Will there be a Supacell season 2? Speculation and news
Could there be another instalment of the sci-fi series?
In the world of sci-fi, it's not often that we get one-of-a-kind tales that put Black South Londoners front and centre.
So, it's safe to say that new release Supacell has been anticipated for quite some time now.
The first venture into the world of sci-fi TV from filmmaker and director Rapman, Supacell is a tale of what happens to ordinary people who find themselves having to navigate having extraordinary powers.
Starring the likes of Tosin Cole, The Responder's Adelayo Adedayo and The Rig's Calvin Demba, there's some stellar acting talent on board the new series - so it's inevitable that people will be wondering whether there will be any more of it.
But will there be a season 2 of Supacell? Read on to find out what we know so far.

Will there be a Supacell season 2?
As of now, Netflix has not announced a renewal of Supacell for season 2.
But the streamer usually bides its times with renewal news for new series, waiting to see audience reaction and viewing figures.
The streamer has been known to prematurely cancel some beloved new shows, though, so here's crossing our fingers for more!
Even so, series creator Rapman has teased that there are more ideas in the pipeline, saying of season 1: "For the beginning of the show, I always tell everyone that season 1 of Supacell to me is like Batman Begins. It's just beginning.
"You've got to see where it goes next to see who these people really are."
When could a potential Supacell season 2 release?
As Supacell season 2 has not yet been confirmed, there's no real idea on when a potential second instalment could be landing on our screens.
Seeing as the first season was filmed between July and December 2022, it could be a good turnaround between season 1 and a potential season 2.
Considering the filming process only took seven months, it's promising that it could be back on our screens in a speedy fashion - but then, considering the post-production meant season 1 wasn't released until mid-2024, it could be a little while yet.

Who could return for a potential Supacell season 2?
As for who would be returning for a possible second season, we'd hope to see all of the main cast back – with the potential for some new characters too, perhaps.
The Supacell cast that we'd expect to see in a potential season 2 would be as follows:
- Tosin Cole as Michael Lasaki
- Adelayo Adedayo as Dionne
- Yasmin Monet Prince as Veronica
- Eddie Marsan as Ray
- Nadine Mills as Sabrina
- Eric Kofi-Abrefa as Andre
- Calvin Demba as Rodney
- Josh Tedeku as Josh
- Rayxia Ojo as Sharleen
- Giacomo Mancini as Spud
- Michael Salami as Gabriel
- Travis Jay as John
What could a potential Supacell season 2 be about?
As for what a possible second season of Supacell could be about, the first season certainly left on quite the cliffhanger.
According to our very own RadioTimes.com review, the finale itself "delivers something truly delicious and breathtaking to watch, and leaves you wanting season 2 to arrive immediately".
So, it certainly leaves the door wide open for much more to be explored.
Season 1 focused on the impending prospect that Dionne (Adelayo Adedayo), Michael's (Tosin Cole) girlfriend, is going to die. As a result, Michael gets tested to the limit and develops superpowers along with four other Black South Londoners.
Throughout the series, we follow each of them as they grapple with their powers and their newfound paths in life, making for some pretty major twists and turns.
Speaking about his hopes for the series, the show's creator Rapman said: "I just want [viewers] to watch it to the end. And I want people to see what they think about all the twists and turns and how they felt afterward.
"I didn’t slave over the show for people to go to the halfway point and turn over and watch something else. Let’s hope that the world receives it well."
