Will there be 'The Decameron' Season 2? Here's everything you need to know about Netflix show
Contains spoilers for 'The Decameron'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Netflix's 'The Decameron', set against the backdrop of the devastating Black Death epidemic, premiered on Thursday, July 25, sparking concerns among viewers about the show’s future.
The creative brainchild of Kathleen Jordan, the show recounts the story of a group of nobles and their servants fleeing to Villa Santa in the countryside to escape the 14th-century Black Death that devastated Florence.
Zosia Mamet, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Tanya Reynolds, and Amar Chadha-Patel, among others, play significant characters in this medical dark comedy series.
Will there be 'The Decameron' Season 2?
Since the show has just ended, it is too soon to speculate on its future since no official word has been offered by Netflix, the actors, or the creators about a second season.
The series which takes its cues from Giovanni Boccaccio's collection of stories from the book of the same name, effectively develops the show's central concept, which is the exploration of human nature, throughout its duration, with the majority of characters achieving some kind of closure by the end.
This does not, however, exclude a second season from happening. Despite not having been planned from the beginning, the series' critical success, widespread appeal, and devoted fan base may open the door for a sequel.
What could be the plotline for 'The Decameron' Season 2?
Given the rich tapestry of personalities and historical setting, a second season of the show might go down many different directions.
Following their successful initial escape, the group may encounter a new catastrophe, such as a fresh epidemic or natural calamity with a new setting, new challenges, and a fresh set of twists that delves into other facets of human nature.
Season 2 can also focus on the aftermath of the pandemic, addressing the long-term implications for people and society as a whole.
The show can take a contemporary route, delving into issues of isolation, community, and narrative in the context of a current catastrophe, such as a pandemic or climate change.
This might provide a new perspective on the original notion while retaining its essential principles.
