Millarworld has formally kicked off on Netflix with the discharge of Jupiter’s Legacy and whereas there’s loads to sit up for from the Millarworld universe sooner or later, will we be heading again with Utopian and the gang for season 2? Right here’s what we all know.
Early critiques counsel the present is getting off to a comparatively combined begin which shouldn’t be all too stunning provided that it was negatively affected by the pandemic, a change in showrunner, and a few reshoots which occurred earlier this yr.
With that mentioned, the 8-episode superhero series is out now and in case you’re all finished, let’s dig into season 2.
Has Netflix renewed Jupiter’s Legacy for season 2?
Earlier within the week main as much as the discharge of Jupiter’s Legacy we put out a report saying that the present has been given a renewal based mostly on the feedback of Mark Millar to the Scottish publication, Herald Scotland.
Talking about the way forward for Millarworld on Netflix, Millar mentioned: “Subsequent yr there can be Jupiter season two. There can be The Magic Order, a horror present, and a giant spy venture,”
That advised us that season 2 was renewed and deliberate for subsequent yr (whether or not that meant to be launched or simply in manufacturing is unclear), nonetheless, that seems to not the be case. As we have been corrected quickly after publishing that publish, it merely is the present intention for the present assuming it will get a renewal.

That is backed up from an interview with Deadline on Could sixth with Millar saying:
“Season 2 is as much as the viewers. We don’t wish to get too cocky. All I see is we’re going into this extremely bullish. We really feel nice about it. I’ve watched, even over Covid, I sat in edits every single day just about and I by no means tire of it. So, fingers crossed folks adore it as a lot as we do.”
We’re anticipating to listen to on the way forward for Jupiter’s Legacy a month or so from Could seventh as soon as Netflix has sufficient knowledge. Given the present ends on a cliffhanger (extra on this in a second) and the general scope of Millarworld and the way Jupiter’s Legacy matches in, something aside from a renewal can be seen as a damning begin for the brand new superhero universe on Netflix.
We’ll be updating this publish over time as and after we get Netflix’s high 10 knowledge by means of plus different numerous third-party numbers of how properly the present is doing additionally.
Who will return in season 2 of Jupiter’s Legacy?

Except Raikou (performed by Anna Akana) we must always see the return of all of our heroes seen in season 1.
Within the comics, a lot of new heroes and villains have been launched all through and we might see a few of these head over too together with the likes of Twister, Neutrino, Shockwave, Gentle Lady, the Wooden King, Automaton, Jack Frost and Tattoo.
What to anticipate from Jupiter’s Legacy season 2
Warning: spoilers for the tip of season 1 of Jupiter’s Legacy beneath.
Though the collection roughly follows the comics, utilizing them as an actual information isn’t notably helpful given the present deviates wildly in lots of the trendy storylines.
Brandon, as an illustration within the comics leads the same life to Chloe (ie movie star endorsements and dwelling the excessive life) however doesn’t within the present. The comics additionally swap between 2013 and 2020 whereas the present solely sticks to 2 timelines.
So whereas we might speculate about a number of the beats that might transition to the present from the comics it’d be much better to take a position the place the present heads subsequent based mostly on the occasions of the ultimate episode.
By which case, we’ve simply realized that Brainwave is behind a lot of the modern-day troubles the heroes face with him attempting to take over The Union and was behind the cloning of Blackstar. He clearly has excessive ambitions given he finally kills his personal daughter to progress his agenda.
Season 1 didn’t do sufficient, in our view anyway, to actually inform us what occurred to Blue Bolt and Skyfox so hopefully, their breakaway from The Union is a bit more fleshed out in season 2.
With a lot of season 1 specializing in the origin of the unique founding members of The Union with the youngsters largely taking a again seat, we’re anticipating the emphasis to shift storywise onto the youngsters in season 2. Hutch and Chloe are on a mission to search out Hutch’s father Bluefox. Brandon (Paragon) has seemingly patched his relationship together with his father after taking points with the code however clearly has a powerful relationship with Brainwave.
The place every of the three children will finally fall (good or dangerous) continues to be up within the air and the comics inform us that we must always anticipate the surprising on this entrance.
What’s subsequent from Millarworld on Netflix?
The subsequent massive venture is the anime collection Supercrooks which is anticipated to debut on Netflix later in 2021.
Elsewhere, Mark Millar has additionally revealed:
- The subsequent a number of years for Millarworld on Netflix are already mapped out with Millar saying: “We’ve obtained the subsequent three of 4 years deliberate out. And that’s simply the tv facet”
- Millar compares his position to Kevin Feige’s
