Will there be 'The Brothers Sun' Season 2? Here's the renewal status for Netflix's dark action-comedy show
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Brothers Sun' is the latest dark comedy action series streaming on Netflix. Featuring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh alongside Justin Chien and Sam Song Li, the series offers a pinch of black comedy sandwiched between smooth action and the complex drama of a gangster family.
The eight-episodic series hooks the audience till the end. With Season 1 ending things relatively open, the most obvious question is- will there be a Season 2?
'The Brothers Sun' Season 2 renewal status
As of now, Netflix has not yet confirmed the next season of 'The Brothers Sun'. The American series premiered on Netflix worldwide on Thursday, January 4 and the audience verdict is yet to arrive.
Netflix generally waits to see how the audience receives the show before announcing its renewal. No hints have also been dropped by the creators or the actors as yet.
'The Brothers Sun' has raked good reviews from the critics. The sleek action of the Asian actors on a global streaming giant is something that the audience would love to watch after the feel-good Christmas movies.
What is the plot of 'The Brothers Sun'?
'The Brothers Sun' revolves around Charles Sun, who hails from the biggest gangster family in Taiwan. After his father is shot by unknown attackers, he moves to Los Angeles to protect his mother (Eileen Sun) and younger brother (Bruce Sun).
Eileen and Bruce shifted to LA years ago and live a rather simple life away from crime and bloodbaths.

As someone tries to take down the Sun family for money and power, Charles takes on the responsibility to stop the attacks. While he is a seasoned criminal, he gets utterly disappointed that his brother Bruce is a soft-natured teenager and lives in a bubble.
Charles now has to take up the hard job of training his brother who finds it hard to adjust to the new gangster life.
