke to RadioTimes.com about the series ending after two seasons – despite the original showrunners envisioning four instalments.

He said: "I think COVID really put the brakes on everything. It was jarring and so the thinking was, there was a lot of love for the show in season 1 – and certainly Amazon was super supportive – but really, we had so much footage that we were able to take this world and bring it to a conclusion in a really great way.

"And I love the idea of leaving people wanting more, rather than trying to wring the marrow out of everything."

Nevertheless, the actor remains super proud of the show and can't wait for fans to see the finale, adding: "It's a lot, it’s almost maybe a bit before its time. It's a tall order, but I think that, in season 2, all of the characters get a really well-rounded finale, and I'm really proud of the show."

How many episodes of Carnival Row season 2 are there?

Carnival Row season 2 will wrap up the show's story in 10 episodes.

Teasing what's to come, Bloom recently explained to RadioTimes.com: "What I wanted to explore is really the truth of what it would mean to a man who has hidden a huge aspect of who he is from the world. If you're somebody who has hidden this part of who you are, denied this part of who you are.

"That could be anything – like if he was a straight man desiring another man. You can mirror that in any way you like. But to me, it was such a phenomenal thing to unpack."

He added: "It's a lot, it’s almost maybe a bit before its time. It's a tall order, but I think that, in season 2, all of the characters get a really well-rounded finale, and I'm really proud of the show."
