What day and time will 'Transatlantic' Season 2 be released? And everything else you need to know
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Transatlantic', Netflix's eagerly anticipated World War II period drama, recently made its debut on the streaming platform, and speculation about a Season Two renewal has already begun. The plot of the period drama on Netflix focuses on Varian Fry, an American journalist, who is tasked with assisting writers and artists in safely escaping Nazi-occupied France and returning to the United States of America.
The limited series, which is based on Julie Orringer's book 'The Flight Portfolio', was co-created by Anna Winger and Daniel Hendler. Stéphanie Chuat, Véronique Reymond, and Mia Meyer created the seven-part series, with Anna Winger co-producing and Camille McCurry directing.

When will ‘Transatlantic’ Season 2 be released?
The streaming platform promoted the show as a "limited series," implying that there will be no season two of the period drama. However, Anna Winger was reported to have signed a multi-year deal with the streaming platform, and in an interview with THR, she stated that "there are so many great stories in this same space, and we just are picking one slice. We’re even just choosing one slice of the Emergency Rescue Committee because there was actually a lot of people involved. And each of them deserve a movie in their own right, like there were so many great characters. There were people like Charles Fawcett, Miriam Davenport, Danny Bénédite. There were so many refugees we had to leave out: Heinrich Mann, Golo Mann, Alma Mahler. There are so many people in this history, and we picked a few to tell a very specific story."
According to her remarks, it appears that there may be some room left to explore the components of the Emergency Rescue Committee or another rescue mission, and if Netflix officials are interested, they might show a conventional drama or even take an anthology approach.
What is the plot of ‘Transatlantic’ Season Two?
As Anna Winger mentioned in her interview, there are many stories in the same space that require being shared with the audience, so it is possible that stories about the other rescue missions could be made, but for 'Transatlantic,' which is based on a book, the seven-episode series pretty much sums up the entire thing.
What is the cast for ‘Transatlantic’ Season Two?
The stellar cast for season one was led by Cory Michael Smith as Varian Fry, Gillian Jacobs as Mary Jayne Gold, Lucas Englander as Albert Hirschman, Deleila Piasko as Lisa Fittko, Ralph Amoussou as Paul Kandjo, Amit Rahav as Thomas Lovegrove, Corey Stoll as Graham Patterson, Grégory Montel as Philippe Frot, and Lolita Chammah as Mademoiselle Letoret.
It can be said that if Netflix and Anna Winger decide to share a story in the same space, it is very unlikely to meet the old cast members. The audience can expect to meet a new cast to portray new characters on the show.
'Transatlantic' Season One is streaming on Netflix.
