Fans of the fantasy comedy series “The Watch” are eagerly awaiting news of a potential second season. Based on the beloved Discworld novels by Sir Terry Pratchett, the show offered a humorous and action-packed adventure through the bustling city of Ankh-Morpork.
BBC America has been quite hush-hush about the eventual release of the next season, so it looks like we’d have to wait for the network to give us further updates before we can form our opinions as to what’s next in line for the show.
In this guide, we will walk you through all the details that we could find about The Watch Season 2 and its eventual release.
When is The Watch Season 2 Releasing?
The first season of The Watch premiered on January 03, 2021, and wrapped up on February 14, 2021. It is safe to say that it has been three years since the release of the first season and we still don’t know what’s next.
BBC America has yet to renew the show for a new season, which is quite disappointing, given how prompt the network is with their previous releases. All we have to do right now is ensure that we are focused on catching up with the first season.
Before you panic and think of a possible cancellation, be assured that there is no official news related to the cancellation yet. So, you can rest easy at the moment instead of panicking that you won’t be able to witness what’s next.
What can we expect from The Watch Season 2?
While details are scarce, potential storylines for a second season could explore several avenues. The first season concluded with the Watch facing the aftermath of their encounter with the dragon, leaving room for further exploration of the city’s political turmoil and the characters’ struggles.
Additionally, the introduction of various plot threads, such as the looming threat of the dwarfs and the mysteries surrounding the Patrician, could be delved into further.
Furthermore, with Pratchett’s vast Discworld universe offering a plethora of stories and characters, the writers could potentially adapt new narratives not directly featured in the first season. This could introduce fresh faces and exciting adventures while staying true to the spirit of the source material.
At this point, all these theories and speculations about the second season of the show stem from the fact “if” the show is renewed sometime in the future. We do have to remain hopeful, given how abruptly and inconclusively the first season ended. We’d have to wait things out to see what’s next in line.
Who is returning to The Watch Season 2?
If The Watch returns with a sequel, you can be best assured that the show will also bring back all the main cast and protagonists, which would be an interesting thing to witness.
It would include:
- Richard Dormer as Captain Sam Vimes
- Adam Hugill as Constable Carrot Ironfoundersson
- Lara Rossi as Lady Sybil Ramkin
- Marama Corlett as Angua
- Bianca Simone Mannie as Wonse
- Samuel Adewunmi as Carcer Dun
- James Fleet as Arch
- Anna Chancellor as Lord Vetinari
