Is Netflix going to renew its supernatural horror series Spectros? Here is everything we know about release dates, storylines, and cast information for Spectros season 2. Written and show-run by Douglas Petrie, Spectros follows a group of teens who find themselves at the center of a ghostly debacle when they steal a haunted porcelain doll. Season one appeared on Netflix the 20th of February 2020.
A Brazilian show, Spectros is set in the Liberdade district. When ghosts begin to appear among the living, it is up to teenagers Mila (Cláudia Okuno), Carla (Mariana Sena), Pardal (Danilo Mesquita), Léo (Enzo Baron), and Zeka (Drop Dashi) to find out why it’s happening, and how to stop it.
In its season one finale, Spectros brings its characters together for a graveyard showdown. The teens find themselves surrounded on all fronts: an army of ghosts advance on them as the witch Zenóbia (Miwa Yanagizawa) and the Necromancer (Norival Rizzo) demand they hand over the doll. The protagonists decide instead to destroy the doll, freeing the spirit within, and forever linking the land of the living to the land of the dead.
Spectros Season 2 Release Date Info
There are no official plans to renew yet for Spectros season 2. Netflix is hit-or-miss when it comes to renewing its horror series for second seasons. While spectral drama The Haunting Of Hill House season two has already wrapped up its filming and occult horror The Order is confirmed for a second season, the French language Marianne was canceled after one season.
Spectros is as of yet unrated on Rotten Tomatoes, but it holds a dismal 4.8 stars on IMDB. However, it has generated reasonably positive buzz on Twitter by fans of the show. It is not yet clear if its unique cultural blend of Japanese Shinto ghosts and Brazilian witchcraft will be enough to pull it through. If it were to get renewed, Spectros season 2 would likely be coming out sometime in early 2021.
Spectros Season 2 Story Details
Spectros season 2 would have plenty to build off. As Mila iterates in the finale, there are now spirits in Liberdade permanently, many of whom might seek out revenge on the main characters. Spectros season 2 could focus on Mila, Carla, Pardal, and Léo’s interactions with these. The Bride, the ghost of a princess whose ashes turned the haunted porcelain doll into a link between life and death, is now free, something Spectros season 2 could grapple with the implications of; the status quo between the living and the dead is permanently changed.
Spectros season 2 could also focus on Carla’s relationship with her mother. Although Carla forms a found family with Mila, Pardal, and Léo, she’s the only teen left in Spectros season 2 who isn’t an orphan. Her mother tells her not to come back, but Carla never really confronts her feelings about this parental figure that failed her by the time the first season wraps up.
Spectros Season 2 Cast
Okuno, Sena, Mesquita, and Barone play the core characters so they would almost certainly come back for Spectros season 2 and likely be at the center of the story. Even the one member of their gang who doesn’t survive the first season, Zeka, manages to reach out to Carla in the finale, so audiences might not have seen the last of Dashi. Zenóbia’s fate is left ambiguous at the end of the finale: audiences know she will age and die without the ashes but as it doesn’t happen onscreen, it leaves room for Spectros season 2 to still make use of Yanagizawa. Although the death of Mila’s father Celso (Carlos Takeshi) seems pretty final in the finale, Spectros is a show about a diminishing barrier between the living and the dead, so it is unclear exactly how finalizing it really is. Spectros season 2 would explore questions like these and more in the event Netflix decides to greenlight a second season of this Latin American horror tale.
