Note: Kindred Season 2 has been officially cancelled by the FX network on Hulu.
The Fx series Kindred is the TV debut of the esteemed novel of 1979, December 13th. Kindred is focused on a historical science fiction-themed story where Dana (Mallori Johnson), a young and talented writer, travels to Los Angeles, and there begins the mystery of her time travel.
The show’s creator ” Brandon Jacobs Jenkins” says that he is already thinking about seasons two, three, and four as the novel has lots to tell. They want to grasp the audience’s attention and portray it well. The first season is only a small snippet, according to him.
They still need a green light from Fx to begin with, season 2, so we do not know the exact dates of the release of the upcoming season. It has been available on Hulu since December 13th and has been through good ratings. The first season ends with a hell of a cliffhanger. This sure makes the viewers question the next season’s plot and release dates!
Kindred Is cancelled for the new season.
When we wrote about Kindred Season 2 at that time, everyone was predicting that Kindred would be renewed for the next season. But then, on 2nd February, FX network officially announced that they had cancelled season 2.
Well, it’s not happening for the first time, as the hit show has been cancelled before as well.
Before it happened with HBO MAX’s Minx and further, HBOM cancelled Minx. Because of this, Minx was later continued by the Starz network.
So, don’t lose hope, as there is still a chance for Netflix or any other network to save Kindred Season 2!
Kindred Season 2 Release Date
The showrunner has not released any official statement regarding the new season’s release date. The show premiered on Dec 13th on the Hulu streaming platform, and since then, it has kept viewers hooked on the time travel loop.
In writing, the show wasn’t renewed, but this shouldn’t concern the fans as it was released recently and has potential dates for its next season. The ratings and number of views play a major role in Fx deciding whether they will bring back another season. A new season is anticipated as the novel has much to unravel, and the creator also wants to follow up with the source material.
The creator said that the first season shoot started on January 22 and was released on Dec 22, so the next season can follow a similar course of work and may be released at the end of 2023 if Fx gives a good-to-go sign. The new season is believed to begin with chapter 4 of Butler’s novel.
Where Can You Watch it?
The drama series is available for viewers on Hulu as of now. It is not being aired on other platforms that ethically release the show. However, some other sites do offer show streaming, but these are quite unethical and pirated ways that we do not support or consider.
Fans can easily buy a suitable subscription from Hulu and start with their favorite shows and movies. It is affordable, and the shows are available in HD. Fx may take several weeks to announce any news related to the second season, or we have to wait till the official news is posted on Twitter.
