We’d likely see Dana try to rescue her husband while also discovering her family’s complicated relationship with Rufus Weylin, the child she rescued during her first trip to the antebellum South. Season 1 explored the first three chapters of the novel, so it’s possible that a second season would start with the fourth chapter, “The Flight.” In this chapter, Dana is in modern-day Los Angeles while her husband, Kevin, has time traveled to 19th-century Maryland. Give Me the Deets-What Will Season 2 Be About? I’m not that good at math, but even I can tell that a second season won’t be coming out until late next year at the absolute earliest. Production on season 1 ended in January 2022, and the show just premiered last December. If Kindred is picked up for a second season, it might be a while before it premieres. More than 35 years after its release, Kindred continues to draw in new readers with its deep exploration of the violence and loss of humanity caused by slavery in the United States, and its complex and lasting impact on the present day. Plus, the show has a built-in audience, so its popularity is damn near guaranteed. Butler’s bestselling literary science-fiction masterpiece, Kindred, now in graphic novel format.

Showtime, you answered our prayers with renewing Minx, so what’s one more TV show to add? Netflix’s queue is lookin’ kinda empty after it canceled Fate: Winx Saga, Partner Track, and a host of other TV series, so surely it can invest in Kindred.

Considering showrunner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins already has plans for a season 2 and more, it’s likely that he’ll shop the series to other networks. This might not be the end for the series, however. Like, when was the last time an FX show got canceled after one season? Even Deadline reports that FX “is known for carefully curating its slate and taking time to develop projects, sometimes redoing a pilot, and most of its shows stick around for a while.” But maybe the network is taking inspo from streamers Netflix and Peacock. Honestly, this cancellation is kind of unprecedented for FX. The universe must hate me or something because Kindred was just canceled. Will There Be a Second Season of Kindred? Because surely the show has been renewed, right? Luckily, I did some sleuthing and found all the deets on Kindred season 2. But now that the season has ended-on a huge cliff-hanger too-I know Butler’s fans (including me) are wondering when the second season is coming out.

The acting? The characters? The storylines? It’s everything my teenage self could ask for and more. Butler’s Kindredinto a series, and baby, it did not disappoint. Hulu has answered my prayers (or maybe they just got tired of me relentlessly emailing them, but whatevs): They *finally* adapted Octavia E.
