Netflix is notorious for canceling shows that received rave reviews from critics and were loved by the audiences as well. But there have been several instances where a series got mixed reviews but the streaming platform still goes ahead to renew the project with Season 2.
Shows like ’13 Reasons Why’, ‘Fuller House’, and ‘Arrested Development’ were absolutely amazing at the beginning, but even fans realized that they went on for too long. However, there was one series that fans have been wanting to see back on screen and it’s called ‘Another Life’. The first season aired in 2019 and after a gap of 2 long years, the sci-fi show is returning for another season on the streaming platform.

After taking a long route through space and surviving a couple of planets, the Salvare finally reach Pi Canis Majoris. They land on a planet where the signal from the artifact is the strongest and discover the sorry state the Achaia has left it in. However, Niko decides to help destroy the artifact on Zakir. But everything changes when they come face-to-face with a lot of alien ships. At first, Niko believes that the aliens have come for them, but they surround Zakir and destroy the planet.
In the end, we see that August, who had sex with both Javier and Oliver, is now pregnant. Bernie and Zayn are in a relationship, and Cas has made her peace with Niko.
